Scheduled for preview on October 28, Hillock Green at Lentor Central, the heart of an entirely new private residential estate master-planned by URA, is set to redefine luxury living.

About Hillock Green Developers
Hillock Green, sprawled across a 144,714 sq ft residential site, is the result of a joint effort by a consortium featuring Forsea Holdings, a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Co (CCCC), Soilbuild Group Holdings and United Engineers Ltd (UEL).
With Forsea Holdings holding a 49% stake in the venture and UEL and Soilbuild each possessing 25.5%, the consortium acquired the site for $481.03 million ($1,108 psf per plot ratio) in a government land sale (GLS) tender in September 2022.
Notably, it is the sole development site, out of the six sold in Lentor Hills estate, to be awarded to a consortium unrelated to GuocoLand or Hong Leong Holdings.
Lim Han Qin, director of Soilbuild Group Holdings, expresses excitement, stating, “We are thrilled to be part of shaping this emerging neighborhood. It’s an exciting opportunity for us, and a positive development for the residents of Lentor Hills estate as we bring a fresh perspective in terms of design and overall project approach.”
According to UEL group managing director Roy Tan, each of the joint-venture partners plays a unique role in Hillock Green, leveraging their strengths in construction, development management, strategy, and marketing.
CCCC, one of China’s top real estate developers, ranked 60th among the Fortune Global 500 companies last year. Their expertise lies in global transportation infrastructure projects. Forsea Holdings, the Singapore branch of CCCC, established in 2017, has undertaken 12 construction projects worth over $3 billion, including significant projects like Changi East Airport, King Albert Park MRT Station, the Land Transport Authority’s corporate headquarters at Kampong Java and the Johor Bahru Singapore Rapid Transit Station (RTS).
Wang Xin, director of Forsea Holdings, highlights the importance of the Singapore market, saying, “Singapore is a very important growth market for us. Hillock Green is our first Singapore residential development, and collaboration with Soilbuild and United Engineers.”
