This review is based on information available before launch: URA tender results, published reports on the developer's plans, and our knowledge of the area. It is general information, not financial advice. We will update it when the price list, floor plans and site plan are released.
The short verdict
One Chuan Grove is a large, family-oriented 99-year condo in one of the quieter, better-connected pockets of the north-east. Its biggest strengths are location: the Circle Line, two interchanges one stop away, popular primary schools and the CTE; and scarcity: the first GLS condo at Lorong Chuan since 2009. Its biggest question marks are price, given the high land cost, and scale, with about 1,056 units in one estate. Whether it is right for you will come down to the price of the specific unit you want, compared with what else is available.
Pros
1. Circle Line within walking distance, with two interchanges one stop away
Lorong Chuan MRT (CC14) is roughly 500 m from the site in a straight line. One stop west is Bishan for the North-South Line; one stop east is Serangoon for the North-East Line. Almost any major destination can be reached with one change of train. See our Lorong Chuan MRT guide.
2. Popular primary schools nearby
St. Gabriel's Primary, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary and CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel are estimated to fall within 1 km, which matters for Primary 1 registration. Two have affiliated secondary schools. See schools near One Chuan Grove.
3. Rare new supply in an established area
Before Chuan Park, Lorong Chuan had gone more than a decade without a major new condo, and most nearby condos are over ten years old. A fresh 99-year lease and modern layouts stand out in this pocket.
4. Quiet, green surroundings close to the city
The site is next to the low-rise estates of Serangoon Gardens and Chiltern, which gives the area a calm feel. Yet the CTE puts Orchard and the CBD roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car outside peak hours.
5. A large estate with room for facilities
With about 30,346 sqm of land across the combined site, there is space for a full facility deck. Maintenance costs are shared across more households than in a boutique condo, and around seven shop units and a childcare centre are planned on site.
6. A broad range of unit sizes
Homes from about 474 sq ft to 1,561 sq ft, one-bedroom to five-bedroom, mean there should be options for singles, couples, young families and multi-generational households. See floor plans.
7. An established developer
Sing Holdings is SGX-listed and was founded in 1964; Sunway is one of Malaysia's largest groups and has delivered many Singapore homes with Hoi Hup. See the developer page.
Cons
1. A high land cost
The developer paid about S$1,331 to S$1,376 psf ppr, around S$1.33 billion in total, which analysts called a benchmark for District 19. That supports higher selling prices; analysts have estimated an average of around S$2,600 to S$2,800 psf. Buyers hoping for a bargain may be disappointed. See the tender analysis.
2. Many units, now and on resale
About 1,056 homes in one estate, next to Chuan Park's roughly 916 units, means a lot of supply in a small area. In future, sellers and landlords in the same project will compete with each other, which can limit pricing power.
3. Not right next to the MRT
At about a five- to eight-minute walk, One Chuan Grove is convenient, but Chuan Park is closer to the station. If a two-minute walk is essential to you, that matters. See One Chuan Grove vs Chuan Park.
4. Possible traffic noise for some stacks
Blocks or stacks facing the CTE or busy roads may get more noise. Check the site plan and orientation carefully before choosing.
5. Modest shopping on the doorstep
NTP+ beside the station covers daily needs, but for larger shopping trips you will head to NEX or Junction 8, one MRT stop away. See our neighbourhood guide.
6. A long wait to move in
As a project launching in 2027 with construction from 2026, completion is several years away. Families timing a move for a particular Primary 1 year should check the expected TOP carefully.
Who it suits, and who might look elsewhere
| Likely a good fit | May want to compare alternatives |
|---|---|
| Families prioritising schools within 1 km and the Circle Line | Buyers who need to move in within two to three years |
| HDB upgraders from Serangoon, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh | Buyers with a tighter budget per square foot |
| Owners of older condos in D19 and D20 wanting a fresh 99-year lease | Buyers who want to be right next to an MRT station |
| Buyers who value quiet surroundings close to the city | Investors focused mainly on short-term gains |
If your budget is lower or you prefer to stay in the north, compare One Chuan Grove with Chencharu Central Residences near Khatib MRT.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is One Chuan Grove a good buy?
It depends on your budget, timeline and what you value. Its strengths are the Circle Line, nearby schools, a rare GLS site and a large estate with facilities. Its drawbacks include a high land cost, many units competing on resale, and noise for blocks facing the CTE. Wait for the price list and compare unit by unit.
What are the main disadvantages of One Chuan Grove?
The main ones to weigh are the high land price (which supports higher selling prices), the large number of units, the walk of about five to eight minutes to the MRT rather than being next to it, and potential traffic noise for some stacks.
Who is One Chuan Grove best for?
Families who want schools within 1 km and a Circle Line station nearby, HDB upgraders from Serangoon, Bishan and Ang Mo Kio, and owners of older condos in Districts 19 and 20 looking for a new 99-year lease.
Should I wait for the price list before deciding?
Yes. Price is the single biggest factor in whether a project is good value. Compare the actual price of your preferred unit with Chuan Park and resale condos nearby.
