Faber Residence' Design Concept & Features
Faber Residence is an exclusive low-rise condominium development. It includes nine 5-storey towers designed in a "tropical modernism" concept that aims to create a calm, resort-like living environment. This is achieved by carefully blending the buildings with lush natural surroundings that foster a human-scaled architectural presence.
Architectural Design
The architecture of Faber Residence embraces tropical modernism, balancing visual lightness with structural rhythm. Its low-rise profile integrates harmoniously with the surrounding landed enclave, while also addressing practical concerns like noise and privacy.
- Tropical Modernism: The nine low-rise, 5-storey towers adopt a resort-inspired style. Horizontal planes are softened with vertical accents, creating rhythm and reducing the impression of mass.
- Façade Treatment: Pavilion-like balconies emphasise openness and natural ventilation, blurring indoor and outdoor boundaries.
- Noise Mitigation: Units facing the AYE incorporate glass balcony railings and acoustic ceilings to enhance comfort.
Site Design
Optimised for comfort and nature connectivity, the site design employs thoughtful tower arrangement and facility placement.
- Strategic Orientation: Towers are staggered and gently curved, maximising river and trail views while ensuring privacy from neighbouring developments.
- Connectivity: Side gates directly link residents to park connectors and bus stops. Vehicular access is discreetly positioned, with a single basement ensuring efficient parking.
- Facilities Placement: Clubhouse, dining pavilions, and gym are sited as landscape anchors, also serving as buffers to noise and neighbouring properties
Landscape Design
A deeply resort-inspired landscape transforms homecoming into an experience of serenity, blurring indoor-outdoor lines.
- 18 Curated Courtyards: Each courtyard carries a distinct theme - botanical gardens, lily ponds, wellness zones, and fitness areas - encouraging both activity and retreat.
- Integration with Nature: The internal greenery links seamlessly with Sungei Ulu Pandan and the future Old Jurong Line Nature Trail, embedding the development within the wider green network.
- Resort Ambience: Shaded walkways, tree-lined boulevards, and water features transform daily circulation into immersive landscape experiences
Interior Designs
Residences, from 2- to 5-bedroom layouts, are meticulously crafted for efficiency, adaptability, and spaciousness.
- Efficient Layouts: Dumbbell plans maximise usable space, while open kitchens and rectangular living-dining areas extend to balconies.
- Flexibility: Selected units feature hackable walls, allowing residents to adapt spaces for larger living or dining areas.
- Functional: Storage integration and naturally ventilated kitchens and bathrooms reflect a balance of function and comfort.
Facing and Views
Strategic orientation optimises views, enhances privacy, and mitigates noise for residents.
- Riverfront Premium: Larger 4- and 5-bedroom units front Sungei Ulu Pandan for serene water views.
- Green Frontage: Compact 2- and 3-bedroom units overlook the landscaped courtyards or future nature trail.
- Openness and Privacy: Tower spacing of 20–29m ensures both cross-ventilation and visual separation.

What are the Prices for Faber Residence?
The average selling price for Faber Residence is estimated at $2,200 psf to $2,300 psf, making it one of the most attractive new launches in the Rest of Central Region (RCR).
This is based on its land acquisition cost at the government land tender in November 2024.
A consortium of GuocoLand, TID Residential, and Intrepid Investments was awarded the Faber Walk site after it submitted the highest bid of $349.858 million, beating two other competitors.
This translates to a land cost of $900 psf per plot ratio (ppr).

Where is Faber Residence Located?
Faber Residence is situated along Faber Walk in Singapore’s District 5, between the mature towns of Clementi and Jurong East.
Both of these housing estates are well established, offering residents a comprehensive range of amenities including shopping malls, neighbourhood retail shops, wet markets, and popular food centres.
Nestled within a serene, low-density private residential enclave, Faber Residence is flanked by the scenic Ulu Pandan Park Connector and Pandan River on one side, and the tranquil landed homes of Faber Heights on the other. This will offer residents refreshing unblocked views of greenery, riverfront, or landed housing, as well as a tranquil and pleasant living environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Surrounding condominiums include Waterfront @ Faber, Faber Crest, Whistler Grand, Parc Riviera, and Twin Vew, creating a well-knit residential community within a peaceful, low-density private residential neighbourhood.
Meanwhile, the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), adjacent to it, will provide residents with convenient access to the Jurong Lake District, CBD and beyond.
A Brief Background About Faber Walk & the West Coast Area
Historically, the West Coast was associated with Singapore’s early maritime and industrial activities. The area was defined by shipyards, factories, and warehouses linked to the Jurong Industrial Estate in the 1960s. It was a place that drove Singapore’s economic evolution.
However, changes arrived gradually, with urban planners began reimagining the district in the 1980s, weaving residential estates into what was once an industrial belt.
Clementi grew into a vibrant town with schools, amenities, and transport, while nearby pockets like Faber Walk retained a quieter, more residential character. Landed homes in Faber Heights gave the enclave a reputation for calm and exclusivity.
Over time, condominiums were introduced, offering modern facilities while preserving the low-rise, laid-back charm. With the Pandan River at its edge and the Ulu Pandan Park Connector nearby, Faber Walk evolved into a green, riverside community - an oasis within the city.
Today, the West Coast area has become a sought-after housing precinct as key economic hubs such as the Jurong Lake District and One-North continue to grow, while the proximity to top schools and tertiary institutions adds to its appeal.
Transportation Connectivity
One drawback of Faber Residence is the lack of an MRT station within walking distance.
Currently, the nearest MRT stations are Clementi and Jurong East – approximately 1.4 km and 1.7 km away, respectively.
However, when the Pandan Reservoir and Jurong Town Hall MRT stations on the Jurong Regional Line are completed in 2027/2028, they will be less than 1.1 km away. This may still not be a comfortable walking distance for many, especially under Singapore’s hot weather.
However, public buses along the Ayer Rajah Expressway next to the development will offer an alternative and convenient mode of transportation.
What are the Shopping Malls & Amenities Near Faber Residence?
Living at Faber Residence requires a trade-off between the tranquillity of an exclusive, low-density private enclave and not having amenities located within its immediate surroundings.
Nevertheless, residents benefit from the proximity to two established towns - Clementi and Jurong East - both a short drive or bus ride away.
Clementi: It is home to shopping malls such as Clementi Mall, 321 Clementi, and Grantral Mall, as well as a bustling town centre with HDB shops, eateries, a food centre and a wet market.
Jurong East: It offers a more extensive retail cluster comprising JEM, Westgate, IMM, and the upcoming retail podium at J’Den, a mixed-use development currently under construction. In addition, numerous supermarkets, diverse dining options, and a wide range of entertainment facilities ensure residents enjoy a broad spectrum of modern amenities and conveniences.

Conclusion - Faber Residence’s Investment Potential
For individuals who prioritise direct MRT access and immediate convenience to retail and dining amenities, Faber Residence may not align perfectly with their lifestyle needs.
However, its true appeal lies in its serene, low-density environment. This exclusive development is perfect for discerning individuals seeking tranquillity within a private residential enclave.
Nestled close to nature with stunning river views, it offers a peaceful, secluded lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of urban living.
| Pros of Living at Faber Residence | Cons of Living at Faber Residence |
| A low-density development offers exclusive living. | A lack of vibrancy within a predominantly private landed residential enclave. |
| Tranquil environment close to nature and the Pandan River. | Not within comfortable walking distance of an MRT station. |
| Situated a brief walk from a public bus stop that offers connections to major towns. | Residents must take a feeder bus to access the nearest MRT stations. |
| Near highly-regarded schools and tertiary institutions. | Shopping centres and essential amenities are not located within close proximity. |
| Promising investment prospects due to proximity to major employment hubs such as Jurong Lake District and One-North | May be affected by noise from the busy Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) located next to it. |
| Pent-up demand due to the lack of new launches in the area - first GLS site since 2018. |
Comparative Market Analysis
To gauge the investment prospects of Faber Residence, a comparative market analysis has been conducted for three condominiums nearby and the broader District 5.
It covers average price per square foot (psf) gains since launch, as well as the 10-year psf trend for the district, providing both a project-level and district-wide perspective (refer to chart below):
CMA - Whistler Grand vs Twin Vew vs Parc Riviera
| Project | Tenure | No. of Units | Launched Date | Average Price Gain (PSF) |
| Whistler Grand | 99-year | 716 | November 2018 | +39.35% |
| Twin Vew | 99-year | 520 | May 2018 | +29.69% |
| Parc Riviera | 99-year | 752 | November 2016 | +31.52% |
| District 5 (10-year Price Trend) | - | - | - | +85.85% |
The data reveal that properties within District 5 have demonstrated healthy performance over the last decade. Although Parc Riviera's appreciation may appear to lag slightly in comparison (on an annualised basis), its trajectory was adversely affected by the implementation of the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) in 2013.
Due to the tighter financing limits, it temporarily dampened buyers’ demand and price momentum in preceding years.
