When you think of the Singapore Science Park, you’d likely think of tech companies, research institutions, and other science-y MNCs. After all, it’s all in the name.
But that’s about to change. There’s something exciting in the works that’s set to shake up people’s perspectives of the Science Park, and we have the info hot off the press.
Real estate giant CapitaLand Development is unveiling LyndenWoods, the first residential development within the rejuvenated SSP precinct. Marketed as a prospective opportunity for discerning homeowners and investors, the condo is an opportunity to “be part of a holistic work-live-play innovation district, that seamlessly integrates purpose-built infrastructure, biophilic living, community-driven amenities, and thoughtfully designed placemaking programmes”.
The condo just opened for public preview this weekend on 28th June 2025, here’s everything that you need to know about the first-ever residential project in what is essentially Singapore’s Silicon Valley.
If you’re eager to find out more and potentially make a purchase, reach out to a sales representative for LyndenWoods today.

According to CapitaLand Development, the inspiration behind LyndenWoods is rooted (yes, pun intended) in the architectural concept of “Tree of Life”, and takes its name from the linden tree, which is a “timeless symbol of tranquillity and renewal”.
Comprising 343 units spread across 2 blocks of 24-storey apartments, LyndenWoods will offer a mix of 2- to 4-bedroom units, ranging from 637sqft to as large as 1,647sqft. On each floor, the number of units will range from 6 to 8 units, and each floor is interlinked to the neighbouring block by a communal sky terrace garden. This isn’t just to foster community interaction amongst residents—each tower will also sport a dual point-block design that enhances natural ventilation and lets in plenty of daylight throughout the building and units.
Paying homage to its surroundings, LyndenWoods, positioned as a “forest sanctuary”, will offer a biophilic lifestyle for residents, echoing the adjacent Kent Ridge Park and extending the green spine of the Southern Ridges into residents’ everyday lives.
Strategically located within Singapore’s version of Silicon Valley

The official address of LyndenWoods is 69 and 71 Science Park Drive.
If you’re not too familiar with the area, here’s a quick rundown. It’s technically classified under the Queenstown estate, otherwise also known as District 5 of the Rest of Central Region (RCR) of Singapore. But in reality, it’s much closer to the One North – Kent Ridge area than Queenstown MRT itself.
Some might recognise this spot as the former location of DSTA from 2000 to 2018, before the building was demolished in 2020. After CapitaLand Development acquired the site, they successfully applied to rezone the plot for residential purposes, and that’s how the idea of LyndenWoods was first conceptualised.
Even though the map shows that LyndenWoods is right next to the AYE, noise and dust concerns shouldn’t be too much of an issue as there’s buffer space between the highway and the development.

Accessible connectivity to other parts of Singapore

In terms of public transport connectivity, the most immediate option would be Kent Ridge MRT, just a 5 to 6-minute walk through an underground passageway from the adjacent Geneo mall. This gives you easy access via the Circle Line to other parts of Singapore such as Buona Vista, Bishan, Paya Lebar and Marina Bay. Plus, Kent Ridge MRT is expected to be an interchange station in the future, connected to the West Coast extension of the Jurong District Line, meaning even better access to the Western region of Singapore.
If you’re open to other MRT options, there are other existing interchange stations along the Circle Line, such as Buona Vista (East-West Line), Botanic Gardens (Downtown Line), Caldecott (Thomson-East Coast Line) and HarbourFront (North-East Line)—all just a short trip away from Kent Ridge.
The other public transport option would be bus service 92, which stops right outside LyndenWoods. Service 92 is a trunk route that drives through places such as Ghim Moh and Buona Vista.
For drivers, the location is a dream. The AYE expressway is just a short drive away, connecting you to other expressways such as the CTE, MCE, and ECP. You’ll also find that the development is conveniently located around the central region of Singapore, and so zipping away to other parts of Singapore, such as Clementi, Holland Village, Orchard, or even the CBD wouldn’t be too much of a hassle.
Another key highlight of its location is its proximity to green spaces like Kent Ridge Park, the Southern Ridges, and West Coast Park. These are recreational spots loved by many for their nature trails and open spaces—perfect for those who love relaxing outdoors, jogging, or cycling.
Biophilic design meets modern luxury

With all the buzz around modern hybrid living and biophilic design, it’s only befitting that LyndenWoods weaves these elements right into its residential units and communal facilities.
As you would expect, the development incorporates various aspects of sustainable living, such as water-efficient fittings, energy-efficient air-conditioning, and even intentional orientation of the residential blocks to minimise heat exposure. In line with its “forest sanctuary” theme, almost half of the overall site area is also covered in lush greenery and landscaping, making it a genuinely visually appealing place to call home.

A fair amount of thought has gone into the design of the residential units as well. Units are primarily oriented to the highly desired North-South facing, with either a sea or city view. This not only gives you a choice of scenery, but also ensures that units wouldn’t have to contend with the harsh morning or afternoon sun, ensuring comfort as well as energy efficiency.
The units themselves add touches of luxury with brand-name fittings and finishings. For instance, units come equipped with quality Bosch or Miele kitchen appliances and Liebherr fridges, as well as Ziptrak blinds for the balconies. In addition, smart home features like smart air-conditioning controls and digital door locks make life a little easier and more connected.

In terms of unit layouts, LyndenWoods keeps things straightforward, which is always a good thing. There are no weird layouts for easier furniture placement and more efficient use of every square metre.
The developers also shared that only certain units will have prefabricated bathroom units, and units will have fewer structural walls. This is good news for residents, as it means greater flexibility in deciding how to best customise their homes according to their needs.

Similar to most condo developments, LyndenWoods boasts a wide variety of facilities, including a 50m infinity lap pool, co-working lounge, tennis and pickleball court, gym, function room, BBQ pavilions, and more. Oh, and for those with doggos, you’ll be pleased to know that the condo will also have its very own Pets Park for them to run about and have fun!
Unit breakdown & indicative costs
Across its 343 units, the majority consist of smaller 2-bedroom and 2-bedroom plus study variants, which make up about 65% of the total unit mix.
| Unit Type | Floor Area | No. of Units |
| 2-Bedroom | 635 – 721 sqft | 137 |
| 2-Bedroom + Study | 850 – 883 sqft | 92 |
| 3-Bedroom | 1,023 – 1,066 sqft | 45 |
| 3-Bedroom + Guest (Premium) | 1,292 sqft | 46 |
| 4-Bedroom (Premium) | 1,647 sqft | 23 |
At the time of writing, the indicative pricing of units has yet to be officially released by its developers. However, some estimates place the price range at about $2,300 to $2,500 psf. That means 2-bedroom units could start from about $1.46M, 3-bedroom units from $2.35M, and 4-bedroom units from $3.79M.
We reckon that the official pricing will be made known when the show flat is officially opened to the public, so stay tuned for updates here.
Who would LyndenWoods be suitable for?

The answer to this is somewhat of a mixed bag, because there are pros and cons, as with any condo development.
As the first residential project in the Singapore Science Park cluster, one of the key value propositions of LyndenWoods is undoubtedly the first-mover advantage buyers will enjoy if they manage to secure a unit. This usually means snagging the best prices from the developer.
CapitaLand Development isn’t just behind LyndenWoods—they also developed the adjacent Geneo and other nearby buildings, investing a staggering $883M to redevelop the area into a leading life sciences and innovation cluster. It has already attracted strong interest from reputable multinational and local companies, so the whole precinct is poised for growth, which should boost property values over time..
Because of the strong concentration of offices and corporations in the area, it’s expected that there will also be a very decent rental demand, especially from those working in one-north, and even NUS students, particularly international ones. So, for those looking to buy to invest, LyndenWoods should be able to net you a decent return on investment.
On the other hand, we suspect that families with young children might hesitate. The area lacks schools in the area—not just primary or secondary schools, but even childcare and preschools. As we mentioned earlier, since this isn’t a traditional residential estate, amenities like supermarkets and shops aren’t exactly on the doorstep either, requiring you to travel out a bit further to access them. Not too much of a problem if you drive, but if you’re solely relying on public transport, then it can get a bit inconvenient over time.
For those working in the CBD, LyndenWoods could be an appealing option for a more affordable home that’s still well-connected. Right now, the Circle Line ends at Harbourfront, so commuting to Marina Bay and Promenade means a long ride across the line from Kent Ridge. But by the time LyndenWoods is ready for moving in, the Circle Line extension connecting HarbourFront and Marina Bay to form a true Circle Line will be complete, cutting the journey from 21 stops to just 9 stops.
Head down to the LyndenWoods showflat to find out more
