And when two renowned real estate developers, Singland Homes and UOL Venture Developments come together, you can be rest assured that this will be an awesome property development to look forward to.

The Clement Canopy Review
With a strong combined property portfolio of existing projects in the western city-fringe of Singapore – such as Alex Residences, Mon Jervois and Principal Garden, UOL and SingLand has a definite understanding of the demand and supply conditions of the western region. Most importantly, they know what buyers are looking for these days.
What really surprised me initially was its omission of 1-Bedroom (or rather shoebox apartments) in the condo development.
In fact, there isn’t much new launches going on in the Clementi precinct, other than the closest The Trilinq and Parc Riviera at West Coast. These projects have quite a number of 1-bedroom apartment units and till this date, there are still plenty of “stock” available.
UOL Group probably sees the demand for such unit types as being weak, thus unlikely to be profitable. So come to think about it, it does make absolute sense to leave out 1-bedroom types and this could well turn out to be a brilliant strategy to boost revenue.
In terms of quality, there’s a good chance that the developers will bring in the similar quality and experiences in those earlier projects to The Clement Canopy – and at a much affordable price.
As for the unit layouts based on the given Clement Canopy floor plans, I would say they are pretty efficient in general. Rooms look rather spacious as compared to most other new launch projects, and I don’t really see much wastage – except the long walkway from the main door the the living area (for some of the layouts).
By looking at the artist impressions, it does seem like a stunning development with lots of beautiful landscaping. On a personal note, it is definitely a bonus for me as I am a big fan for lush greenery landscapes and low-density living (about 30% lesser units as compared to its neighbouring new condo projects). Thus, I certainly won’t mind pay a small premium for that.
So what’s a fair entry price for The Clement Canopy?
Let’s do a quick price comparison with the nearby condominiums which are considered brand new and still under construction. Please note that the average psf price are based on all transacted units within the project or rough estimation.
| PROJECT NAME | TENURE | COMPLETION | NO. OF UNITS | AVERAGE PSF (S$) |
| THE TRILINQ | 99-YEAR | 2017 | 755 | 1,398 |
| PARC RIVIERA | 99-YEAR | 2020 | 752 | 1,193 |
| THE CLEMENT CANOPY | 99-YEAR | 2021 | 505 | ~ 1,300 |
One thing in common among these 3 condo projects is that they aren’t located near an MRT Station. Closest being The Trilinq, which is approximately 500 metres away from Clementi MRT Station. Followed by The Clement Canopy at about 950 metres and Parc Riviera…well you probably should just get your own ride or call for an Uber.
Despite being almost 1 km away from the nearest MRT station, this is definitely not a deal-breaker for Clement Canopy.
If you’ve been looking at property launches all this while, prices of sub-urban new launch condominiums which are located near the MRT station are usually priced at an average of $1,400 psf. Therefore, the Clement Canopy is only worth considering on average psf of S$1,300 or slightly above (given the current market situation as well).
Ultimately, people may argue that this project is practically next to the Jurong precinct – earmarked to be the 2nd Central Business District of Singapore, then I would rather go for Lake Grande (averaging S$1,361 psf) if the psf price at Clement Canopy is above my suggested entry mark.
It’s without a doubt that developers UOL will deliver a remarkable condo project with their impressive track record & reputation in Singapore, and they are one of the those developers who doesn’t really over-price their projects (as seen at Botanique at Bartley and Principal Garden). So I am hoping to see the same for The Clement Canopy.
