Built in 1990, the 314-unit Kensington Park Condominium in Serangoon Gardens is located on Kensington Park Drive; the land it sits on has a 999-year tenure which started in 1878. The sprawling 491,000 square foot rectangular plot is nestled within the affluent, low-density Serangoon Gardens landed neighbourhood.
In 2018, Kensington Park unit owners were aiming for a collective sale at a price of S$1.05 billion, which was not successful.
In 2022, Kensington Park launched another collective sale attempt by public tender with a guide price of S$1.28 billion.
And in their most recent attempt, Kensington Park relaunched their collective sale attempt in Feb 2023 at the unchanged price of S$1.28 billion.
Besides condo units, developers can potentially add strata-landed houses to the unit mix given Kensington Park’s location in Serangoon Gardens.

KENSINGTON Park in Serangoon Gardens has been launched for collective sale for the third time, again at an unchanged reserve price of S$1.28 billion.
The public tender will close on Feb 22 at 3 pm.
This comes after the last en bloc exercise closed on Nov 18, 2022 without a sale, said sole marketing agent CBRE on Thursday (Feb 9).
Located at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 Kensington Park Drive, the 999-year leasehold condominium zoned for residential use was first put up on the market on May 18 last year, and subsequently relaunched for sale on Oct 4. The 999-year tenure of the land began in 1878.

KENSINGTON Park condominium in Serangoon Gardens has been relaunched for en bloc sale via tender with an unchanged guide price of S$1.28 billion, sole marketing agent CBRE said on Tuesday (Oct 4).
Including a land betterment charge of S$209.8 million, the land rate works out to around S$1,444 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
After taking into consideration the 7 per cent bonus gross floor area allowed for balconies and a land betterment charge payable of around S$273.1 million, this translates to a lower S$1,407 per square foot per plot ratio.
The 314-unit property is located at 2,4,6,8,10,12 Kensington Park Drive and sits on a site spanning 491,000 square feet (sq ft). It has a leasehold of 999 years and is zoned for residential use with an allowable gross plot ratio of 2.1 and building height control of up to 24 storeys.
