SORA Condo | Official Sales by CEL Development, SingHaiyi Group, and KSH Holdings

99-Year Leasehold Condo at Yuan Ching Road, District 22, with a 300-Metre Frontage onto Jurong Lake Gardens

SORA (水岸華庭) is a 440-unit private condominium at 72, 74, 76 and 78 Yuan Ching Road in District 22, each block carrying its own postal code from 619601 to 619604. It is held on a 99-year lease commencing 30 August 2023 and developed by Lakeside Residential Pte. Ltd., a joint venture of CEL Development, SingHaiyi Group and KSH Holdings. Vacant possession is expected by 31 October 2028 and legal completion by 31 October 2031.

The site is the former Park View Mansions, a 160-unit development the joint venture acquired by collective sale for $260 million in July 2022, at roughly $1,023 per square foot per plot ratio. It has been redeveloped into four blocks on a 191,973.79 sqft site: Blocks 76 and 78 rise 20 storeys at 76.2m, and Blocks 72 and 74 stand at 12 storeys at 51m.

SORA holds a 300-metre frontage directly along Jurong Lake Gardens, Singapore’s third national garden and the first in the heartlands, with approximately 76% of its 440 units facing directly onto the park. For the complete unit type breakdown, fittings specification and location analysis, see the Buyer’s Guide to SORA.


 

SORA: A 300-Metre Frontage onto Jurong Lake Gardens

71 Facilities Across Nine Zones and Three Levels

 

SORA Project Information covers the full technical specification. The development’s 440 units sit across four blocks on a 191,973.79 sqft (17,834.8 sqm) site at plot ratio 2.1. Blocks 76 and 78 rise 20 storeys (76.2m), while Blocks 72 and 74 stand at 12 storeys (51m). The single-level basement carpark holds 352 covered lots, four of them EV charging lots, plus four accessible lots, and 74 bicycle lots sit near side gates 1 and 3. Architecture is by ADDP Architects, whose completed Singapore projects include Grandeur Park Residences, Park Colonial and Kopar at Newton. Construction is by Nakano Singapore and landscaping by Ecoplan Asia. SORA holds a Green Mark Gold+ rating.

SORA’s 71 individually named facilities are organised across nine landscaped zones on three physically separate levels, because the four blocks are not the same height. The first storey carries 47 of them across five zones, Tranquility Garden, Rejuvenation Corridor, The Moonlight Atrium, Zen Court and Connection Cove, anchored by a 50m lap pool (1.2m depth), a 29m Family Pool (1.2m depth) and a Kid’s Pool (0.3m depth), with a Spa House, Tennis Court, Gymnasium and three BBQ-capable pavilions.

The other 24 sit on the roofs, and every block has a rooftop zone of its own rather than only the tall pair. Lagoon Observatory tops Block 72 and Sunrise Dome tops Block 74, both at 51m, together holding 11 facilities including a Sky Lounge, Hammock Alcove and Boxing Area. Moonrise Gazebo tops Block 76 and Lakescape Lookout tops Block 78, both at 76.2m, holding 13 more including the Sky Bar, Vista Co-Work space, Sky Dining and the Stargazing Lawn. Residents may use all four rooftop zones, not just their own block’s.

 

 

12 Layouts Across 8 Price Bands, 538 to 1,938 sqft

 

SORA Floor Plans run to 12 named layouts, expanding to 34 unit types once the ground-floor and top-floor variants are counted, grouped into 8 price bands spanning 1 to 5 bedrooms. Sizes run from the 538 sqft 1 Bedroom + Study (Type A1S) to the 1,938 sqft 5 Bedroom Luxury (Type E1-T). The 2 Bedroom Deluxe + Study is the most common, at 138 of the 440 units. At the top of the range, the 4 Bedroom Luxury (D1, 1,528 to 1,787 sqft) and 5 Bedroom Luxury (E1, 1,679 to 1,938 sqft) each occupy a single stack across the entire development and come with a private lift opening directly into a private lobby.

Maintenance is charged on share value at $76.00 per share value per month, which runs from $380 per month for the 1 Bedroom + Study to $608 for the two Luxury bands. Every unit receives Electrolux kitchen appliances and Duravit, Geberit and Grohe bathroom fittings as standard, with a rain shower to the master bath.

The Smart Home System is identical across every layout and covers six features: Smart Home Gateway for remote device control, Smart Digital Lockset with PIN, biometric or RFID access, Smart Invite for pre-registered guest QR codes, Smart Booking for facility reservations, Smart Audio Video Telephony to grant lift-lobby access remotely, and Smart Air Con Controls for pre-cooling before arrival.

The kitchen package is where the specification tier actually falls, and it does not fall where the band names suggest. Types from A1S through the 3 Bedroom Deluxe (C1) use an induction hob, because town gas is not supplied to those types; the 3 Bedroom Premium (C2) and above use a gas hob. The same line governs the household shelter, the separate WC and the yard, which C1 does not have and C2 does. The 4 Bedroom and 5 Bedroom Luxury types additionally receive an integrated refrigerator, a built-in microwave oven and a separate washer and dryer. For current SORA pricing and available discounts, visit the SORA Price Chart.

 

Why SORA Stands Apart: the 300-metre frontage onto a national garden is not something a later development on a neighbouring parcel can replicate, and it is the structural reason the pricing sits where it does. The site is inside the Jurong Lake District, planned by URA as the largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre, ahead of a transformation anchored by two future MRT lines: the Jurong Region Line, with its Jurong East station planned for 2028, and the Cross Island Line, whose station in the heart of the precinct is planned for 2032.

 

Book a SORA Showflat Viewing

 

The SORA Showflat is at 61A Prinsep Street, open daily from 10am to 7pm by appointment, with the B3S (2 Bedroom Deluxe + Study), C5S (3 Bedroom Premium + Study) and E1 (5 Bedroom Luxury) units on display. Note that the gallery is not at the project site on Yuan Ching Road, so set your navigation to the Prinsep Street address. As the official sales site for SORA by Lakeside Residential Pte. Ltd., our developer-appointed sales team provides direct developer pricing and personalised guidance at every stage, at no extra cost, since no commission is payable when you book through us. Unit-by-unit availability is on the SORA Balance Unit Chart.

SORA Connectivity: What’s Walkable, and What Isn’t

 

SORA Location Highlights sets this out in full. Lakeside MRT on the East-West Line is approximately 1.7km from SORA, roughly a 3-minute drive rather than a walking distance. Lakeside Residential Pte. Ltd. is providing a free shuttle bus to Lakeside MRT and Jurong East MRT, running hourly for two years or until the first annual general meeting, whichever comes first.

Two future rail lines will change that picture materially. The Jurong Region Line adds a third line at Jurong East, planned by URA to open in 2028, and the Cross Island Line brings a station into the heart of the Jurong Lake District precinct, planned for 2032. Jurong Town Hall MRT opens with the Jurong Region Line, both within a short drive of SORA.

SORA sits inside the Jurong Lake District, positioned by URA as the largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre and delivered in stages over the coming decades. The infrastructure is the committed part: the rail is under construction, and the district’s commercial plots continue to come to market, with URA launching a White site at Town Hall Link in July 2026.

For schools, NTU, NUS and SUSS are all within a 20-minute drive; closer to home, Jurong Secondary, Yuan Ching Secondary, Lakeside Primary, Rulang Primary, River Valley High, Canadian International School and Dulwich College all sit within the immediate district. For daily amenities, JEM, Westgate and IMM cover Jurong Gateway’s larger retail and dining needs, with Taman Jurong Food Centre and Starbucks at Lakeside House closer to the development itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About SORA

 

Where is SORA?
SORA is at 72, 74, 76 and 78 Yuan Ching Road in District 22, on the southern edge of Jurong Lake Gardens. Each of the four blocks has its own postal code, running 619601, 619602, 619603 and 619604, so use the one matching your block when arranging a delivery or setting a navigation destination.

Is SORA freehold or leasehold?
SORA is a 99-year leasehold development, with tenure commencing 30 August 2023. That start date is the one that matters for a future resale or refinancing, since the lease runs from it rather than from completion in 2028.

How many units does SORA have?
440 residential units across four blocks, two of 20 storeys and two of 12 storeys. They are drawn across 28 stacks, and not every stack runs its block’s full height, which is why some columns on the unit charts stop short.

Who is the developer of SORA?
Lakeside Residential Pte. Ltd., a joint venture of CEL Development, SingHaiyi Group and KSH Holdings. CEL holds 40% and the other two 30% each, and CEL and SingHaiyi have since merged into one group. Full company profiles and their BCA CONQUAS records are on our About Us page.

What was on the SORA site before construction?
The former Park View Mansions, a 160-unit development sold by collective sale for $260 million in July 2022. That works out at roughly $1,023 per square foot per plot ratio against the site’s 2.1 plot ratio.

How far is SORA from Lakeside MRT?
Approximately 1.7km, around a 3-minute drive, which is not a walking distance and we would rather say so. A free shuttle bus to Lakeside MRT and Jurong East MRT runs hourly for two years or until the first annual general meeting. From 2028 the Jurong Region Line adds a third line at Jurong East.

When is SORA’s TOP?
Expected Vacant Possession is 31 October 2028, with Expected Legal Completion on 31 October 2031. The three-year gap is standard: vacant possession is when you can collect keys and begin renovation, and legal completion is when the title transfers.

What unit types are available at SORA?
12 named layouts, expanding to 34 unit types once the ground-floor and top-floor variants are counted, grouped into 8 price bands from 538 sqft to 1,938 sqft. The top-floor variants add a void over the living area, giving them a 4.40m ceiling against 2.90m elsewhere. Full breakdown on our Floorplan Layout page.

Where is the SORA showflat, and is there a buyer’s commission?
The showflat is at 61A Prinsep Street, Singapore 187936, open daily 10am to 7pm by appointment. It is not at the project site, so navigate to Prinsep Street rather than Yuan Ching Road. There is no buyer’s commission and no agent fee at any point, because our sales representatives are paid by the developer, and the price is the same through any authorised channel.

For a complete AI-searchable reference covering every unit type, fixture count by bedroom, appliance differences and technical specification, see the full Buyer’s Guide to SORA.
