Be a neighbour to Mandai Integrated Resort With government plans and investment underway to turn the leafy swathe of Mandai into a 126ha eco-tourism hub, the area will house the famous Singapore Zoo, the River Safari, the Night Safari, the Bird Park, and the new Rainforest Park from as early as 2020.
There will also be eco-sensitive accommodations such as camps, tents and family rooms, together with Singapore’s very first Banyan Tree resort.

Direct access to city centre Just 500m away is the new Springleaf station (on the Thomson-East Coast Line), which will be operational by The Essence’s TOP.
The Thomson-East Coast Line is connected to every current MRT line.
Enjoy direct access to Orchard and Marina Bay stations, which are around 20 minutes away on the Southbound track.
Also, with Woodlands North station just 3 stations from Springleaf station (Northbound track), Johor Bahru becomes a convenient destination.
Convenient routes to other districts In addition, The Essence is conveniently located a short distance away from the North-South integrated transport corridor, which is expected to be completed around 2026. Running parallel to the Central Expressway (CTE), it will greatly reduce time taken for inter-town travel. A cycling path along the entire stretch of the highway will also link up Park Connector Networks and the dedicated cycling path networks within HDB towns along the corridor.

How to read these figures
Medians describe the transactions in this view, not a valuation or a change in every home’s value. Middle 50% is the 25th–75th percentile, shown only with at least five observations; smaller groups are flagged. Minima and maxima are available in the breakdown tables. Percentiles use linear interpolation.
Price and PSF statistics include only sales explicitly recorded as one unit. Bulk sales and records with an unknown unit count remain in the detailed table when All unit sizes is selected. PSF uses unrounded strata area; size bands use rounded square feet. A size band does not identify bedrooms, penthouses, layout or unit condition.
Rental bedrooms are as reported; missing or non-numeric values are Not stated. Rental sizes are ranges. Rents and sales are separate samples: no project yield or exact rental PSF is inferred.

Your enquiry will include the property, page URL and transaction filters shown above. Yield-calculator amounts are excluded.
Test your assumptions
Rental yield calculator
Enter a purchase price and monthly rent for the same home. Results update as you type. Your assumptions stay in this page while you change transaction filters; they are not submitted or saved.
Rental reference in the selected view: median S$3,600 / month from 7 contracts. These contracts may cover different-sized homes. Check the bedroom breakdown and records before choosing your rent assumption.
Optional vacancy and running expenses
Blank expense fields count as zero. Enter annual costs for the full year; they are not reduced during vacancy.
Enter purchase price and monthly rent to calculate.
Annual income after entered expenses = monthly rent × (12 − vacant months) − monthly maintenance × 12 − annual property tax − other annual running costs. Yield after entered expenses divides that income by purchase price.
Results use your assumptions and are indicative, before financing and personal income tax. The denominator excludes stamp duties, legal fees, renovation, furnishing and other acquisition costs. Include recurring insurance, repairs and letting costs in other running costs where relevant. No appreciation, mortgage repayment or return on equity is calculated. Historical rental contracts do not guarantee future rent or occupancy.
History and activity
How transactions changed over time
Monthly · Oct 2025 – Sep 2026
The active filters also apply here. Value axes start at zero and adjust to the selected records; check their labels when comparing views. Each point shows a period median; the bars below count recorded sales or rental contracts. Different sale types and rental bedroom counts have separate series. These changes can reflect the mix of homes transacted, rather than appreciation of an individual home.
Sale PSF history
Median S$/sqft for single-unit strata sales, by sale type.
Resale
On a narrow screen, swipe the chart horizontally. Tap a point/bar or use the period controls for exact figures.
Filled points have at least five qualifying observations; hollow points have fewer than five. Lines join only adjacent filled points. Gaps are not estimated or filled with zeros. For five-year views, edge quarters marked * may contain fewer than three selected months. Sale activity bars include all selected sale records; PSF points use only qualifying single-unit strata sales.
Individual sale comparison
Sale price versus unit size
Oct 2025 – Sep 2026 · 9 qualifying sale records. The period, sale-type and unit-size filters above apply. Bedroom filters affect rentals only
Each plotted position represents one or more sales at that size and price. Tap a marker or select a record below for its contract month, floor range and PSF. Markers with a number contain multiple records; none are discarded.
Resale
Both axes start at zero and adjust to the selected sales. All qualifying sales, including extreme values, remain shown. Swipe horizontally on a narrow screen. Identical positions are grouped without moving the data points. Nearby markers can overlap; the selector and table retain every eligible record.
0 selected records excluded from this plot: only explicitly single-unit strata sales with positive numeric prices and areas qualify. Size positions and PSF use unrounded area; displayed sizes are rounded. Record numbers refer to this view and are not unit identifiers. No fitted price or valuation is inferred.
