Jansen House
Jansen House is a 21-unit, 999-year leasehold boutique condominium at 25 Jansen Road in District 19, developed by the Macly Group (through SPV Mequity GS Pte Ltd) on the former Jansen Mansions site acquired en bloc for S$19.1 million in June 2022. Designed by FARM Architects as a single five-storey block of 2- to 4-bedroom homes, it launched on 4 May 2024 at indicative pricing around S$2,000 psf, with EdgeProp caveats since clustering near S$2,047 psf. Its draw is the rare near-freehold tenure inside a quiet mixed-landed enclave between Kovan and Serangoon MRT; its constraint is scale, with minimal facilities and a price band that overlaps far larger 99-year projects nearby.

A 21-unit, 999-year boutique in a mixed-landed enclave.
Jansen House sits at the intersection of two things Singapore buyers prize and rarely get together: a 999-year leasehold tenure that behaves like freehold, and a location inside an established mixed-landed enclave rather than on a busy arterial road. The site is the former Jansen Mansions, a 12-unit walk-up that Macly Capital bought en bloc for S$19.1 million at a tender that closed on 28 June 2022, working out to roughly S$863 psf per plot ratio after the bonus balcony allowance. That land basis, low by Singapore standards, is what lets a 21-unit boutique price near S$2,000 psf and still pencil.
The trade-off is scale. At 21 units in a single five-storey block on a 1,541.5 sqm site with a plot ratio of just 1.4, the facilities are minimal, most communal amenities sit on the roof terrace, and there is no economy-of-scale clubhouse, lap pool deck or concierge that a 1,000-unit project offers. Buyers here are paying for tenure, location and exclusivity, not for amenity. The unit mix runs from compact 2-bedroom units around 721 sqft up to 4-bedroom layouts of roughly 1,238-1,335 sqft, which positions it as an own-stay or small-family product rather than an investor shoebox play.
Pricing is the area requiring the most honesty. Because boutique launches of this size do not trigger formal developer sales press releases, there is no clean launch-weekend X% sold headline. What exists instead is EdgeProp caveat data: transactions over the trailing 12 months show a 12-month average band of about S$2,003-2,081 psf (avg ~S$2,047; individual caveats from ~S$1,930), with one 721 sqft 2-bedroom recorded at S$2,121 psf in May 2024. That price band overlaps resale 99-year stock in the same district and sits above the same-street Residences @ Jansen, a 2008-completed 999-year project where current asking prices run around S$1,433-1,567 psf (and transacted caveats lower still, near S$1,300).
As of 2026, portal trackers show the project close to sold out, with on the order of two to four units remaining, though the trackers disagree on the exact figure. This reflects slow, steady absorption consistent with a 21-unit boutique rather than a blockbuster sell-out, and should be read as portal-reported rather than developer-confirmed.
Launched around S$2,000 psf — 999-year tenure.
Jansen House launched on 4 May 2024 (preview 27 April) at indicative pricing around S$2,000 psf, a level the EdgeProp caveat record broadly bears out: transactions over the trailing 12 months average about S$2,047 psf (roughly S$2,003-2,081 psf), with a 721 sqft 2-bedroom logged at S$2,121 psf in May 2024. Quantum sits around S$1.5 million for the smallest 2-bedroom units, roughly S$2.0-2.1 million for the 3-bedroom (approx 1,012-1,033 sqft), and into the S$2.5 million-plus range for 4-bedroom layouts. The honest comparison point is that this PSF overlaps far larger 99-year projects in D19 (Affinity at Serangoon resells around S$1,455-2,233 psf), so the premium a buyer pays here is effectively for the 999-year tenure and the boutique enclave setting, not for a price discount. Against the same-street, 2008-vintage Residences @ Jansen (current asking roughly S$1,433-1,567 psf, with transacted caveats nearer S$1,300), Jansen House commands a clear new-build, near-freehold premium.
| Project | District | Units | Tenure | Completion | PSF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| The Gazania | D19 (How Sun Drive, Bartley) | 250 | Freehold | 2022 | launch from approx S$1,900-2,200 psf (2019 launch) |

Launch references are developer/EdgeProp-reported. Comparables are Kovan/Serangoon boutique and recent launches; the 999-year tenure on the former Jansen Mansions site is the differentiator.
Boutique by design — 21 homes only.
Jansen House is a deliberately small block of 21 units on the former Jansen Mansions site, marketed on tenure and the quiet landed-enclave setting rather than facilities scale. Layout sizes follow the developer's launch mix.
| Type | Total units | Size (sqft) | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Bedroom | approx 3 | from approx 721 | from approx S$1.5m (approx S$2,000-2,120 psf) |
| 3-Bedroom | 9 | approx 1,012-1,033 | approx S$2.0-2.1m (approx S$2,000-2,050 psf) |
| 4-Bedroom | 9 (largest layouts) | approx 1,238-1,335 | approx S$2.5m+ (indicative) |

25 Jansen Road — a quiet pocket off Kovan.
Jansen House is tucked into a mixed-landed residential pocket off the Kovan/Serangoon Gardens stretch of District 19 (EdgeProp files the address under Hougang), an established neighbourhood rather than a fringe plot.
The everyday-amenity picture is genuinely strong for a boutique. Heartland Mall Kovan sits about 960m away, NEX about 1.11km, and the Serangoon Gardens food belt, including Chomp Chomp Food Centre, is a short hop. For families, Zhonghua Primary School is reported within about 670m, inside the 1km Primary 1 catchment band, with Yangzheng Primary, CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel and Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' in the wider 1-2km ring.
The location's defining tension is the same one that makes it desirable: it is quiet and low-rise, which means the building height and facility footprint are constrained, and the immediate surroundings are landed homes rather than a buzzy town centre. Buyers who want calm and tenure will value that; buyers who want a doorstep MRT and a large resort-style condo will find the trade visible.
Heartland Kovan with a landed-street calm.
Jansen House sits in a tranquil mixed-landed pocket a short walk from Kovan MRT and Heartland Mall, with Zhonghua Primary inside the 1km tier, the NEX mega-mall at Serangoon a stop away, and the Serangoon Gardens / Chomp Chomp food enclave close by. It is a small-scale, location-led boutique rather than a facilities play.

A tenure-led boutique for a specific buyer.
Jansen House is a scarcity-and-tenure buy, not a facilities one. Here's the honest split.
999-year tenure near Kovan transit.
The investment angle is narrow but real: a 999-year tenure on a small, near-fully-absorbed boutique can hold relative value better than 99-year stock as lease decay compounds elsewhere, and the Kovan/Serangoon rental catchment is deep. But with only 21 units, near-freehold pricing already baked in at ~S$2,000 psf, and a PSF that overlaps cheaper 99-year competitors, the entry price leaves limited room for capital upside; yield, not appreciation, is the more defensible thesis.
Right-sized owners wanting a quiet street.
This is fundamentally an owner-occupier product. A near-freehold home in a quiet, landed-flanked enclave with strong everyday amenities, a 1km-band primary school nearby, and 3- to 4-bedroom layouts suited to a small family, bought for the address and tenure, with low-density living as the explicit appeal.
Facilities-and-scale and full-freehold purists.
We would steer away buyers who need a doorstep MRT, full resort-style facilities, or a sub-S$1.5m entry quantum: the roof-terrace-only amenity set, source-reported (longer in practice) walk to Kovan, and overlap with cheaper 99-year stock make this a poor fit for amenity-led or value-led shoppers. Pure capital-appreciation investors should also note the boutique scale and the already-rich tenure premium cap the upside.
What the brochure won't tell you.
The headline appeal is the 999-year leasehold (effectively freehold) inside a quiet mixed-landed enclave, but you pay for it: PSF around S$2,000-2,050 overlaps far larger 99-year D19 projects that sell for less per square foot.
Facilities are minimal by design. With 21 units on a 1.4 plot ratio, most communal space is on the roof terrace, with no mega-condo clubhouse, lap pool deck or concierge.
There is no clean official sell-through figure. Boutique launches of this size do not trigger developer sales releases, and the portals themselves disagree: as of 2026 newlaunches.sg implies about 2 units left while PropertyGuru's listing page states 4 three-bedroom units left. Read it as portal-reported, near sold out, not developer-confirmed.
Resale benchmarking is thin: the most direct comparator, same-street Residences @ Jansen, is a 2008 999-year project with current asking around S$1,433-1,567 psf (and transacted caveats nearer S$1,300), so Jansen House's new-build premium is large and the exit pool is small.
Beware stale data online: newlaunches.sg tags the project 'completed 2026' and an old PLB figure cites a S$19.8m en-bloc price, but the project is U/C with est. TOP 2027 and the actual en-bloc price was S$19.1m.

What buyers keep asking.
- Who is the developer of Jansen House? +
- Jansen House is developed by the Macly Group, an established Singapore developer, through its project entity Mequity GS Pte Ltd. The same group's Macly Capital arm bought the former Jansen Mansions site en bloc, so 'Macly Group', 'Mequity GS' and 'Macly Capital' all point to the same developer stable.
- How many units does Jansen House have, and what is the layout? +
- Jansen House has 21 units, a boutique development, arranged in a single five-storey block at 25 Jansen Road. The unit mix runs from 2-bedroom (from about 721 sqft) through 3-bedroom (about 1,012-1,033 sqft) to 4-bedroom layouts (about 1,238-1,335 sqft).
- What is the tenure of Jansen House? +
- Jansen House is a 999-year leasehold, with the lease dating from 1 September 1876. A 999-year leasehold is treated by the market as effectively freehold, which is the project's headline selling point.
- When was Jansen House launched and when will it be completed? +
- Jansen House previewed on 27 April 2024 and launched on 4 May 2024. Its estimated TOP (completion) is 2027, with portal listings fielding a date of 28 July 2027. Note: one aggregator (newlaunches.sg) tags it 'completed 2026', which is incorrect; the project is still under construction.
- How much does Jansen House cost per square foot? +
- Jansen House launched around S$2,000 psf. EdgeProp caveat data over the trailing 12 months averages about S$2,047 psf (roughly S$2,003-2,081 psf), with a 721 sqft 2-bedroom recorded at S$2,121 psf in May 2024. Quantum runs from about S$1.5 million for the smallest 2-bedroom to S$2.5 million-plus for 4-bedroom units.
- How much did Macly pay for the Jansen Mansions site? +
- Macly Capital bought the former Jansen Mansions (a 12-unit walk-up) via collective sale for S$19.1 million, at a tender that closed on 28 June 2022, about S$863 psf per plot ratio after the bonus balcony allowance. A widely circulated S$19.8 million figure was an earlier reserve price, not the final sale price.
- Is Jansen House sold out? +
- As of 2026, portal trackers show Jansen House close to sold out, though they disagree on the exact balance: newlaunches.sg implies about two units left while PropertyGuru's listing page states four three-bedroom units remaining. Because boutique projects of this size do not issue official developer sell-through releases, this should be read as portal-reported rather than developer-confirmed.
- Which MRT stations are near Jansen House? +
- Jansen House is served by Kovan MRT (NE13), reported at about 960m or a three-minute drive, and Serangoon MRT (NE12/CC13, the North-East and Circle Line interchange anchoring NEX), about six minutes' drive away.
- What schools are near Jansen House? +
- Zhonghua Primary School is reported within about 670m of Jansen House, inside the 1km Primary 1 catchment band. Yangzheng Primary, CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel (about 1.4km) and Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' Primary (about 1.5km) sit in the wider 1-2km ring (distances per OneMap).
- What shopping and food options are near Jansen House? +
- Heartland Mall Kovan is about 960m from Jansen House, NEX at Serangoon about 1.11km, and the Serangoon Gardens food belt, including Chomp Chomp Food Centre, is a short drive away. The project leans on this neighbourhood amenity to offset its limited on-site facilities.
- Who designed Jansen House? +
- Jansen House was designed by FARM Architects, a Singapore practice. The 21-unit project sits on the 1,541.5 sqm former Jansen Mansions site with a plot ratio of 1.4, which constrains it to a low-rise five-storey block.
- How does Jansen House compare to other condos nearby? +
- The most direct comparator is the same-street Residences @ Jansen, a 999-year, 18-unit project completed in 2008 with current asking prices around S$1,433-1,567 psf (transacted caveats nearer S$1,300), so Jansen House commands a sizeable new-build, near-freehold premium. Against larger 99-year D19 projects like Affinity at Serangoon (resale roughly S$1,455-2,233 psf), Jansen House's ~S$2,000 psf reflects its tenure and boutique scale rather than a price advantage.
- What are the drawbacks of buying at Jansen House? +
- Jansen House's main drawbacks are limited facilities (a 21-unit block with most amenities on the roof terrace), a PSF that overlaps cheaper 99-year competitors, a thin resale-comparison pool, and a practical walk to Kovan MRT longer than the headline ~960m suggests. It suits tenure- and location-led owner-occupiers more than amenity- or value-led buyers.
Why it found its buyers.
A 21-unit 999-year block on a quiet landed street, launched May 2024 around S$2,000 psf.
Near sold out as of June 2026 — portal trackers show only a handful of units left, with the 4-bedrooms reported sold out and the remaining inventory in the 3-bedroom band (portal-reported, not developer-confirmed).
Ask about the last units →- 01Tenure scarcity carried the pitchA 999-year leasehold in District 19 is genuinely rare, and that, not amenity or price, is what absorbed the 21 units. The lesson for marketing the page is to lead with tenure and enclave quiet, the two things buyers could not get elsewhere at this quantum.
- 02Boutique scale meant slow-and-steady, not a sell-out storyWatch the framing: with no official developer sales release, there is no honest 'launch-weekend X% sold' headline to celebrate, and the portals even disagree on how many units are left. Absorption to near sold-out by 2026 reflects a small, patient buyer pool, so the page should describe steady take-up, not a blockbuster launch.
- 03Low land cost underwrote the priceThe S$19.1m / ~S$863 psf ppr land basis is the real reason a boutique can sell near S$2,000 psf and still work. That number anchors the value story better than any adjective.
- 04Owner-occupier demand, not investor flipping3- and 4-bedroom layouts and a near-freehold tenure point to own-stay families. The page should speak to permanence and address, and be candid that capital-appreciation upside is capped by the already-rich tenure premium.
- 05What to watch: stale and conflicting dataConflicting TOP tags (2026 vs 2027), the S$19.8m-vs-S$19.1m en-bloc figure, and asking-vs-transacted comp PSF all circulate online. The contradiction-killing FAQ answers are the page's highest-value SEO/AEO asset, so keep them front and centre.
