The Green Collection
The Green Collection is a 20-unit enclave of strata-landed villas on Cove Drive in Sentosa Cove (D4), built by Satinder Garcha's Elevation Developments on a 71,589 sq ft parcel it won in 2007 for S$78.68 million ($1,099 psf per plot ratio). Unusually, the villas were completed in 2013 but never sold; they were leased out for a decade before being offered to buyers for the first time in 2024, with a phase-one launch of 10 vacant units on 29 July 2024 priced from around S$1,190 psf (villas from about S$7.25 million). It is the only strata-landed scheme in Sentosa Cove, with a 200m frontage onto the Tanjong Golf Course.

Sentosa Cove's only strata-landed scheme, sold a decade after it was built.
The Green Collection is an unusual proposition in the Singapore market: a completed, decade-old development sold new for the first time. Elevation Developments, the boutique arm of Satinder Garcha's Garcha Group, won the 71,589 sq ft Cove Drive parcel in a 2007 expressions-of-interest exercise with a S$78.68 million offer; S$1,099 per square foot per plot ratio, drawing eight bids in all and, per 2007 reporting, a record price for Sentosa strata-landed land that surpassed the prior Sandy Island en-bloc benchmark by about 42.5%.
The villas were built and TOPed in 2013; winning the housing category at the Singapore Institute of Architects Awards for Rene Tan's RT+Q Architects, with interiors by Kelly Hoppen and landscaping by Japanese monk-designer Shunmyo Masuno; but were then held and leased rather than sold. That changed in 2024: four villas were soft-released in May to test demand, followed by a formal phase-one launch of 10 vacant units on 29 July 2024, with PropNex, ERA and Huttons Asia jointly marketing from around S$1,190 psf, or roughly S$7.25 million a villa.
What makes the scheme genuinely distinctive is its strata-landed format; described by 2007 reporting as the only one in Sentosa Cove; giving owners a landed villa (two storeys plus basement and attic, five en-suite bedrooms, ~5,600-7,200 sq ft) with the security and shared facilities of a strata development, on a site with 200m of direct Tanjong Golf Course frontage. The honest counterweight is timing and structure: it is a 99-year leasehold dating from 2007 (around 81 years remaining in 2026 and decaying), it sits in a Sentosa Cove resale market that has corrected hard; landed prices down about 13.1% from their 2023 peak to ~S$1,842 psf in 2025 and roughly two-thirds of 2025 resales transacting at a loss per ERA/URA data reported by The Straits Times; and foreign buyers face 60% ABSD plus Singapore Land Authority approval. Current sell-through of the 20 villas has not been publicly disclosed, so the scheme is best read as actively-marketed completed inventory, not a sold-out trophy.
Released from ~S$1,190 psf — villas from ~S$7.25m.
The headline "from S$1,190 psf" is a floor, not an average. At launch the developer guided villas from about S$7.25 million (Type A), S$7.5 million (Type B) and S$7.8 million (Type C, which adds a private lap pool). Two villas later offered by private treaty at 28 and 60 Cove Drive; both at S$7.25 million; computed to about S$1,140 and S$1,285 psf respectively (6,361 sq ft and 5,640 sq ft strata area), and listing PSF on the portals spanned roughly S$1,106 to S$1,418 in 2025; so the realistic band is the low-to-mid S$1,000s per square foot, with the figure swinging on unit size and view.
In Sentosa Cove terms that PSF is comparatively low, because strata area is large and the comparison set is small. Detached bungalows nearby (e.g. Coral Island's 21 Ho Bee Land villas, completed 2008) have been listed in the region of S$1,400-2,800 psf on the portals (varying sharply with land size and basis); a listing estimate rather than a whitelist-corroborated figure; while the enclave's landed median sat near S$1,842 psf in 2025 per URA figures cited by ERA and The Straits Times. The Green Collection's apparent discount reflects its strata-landed (not freehold-feel detached) format, its 99-year leasehold with a shrinking tail, and a soft market; not a mispricing to be arbitraged.

Cove Drive — fronting the Sentosa Golf Club.
The villas sit on Cove Drive in Sentosa Cove, with a 200m boundary onto the Tanjong Golf Course. Sentosa Cove is the only enclave in Singapore where foreigners can buy landed homes; subject to Singapore Land Authority approval, an owner-occupation condition and a one-restricted-property limit; which has historically defined the buyer pool here.
The trade-off is access. There is no MRT within walking distance: HarbourFront (NE1/CC29) is roughly 3 km away in straight-line terms, and entry to the Cove is by car, the Sentosa Express from VivoCity, or shuttle rather than a station at the doorstep. Day-to-day retail is the small Quayside Isle/Cove waterfront cluster a few hundred metres away; mainland malls (VivoCity, HarbourFront Centre) are a ~3 km hop across the gateway.
For the right buyer that isolation is the point; gated, low-density, golf-fronting privacy. For anyone weighing convenience or schooling catchments, Sentosa Cove sits outside the mainland's MRT and P1-catchment logic entirely.
Golf, marina and beach — and a bridge to the mainland.
Sentosa Cove is a gated resort enclave, not a transit-served suburb: there is no MRT on the island (HarbourFront is roughly 3km away across the causeway), and the amenity story is the Tanjong Course frontage, the ONE15 marina and Quayside Isle dining, and the Sentosa beaches. Distances here are island-context approximations.

A trophy lease, not a yield play.
The Green Collection is a rare-asset purchase with a real lease-decay caveat. Here's the honest read.
Scarcity: the island's only strata-landed homes.
The investor case is narrow and should be framed honestly. Sentosa Cove's owner-occupation rule for foreign landed buyers effectively rules out a pure rental-yield play, and the enclave has been a loss-making market; roughly two-thirds of 2025 resales transacted below purchase price per ERA, with landed prices down ~13.1% from 2023. The contrarian angle is buying a corrected, scarce asset (described as the only strata-landed scheme in the Cove) at low-S$1,000s psf versus S$1,800+ enclave landed medians; but the 99-year lease started in 2007 and is decaying, so this is a value-bet on a thin, illiquid trophy segment, not a yield or capital-growth certainty.
Resort living with a private-garden footprint.
This is fundamentally an owner-occupier product, and the regime reinforces that: foreign buyers must occupy and may hold only one restricted property. For a buyer who wants a large (5,600-7,200 sq ft), low-maintenance landed villa with strata security, golf frontage and marquee design (RT+Q, Kelly Hoppen, Shunmyo Masuno); and who values privacy over MRT-and-mall convenience; the proposition is coherent. The completed, move-in-ready nature removes construction risk entirely.
Lease-sensitive and yield-first buyers.
We would steer you away if you need rental income (foreign owner-occupation rules and a soft leasing market undercut yield), if lease decay matters to you (99 years from 2007, ~81 left and counting), if you want capital-growth confidence (Sentosa Cove is in a multi-year correction with most resales loss-making), or if MRT access and school catchments are decision drivers; Sentosa Cove sits outside both. The ABSD load for foreigners (60%, effective Apr 2023) plus SLA approval is also a material cost that can exceed half the purchase price.
What the brochure won't tell you.
This is a COMPLETED 2013 development sold new for the first time in 2024; there is no construction-upside or new-build pipeline story; what you see is what exists, which removes build risk but also removes the 'buy early, ride the launch' dynamic.
The lease is 99 years from 2007, so roughly 81 years remain as of 2026 and counting down (2024 coverage cited ~82 years); unlike a fresh launch, the clock has already been running for nearly two decades, which weighs on financing and resale.
Sentosa Cove is in a genuine correction: URA/ERA data cited by The Straits Times show enclave landed prices down about 13.1% from their 2023 peak to ~S$1,842 psf in 2025, with roughly 66% of 2025 resales loss-making; the opposite of the mainland CCR's mild uptrend.
Foreign buyers face a 60% ABSD (effective 27 Apr 2023) and Singapore Land Authority approval, plus an owner-occupation condition and a one-property limit in the enclave; this is the single biggest filter on the buyer pool and effectively kills a rental-investment thesis.
There is no MRT within walking distance (HarbourFront is ~3 km away) and no MOE primary-school catchment; access is by car, shuttle or the Sentosa Express, so the location trades convenience for gated privacy.
Current sell-through of the 20 villas is not publicly disclosed by any independent outlet; listings persisted into 2025; so this should be presented as actively-marketed completed inventory, not as a sold-out or near-sold-out launch.

What buyers keep asking.
- What is The Green Collection in Sentosa Cove? +
- The Green Collection is a 20-unit enclave of strata-landed villas on Cove Drive in Sentosa Cove (District 4), developed by Elevation Developments, the boutique arm of Satinder Garcha's Garcha Group. It is described by 2007 reporting as the only strata-landed housing scheme in Sentosa Cove and fronts the Tanjong Golf Course.
- Who is the developer of The Green Collection? +
- The Green Collection was developed by Elevation Developments, part of Satinder Garcha's Garcha Group. Elevation won the 71,589 sq ft Cove Drive site in a 2007 tender for S$78.68 million, drawing eight bids.
- How many units does The Green Collection have? +
- The Green Collection has 20 strata-titled villas in total. A phase-one launch on 29 July 2024 offered 10 vacant units (inclusive of four soft-released in May 2024); the remaining villas had been leased out since completion.
- When was The Green Collection built? +
- The Green Collection was completed (TOPed) in 2013 and won the housing category at the Singapore Institute of Architects Awards that year. Unusually, the villas were leased for about a decade and only offered for sale for the first time in 2024; it is a completed development, not a new build.
- How much do villas at The Green Collection cost? +
- At its July 2024 launch, The Green Collection was guided from about S$1,190 psf, with villas starting around S$7.25 million. 'From S$1,190 psf' is a floor figure; listing PSF on the portals spanned roughly S$1,106 to S$1,418 in 2025.
- What is the tenure of The Green Collection? +
- The Green Collection is a 99-year leasehold development with the lease dating from 2007, leaving roughly 81 years as of 2026. The Yahoo SG/EdgeProp private-treaty reporting cited about 82 years remaining at the time of its 2024 coverage.
- How big are the villas at The Green Collection? +
- Villas at The Green Collection are two storeys plus a basement and attic, with five en-suite bedrooms, ranging roughly from 5,630 to 7,169 sq ft of strata area across Types A, B and C. Type C villas include a private lap pool.
- Who designed The Green Collection? +
- The Green Collection was designed by architect Rene Tan of RT+Q Architects, with interiors by British designer Kelly Hoppen and landscaping by Japanese monk and garden designer Shunmyo Masuno. The design won the housing category at the 2013 Singapore Institute of Architects Awards.
- Can foreigners buy at The Green Collection? +
- Yes; Sentosa Cove is the only enclave where foreigners may buy landed homes, but it requires Singapore Land Authority approval, carries an owner-occupation condition (it cannot be rented out), limits a foreigner to one restricted property, and attracts 60% ABSD (effective 27 April 2023) on top of buyer's stamp duty.
- Is The Green Collection sold out? +
- As of the latest available reporting, the current sell-through of The Green Collection's 20 villas has not been publicly disclosed by independent outlets, and listings continued into 2025. It is best described as actively-marketed completed inventory rather than sold out.
- How far is The Green Collection from an MRT station? +
- The Green Collection has no MRT within walking distance. The nearest station, HarbourFront (NE1/CC29), is roughly 3 km away in straight-line terms; access to Sentosa Cove is by car, shuttle or the Sentosa Express from VivoCity.
- Why is The Green Collection's PSF lower than other Sentosa Cove bungalows? +
- The Green Collection's low-S$1,000s psf reflects its large strata floor areas, its strata-landed (rather than detached freehold-feel) format, a 99-year leasehold with a shrinking tail, and a soft Sentosa Cove market; detached comparables like Coral Island have appeared on the portals around S$1,400-2,800 psf (varying sharply with land size and basis), but they are larger, standalone bungalows.
- What is the state of the Sentosa Cove property market? +
- Sentosa Cove has been in a multi-year correction: per URA figures cited by ERA and The Straits Times, enclave landed prices fell about 13.1% from a 2023 peak to roughly S$1,842 psf in 2025, and around 66% of 2025 resales were loss-making; diverging from the mainland CCR's mild uptrend. (The widely-quoted 18.7% decline refers to non-landed condos, not landed.)
Why these villas stand apart.
Twenty golf-fronting strata bungalows, completed 2013, brought to market for the first time in 2024.
Completed product as of June 2026 — released in phases from 2024 from ~S$1,190 psf; no developer sell-through figure published since the July 2024 launch.
Enquire on the villas →- 01Scarcity is real, not marketingThe Green Collection is described by 2007 reporting (lushhomemedia) and 2024 launch coverage as the only strata-landed scheme in Sentosa Cove, on a parcel uniquely zoned in 2007 to allow strata terrace/semi-D/detached formats. That scarcity claim is two-source corroborated; a sound editorial hook, distinct from generic 'exclusive' claims.
- 02Watch the sell-through, don't assume itNo independent outlet has published how many of the 20 villas have sold; listings persisted into 2025. Frame the page around 'completed inventory still being marketed' and update only when a corroborated take-up figure appears; do not imply a sold-out launch.
- 03Lead with the lease and the correctionThe honest differentiators here are a 99-year lease from 2007 (~81 years left) and a Sentosa Cove market with ~66% loss-making resales in 2025. A reference page that states these plainly earns trust and answers the questions buyers actually search.
- 04Design pedigree is the upside storyRT+Q (Rene Tan), Kelly Hoppen interiors, Shunmyo Masuno landscaping and the 2013 SIA housing award are concrete, named, independently-corroborated credentials (confirmed via ArchDaily and EdgeProp); the strongest positive differentiators, and far more defensible than PSF-based 'value' claims in a falling market.
- 05Foreigner rules are the buyer filterSentosa Cove's foreigner-landed exception (with SLA approval, owner-occupation, one-property limit and 60% ABSD) defines who can even buy. Surfacing this clearly is both useful and SEO-valuable, since it's a top search intent for this address.
