Quick answer
Amberwood at Holland is a 212-home private residential development at Holland Link with three-, four- and five-bedroom layouts. Recent launch reporting placed its preview on 11 September 2026 and bookings on 26 September 2026, with three-bedroom homes reported from approximately S$2.6 million.
For buyers, the useful comparison is not one headline price or price per square foot. Review the total purchase commitment, usable layout, financing comfort, present-day convenience, future precinct plans and credible alternatives at the same budget. Reconfirm the current authorised price list, unit availability and booking arrangements before making a decision.

Key takeaways
- Sim Lian identifies Amberwood as a 212-unit collection of three- to five-bedroom homes at Holland Link.
- Recent reporting cited indicative three-bedroom prices from approximately S$2.6 million. This is not a complete or permanent price list.
- URA confirms that the Holland Link residential site was sold on a 99-year lease for S$368,368,368.
- Buyers should compare total quantum and floor-plan usefulness, not headline price per square foot alone.
- The wider Holland Plain area will develop over time, so current convenience and future plans should be assessed separately.
Background
Amberwood at Holland is Sim Lian’s new private residential development at Holland Link. The developer’s project page describes 212 residences, all with three- to five-bedroom layouts, and highlights nearby greenery, schools and King Albert Park MRT station.
The development occupies a Government Land Sales site. URA’s tender-award record states that the 17,069 sq m residential site was awarded to Sim Lian Land and Sim Lian Development for S$368,368,368 on a 99-year lease. URA’s earlier release estimated a potential yield of about 230 homes; the developer’s marketed project contains 212.
The distinction matters. Government land estimates describe potential yield at the land-sale stage. Buyers should use the developer’s authorised project documents for the actual unit mix and specifications offered for sale.
Latest update
Business Times reported that Amberwood began previewing on 11 September 2026, with sales bookings scheduled for 26 September 2026. It reported three-bedroom homes from approximately S$2.6 million, four-bedroom homes from approximately S$3.2 million and five-bedroom homes from approximately S$4 million.
These are launch-stage indicative figures, not a complete or permanent price list. Buyers should obtain the current authorised price list, balance-unit chart and floor plans before comparing or committing. The sales schedule should also be reconfirmed because launch arrangements can change.
Who is affected
- Buyers seeking a larger new private home in District 10.
- Families comparing three- to five-bedroom layouts near established schools and green spaces.
- HDB or condominium owners planning an upgrade and coordinating an existing property, financing and purchase timeline.
- Buyers comparing a new launch with completed condominiums at a similar total budget.
Who is not affected
This launch does not change housing policy, loan rules, CPF rules or stamp-duty requirements for the wider market. It is also unlikely to suit buyers seeking a one- or two-bedroom home, a lower entry quantum or immediate occupation.
School proximity should not be treated as an assurance of admission. Verify the relevant distance, registration rules and current school information independently.
What remains unchanged
A project preview does not replace the normal buyer checks. Financing, applicable duties, legal documentation, CPF usage, payment timing and the suitability of the selected unit still require review.
A headline starting price does not describe every stack, floor, facing or layout. Prices and availability can change. Planned parks, transport improvements and surrounding developments may also take time to complete.
Five comparisons to make before booking
| Comparison | What to review | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Total quantum | Price, Buyer’s Stamp Duty, any applicable Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty, legal fees and household reserve | A lower price per square foot does not automatically mean a smaller or more comfortable commitment. |
| Layout | Room dimensions, circulation, storage, balcony area, kitchen and furniture placement | Bedroom count alone does not show how efficiently the home supports daily family use. |
| Financing | Loan assessment, CPF usage, cash timing and progressive payments | The payment sequence must work alongside the existing-home and household cash-flow plan. |
| Location | Actual walking routes, road crossings, transport, amenities and peak-hour conditions | Present-day convenience should be tested separately from future plans. |
| Alternatives | Other new launches and resale homes at a similar total budget | Tenure, usable area, completion timing and renovation needs can materially change the comparison. |
Planning considerations
1. Compare total quantum before price per square foot
Calculate the purchase price together with Buyer’s Stamp Duty, any applicable Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty, legal fees, loan assumptions, CPF usage and a reasonable household reserve. Use the current authorised price list rather than relying on one advertised starting unit. The Buyer’s Stamp Duty guide and TDSR affordability guide are useful starting points.
2. Test whether the larger layout is genuinely useful
Compare living and dining width, bedroom dimensions, storage, household-shelter placement, kitchen ventilation, balcony area, circulation and privacy. The new-launch floor-plan guide provides a structured comparison method.
3. Separate current convenience from future plans
Review actual walking routes, road crossings, peak-hour traffic, daily amenities and the timing of future works. A developing precinct may gain facilities over time while also experiencing construction activity.
4. Compare credible alternatives at the same budget
At a reported starting quantum above S$2.5 million, the comparison set may include other new launches, completed condominiums and larger resale homes. Compare tenure, usable internal area, maintenance obligations, renovation needs and completion timing. Use the New Launch hub and new-launch versus resale guide to frame the shortlist.
5. Plan the payment and existing-home timeline
An upgrader should coordinate the sale, option, loan, CPF refund and any temporary-housing position before booking. A progressive-payment schedule spreads construction payments but does not make the total commitment smaller. Review the progressive-payment guide before deciding how the purchase fits household cash flow.
6. Recheck documents on the decision date
Inspect the current price list, balance-unit chart, floor plan, site plan, specifications, payment schedule and prescribed sale documents. Ask which statements are contractual and which are illustrations or future plans. Obtain appropriate legal, financial or technical advice when a material point is unclear.
