Introducing Lumina Grand EC, a new executive condominium located in the northwest of Singapore, at the corner of Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, right across from the new town of Tengah.
Residents will enjoy the amenities of the established Bukit Batok HDB estate and benefit from the new features being developed in Tengah.
The name “Lumina” comes from the Latin word “Lumen,” meaning bright, reflecting its motto “Live Greener, Live Brighter.” This luxury EC is designed with advanced green and smart features.
The developer, CDL Zenith Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of City Developments Limited (CDL), plans to start Preview E-Applications and Sales in January 2024.
CDL is well-known for its quality projects, including several executive condos. Their last project, Copen Grand EC in Tengah, launched in October 2022 and sold out within a month.
This project is located in Bukit Batok HDB town, near its northwest border, very close to the new Tengah estate across Bukit Batok Road.
While the location isn’t very central or convenient, with no MRT stations or large shopping malls within walking distance, there are still nearby amenities. Just across Bukit Batok Road, at the Parc Residences precinct, there is a retail area with shops and food outlets. Another similar area is at the Plantation Village precinct. Additionally, the nearby Le Quest neighborhood mall has a Fairprice supermarket, a food court, shops, and clinics.
If you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, you can reach both Tengah Plantation and Tengah Park MRT stations on the Jurong Region Line on foot. Tengah Plantation station is a bit closer, about a 12 or 13-minute walk in a straight line.
To get there, walk through Parc Residences and follow the park connector that leads to the station. It’s a pleasant walk, with some parts sheltered and others offering greenery.
Alternatively, you can take a short bus ride to Bukit Gombak station on the North-South MRT Line.
One advantage of this location is its easy access to parks and the park connector network. Bukit Batok Hillside Park is just a five-minute walk east of the site. The park connector network also runs right across Bukit Batok Road. The Tengah estate is filled with green corridors, true to its “forest town” name.
A major draw for families with young children is the new Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) on Tengah Park Avenue, within a 1KM radius. This co-ed school is set to open around 2030, shortly after Lumina Grand is completed.
In addition to the new Tengah estate to the northwest, Bukit Batok also borders the Jurong Lake District to the southwest. Both are growing and developing areas.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) plans to make Tengah an innovative, sustainable “smart” forest town. It will be Singapore’s newest and most advanced estate, integrating native greenery into its design.
A 5km long, 100m wide forest corridor will run through Tengah, creating a biodiverse rainforest habitat with walking trails throughout the community. This will allow residents to enjoy nature and greenery up close.
Tengah is Singapore’s 24th HDB town, announced by the Ministry of National Development (MND) in 2016. Residents of Lumina Grand will benefit from the many new amenities and features this estate will offer.
The Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the nearby Jurong Innovation District (JID) have even more ambitious plans. URA’s vision for JLD is to become Singapore’s largest business hub outside the city center, creating a vibrant environment for work, play, living, and learning, along with tourism attractions in a lakeside park setting.
The Jurong Innovation District (JID) will be an advanced industrial, innovation, and manufacturing hub spanning 600 hectares. It is expected to create 95,000 jobs, increasing demand for housing and manpower.
Growing areas like these often offer better potential for capital appreciation. The Lumina Grand executive condo is well-positioned to benefit from this growth.

Lumina Grand EC Site Plan
The Lumina Grand site is a mid-sized L-shaped land parcel covering 178,937 square feet. It’s located at the corner of Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, positioned at a slight angle.
The site is mainly surrounded by other high-rise developments, both existing and planned, such as the new HDB flats at West Scape to its northeast.
Across the roads to the northwest and southwest are also HDB areas. Some, like West Edge, are already completed. Others, like Parc Residences, are still under construction, while the plot to the northwest is currently vacant.
One benefit of these high-rises is that they might block some of the afternoon sun from the west. The roads between the buildings also provide space and a bit of privacy.
On the southeast side, there is another executive condominium called Altura, which was launched for sale in August 2023. By September, Altura had sold 60% of its units, which is a positive sign for the upcoming launch of Lumina Grand EC.
The only side that offers a long-term open view is to the south, overlooking a school site across Avenue 5.

Lumina Grand Pricing Background
Read MoreCity Developments (CDL) acquired the site for SGD $336.068 million. The site measures 178,937 square feet with a plot ratio of 3, resulting in a maximum Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 536,812 square feet. This makes the land purchase price approximately $626 per square foot per plot ratio (PSF PPR).
After including construction, development, financing, and overhead costs, the breakeven price could be slightly above $1,200 PSF. Therefore, CDL might price the units close to Altura’s pricing, which launched at an average of $1,433 PSF.
Compared to the average private condominium launch prices of around $2,000 PSF and above, this represents a discount of about 25%. However, the next round of EC pricing could be even higher.
On 11 September 2023, Hoi Hup Sunway Developments won the Plantation Close EC site in Tengah with a record land rate of $703 PSF PPR. Analysts predict that this could lead to launch prices of around $1,500 PSF for that development.

Location
The project is situated in Bukit Batok, near the boundary with the new Tengah town, allowing residents to enjoy amenities from both areas.
It is also just north of the Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the Jurong Innovation District (JID).
Schools
Lumina Grand is well-positioned for families with young children, being within 1 KM of several primary schools, including St. Anthony’s Primary School.
The most notable school is Anglo-Chinese (Primary) School, which will move to Tengah Park Avenue around 2030. This new location is also within 1 KM of Lumina Grand and will become co-ed, making it easier for siblings to attend. Other nearby educational institutions include Dulwich College and Millennia Institute.
Shops, Supermarkets, F&B, Banks
The Lumina Grand EC is not within walking distance to any major shopping centers. However, like most HDB estates, there are neighborhood shops and small shopping centers nearby.
Le Quest neighborhood mall is about 500m, or a 7-minute walk away, offering various shops and services, a food court, other F&B outlets, a Fairprice supermarket, and clinics. Across Bukit Batok Road, you can find HDB neighborhood F&B and retail options at Parc Residences and Plantation Village precincts.
Nearest MRT Station
The location is not very close to an MRT station. If you don’t mind a longer but pleasant walk, Tengah Plantation station on the Jurong Region Line is about 12 to 13 minutes away, partly through a park connector.
Alternatively, you can take a bus to the Bukit Gombak MRT station on the North-South line.
Parks & Leisure Options
The area offers quick access to park connectors and parks. Bukit Batok Hillside Park is within a 5-minute walk. Across Bukit Batok Road is Tengah, known as the “forest town” due to its many green corridors and park connectors. One of these connectors runs just opposite the site.
With enhanced green spaces, waterways, and new parks, residents can enjoy nature up close. These green and blue networks will also boost biodiversity in the area.
Accessibility
Lumina Grand has quick access to the island-wide expressway network. The nearest exit to the PIE (Pan-Island Expressway) is less than 3 KM down Bukit Batok Road. Alternatively, a 5 KM drive up Bukit Batok Road and via Bricklands Road leads to the Kranji Expressway.
