Nestled along Belgravia Drive, off Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 in District 28, is Belgravia Green. The mixed-landed strata development occupies a land area of just under 137,000 sq ft with a total of 81 homes. Of these, 71 units are terraced houses, while the remainder are semi-detached properties.
The project was completed last year and residents started moving in after it received its temporary occupation permit in November. Following its launch in November 2018, the project was fully sold within two years, based on caveats lodged. Units were taken up at an average price of $884 psf on the strata area.

More recently, Belgravia Green scored another milestone at the EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards (EPEA) 2023 on Oct 6, when it was awarded the Top Landed Development for the completed projects category.

Belgravia Green is a project by Fairview Developments, a joint venture between the Teo family-controlled property developer Tong Eng Group, and Yeap Holdings, the investment company of the Yeap family.
Homes in Belgravia Green consist of semi-detached houses of 3,757 to 4,004 sq ft. There are also 39 intermediate terraced houses of 3,423 to 3,466 sq ft, and 32 corner terraces of 3,294 to 3,638 sq ft.
The developer worked with Laud Architects to create a modern design concept for Belgravia Green that would provide a distinct yet cohesive look. Homes at the project each feature an asymmetrical façade inspired by an origami twist. A three-dimensional fin design frames the upper floors, offering the house protection from the elements as well as privacy. On the ground floor, each house has a private enclosed space demarcated by warm-toned aluminium frames.

All residences in Belgravia Green are three-storey properties that come with a basement as well as a roof terrace. There are five bedrooms in each home, four of which are en suite. The master bedroom is also large enough to accommodate a walk-in wardrobe. Most houses are equipped with a home lift, while every basement is fitted with a carpark for two cars.
For the developer, it was important to provide a spacious and functional layout that optimised space. Common areas such as the living, dining and kitchen areas are all located on the ground floor, with a powder room also available for guests. The living area has a spacious, regular layout overlooking the private enclosed space, which acts as an extension of the area. Floor-to-ceiling windows are used in each room to let in natural light and provide a sense of expansiveness, while the open roof terrace provides flexible additional space for residents.
All kitchens are fitted with premium appliances from De Dietrich and Samsung. These include a fridge, a cooker hob, a conventional oven and microwave, and a washer. Bathroom fittings are supplied by Hansgrohe and Kohler.

As Belgravia Green is a strata landed development, residents enjoy the dual advantage of experiencing landed living while having access to condo-like facilities. The development is a fully gated residence with 24-hour security that also comes with shared amenities.
Facilities at Belgravia Green were designed to provide communal spaces that encourage interaction and a sense of community among families and neighbours. A large infinity swimming pool, positioned near the main entrance of the development, serves as a focal point for residents. Here, residents can also enjoy a jacuzzi, water cascade features and a playground. Other amenities include a clubhouse, gym and barbecue deck.
Generous landscaping was utilised to create additional pockets for retreat and recreation throughout the estate. Between the rows of housing, water features and gardens line the pathways. Next to the playground, a 5m-tall tree sculpture, dubbed the “Love Tree”, provides a distinct landmark within the development. At night, ambient lighting illuminates the walking paths and landscape features, offering a sense of warmth and cosiness.

Belgravia Green is one of three projects in Fairview Development’s Belgravia collection, the other two being the 118-unit Belgravia Villas and the 107-unit Belgravia Ace. The collection forms part of a wider cluster of landed projects that occupy a 40-acre (over 1.74 million sq ft) tract of land in the Seletar Hills estate. Fairview Developments had purchased the freehold land parcel, which stretches from Seletar Terrace to Nim Road, in the early 1970s.
Since then, Fairview Developments has developed the land in phases. The earlier phases were conventional landed housing projects comprising predominantly terraced houses and some semi-detached houses. These include the 79-unit Stratton Park, completed in 1992; the 82-unit Belgravia Park, completed in 1995; and the 82-unit Stratton Green, completed in 2003.
The Belgravia series is a collection of strata-landed developments at Belgravia Drive. Belgravia Villas was the first project to launch under the collection. Situated on a sprawling, 400,000 sq ft site, it comprises 100 terraced and 18 semi-detached properties. The fully-sold project was completed in 2018.
Belgravia Green, located across the road from Belgravia Villas, was the second project to launch in November 2018.
Belgravia Ace, the last phase in the collection, was launched in January 2022. Occupying a freehold site measuring 290,520 sq ft at the very end of Belgravia Drive, it comprises 104 semi-detached and three terraced properties. To date, 82 homes (79%) at Belgravia Ace have been sold at an average price of $1,082 psf, based on caveats lodged as of Sept 25. The project will be completed by 2028.

The Belgravia collection is nestled within the Seletar Hills estate, a quiet residential enclave comprising mainly landed properties. Over the last two decades, the area has steadily grown in popularity as more amenities became available in the surrounding areas. These include the completed malls such as Compass One at Sengkang Square in 2002; Greenwich V in 2012; and Seletar Mall in 2014.
The area is also popular among cyclists and nature lovers, given its proximity to green spaces like Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Lower Seletar Reservoir. Residents in Seletar Hills also have access via the Park Connector Network to scenic recreational routes in the area, such as the 26km North Eastern Riverine Loop that links Buangkok, Sengkang and Punggol.

The Seletar area has also been bolstered by the development of the 320ha Seletar Aerospace Park. Located adjacent to Seletar Airport, the business park is home to several aerospace-related enterprises and MNCs such as Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney. In addition, a section of the park that houses a collection of conserved colonial houses has been turned into a new lifestyle enclave. Called The Oval, it is home to a number of restaurants and cafés.
