The Santorini Tampines: Condo Guide to Prices, Units, Location and Who It Suits
The Santorini in Tampines is a 597-unit, 99-year condo by MCC Land, completed in 2017. Facts, sizes, recent psf, location, pros and cons, and how it compares with a new launch.
The Santorini Tampines is a mid-sized condo on Tampines Street 86, named after the Greek island and known for its pools and views towards the old Tampines Quarry. Developed by MCC Land and completed in 2017, it sits in a cluster of newer private projects on the western side of Tampines, close to Bedok Reservoir.
Here is what you need to know about The Santorini: the verified facts, unit sizes, recent prices, location, and who it suits. We also compare it with buying a new launch, using LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences) as the example.

Location and amenities
Tampines Street 86 is a quieter pocket of Tampines West, a short way from Tampines Avenue 1. EdgeProp’s amenity data shows:
- Parks: Bedok Reservoir Park is nearby, popular for jogging and the reservoir loop.
- Groceries: a supermarket at the neighbouring HDB blocks, roughly 170 m away.
- Primary schools within 1 km: Poi Ching School and St. Hilda’s Primary. Verify the 1 km/2 km bands on OneMap for your specific block.
- Malls: Tampines Mall, Century Square and Tampines 1 at Tampines town centre, a short bus or drive away.
The neighbouring condos include Q Bay Residences and The Tropica, which makes this stretch a useful place to compare age, lease and price side by side. For the wider town, see our Tampines condos guide.
Transport
EdgeProp lists Tampines West and Bedok Reservoir, both on the Downtown Line, as the nearest MRT stations. An earlier EdgeProp feature described the Tampines Street 86 condos as about a 15-minute bus ride from Tampines MRT, the East-West Line interchange. In short, most residents will use a bus for part of the trip, or drive. The PIE and TPE are both close.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Things to weigh |
|---|---|
| Relatively young (2017) with about 86 years of lease left | No MRT station within a very short walk |
| Resort-style pools; some units face the quarry area | Fewer shops within walking distance than town-centre condos |
| Lower psf than newer Tampines projects | Neighbouring condos of similar age compete for buyers |
| Close to Bedok Reservoir Park | Check facing: views and afternoon sun vary by block |
Who The Santorini suits
- Upgraders from Tampines or Bedok wanting a condo near familiar amenities at a lower psf. EdgeProp’s data shows about 68% of buyers gave an HDB address.
- Families who drive and value a quieter setting and park access over a station at the doorstep.
- Buyers who want to move in now rather than wait for a new build.
Resale condo or new launch?
A fair comparison is with a new launch that fixes The Santorini’s main gap: rail access. LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences) is a new 99-year private condo on the Hougang Central mixed-use GLS site, by CapitaLand Development, UOL and Kheng Leong. It has about 830 homes, a planned direct link to Hougang MRT (North-East Line, and a future Cross Island Line interchange), a new bus interchange and a mall of about 300,000 sq ft. Sales are expected in early 2027; UOL’s August 2026 results guide a 2H 2027 launch.
| The Santorini | LinkTown Residences | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Completed 2017, resale | New launch, completion expected 2030/2031 |
| Units | 597 | About 830 (reported) |
| Rail | Downtown Line stations, bus usually needed | Directly linked to Hougang MRT (NE14) |
| Avg psf | About S$1,498 (12 months to Sep 2026) | About S$2,500–2,600 (analyst estimate) |
At those figures, LinkTown would cost roughly 67–74% more per square foot, so the same budget buys much more space at The Santorini. For example, S$1.5 million buys about 1,000 sq ft there at the average psf, versus about 577–600 sq ft at LinkTown’s estimated range. The case for the new launch rests on a fresh lease, the MRT at the doorstep and a staged progressive payment schedule. LinkTown pricing is indicative; the developers have not released prices yet.
