The Development
The Serra Residences stands at 7 Bassein Road, a freehold site in District 11 on the Novena ridge. The land runs to 4,774.8 sqm — about 51,396 sqft at a gross plot ratio of 2.8, and carries a single 28-storey tower of 133 homes over a two-storey carpark, a tennis court and a basement.
The tower is deliberately read as two addresses. Levels 4 to 16 hold the 2-bedroom with study, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes. Levels 18 to 28 — The Summit — hold the larger four- and five-bedroom homes and the two penthouses, each with a private lift from type D4 upward. A sky terrace on Level 17 separates them, and a second one sits on Level 3 above the arrival court.
The developer is Transurban Properties Pte Ltd, and the fact sheet's developer section is Far East Organization's — Singapore's largest private developer, with more than 780 developments and 55,000 private homes delivered since 1960.

The Address
Bassein Road sits between HealthCity Novena and the Newton fringe, about an eight-minute walk from Novena MRT on the North-South Line. The fact sheet also records a link walk through the NTF Centre for Innovation Healthcare, roughly nine minutes, open around the clock.
Within a few minutes on foot: the National Skin Centre, the National Neuroscience Institute, Ren Ci Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena and Tan Tock Seng. Square 2, Velocity @ Novena Square, United Square and Goldhill Plaza are the everyday shopping, and 2 Moulmein Road is under construction as a new lifestyle hub.
Hong Wen School and St. Joseph’s Institution Junior are within one kilometre — checked in both OneMap and MOE’s SchoolFinder, not taken from the brochure.
Common questions
133, in a single 28-storey tower on a 51,396 sqft freehold site at 7 Bassein Road. The tower is split in two: Levels 4 to 16 hold the 2-bedroom with study, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes, and Levels 18 to 28 — The Summit — hold the larger 4- and 5-bedroom homes and the two penthouses, with a sky terrace on Level 17 between them.
From 710 sqft for a 2-bedroom with study to 2,669 sqft for the larger penthouse, across thirteen types. The mix is 39 two-bedroom with study, 39 three-bedroom, 43 four-bedroom, 10 five-bedroom and 2 penthouses.
Yes. The Serra Residences is freehold, in District 11. Far East Organization's marketing calls it the first freehold harmonised new launch in the Core Central Region; that is the developer's claim, not an independent finding.
The developer's fact sheet gives an estimated TOP of Q4 2030, an expected vacant possession date of 1 September 2031 and expected legal completion of 1 September 2034.
7 Bassein Road, Singapore 309837, in District 11 beside HealthCity Novena. Novena station on the North-South Line is two walks rather than one: out of Akyab Road and through the NTF Centre for Innovation Healthcare into the TTSH hospital walkways, which run underground to the station, is 650 to 800m and 8 to 10 minutes; the surface route by Bassein Road, Jalan Tan Tock Seng and Sinaran Drive is 800 to 950m and 10 to 12 minutes. The link walk is open 24/7, but there is no sheltered footpath from the development to the underpass. The nearest bus stops are on Balestier Road, about 351m away, and Moulmein Road, about 442m.
Checked in both OneMap's School Query and MOE's SchoolFinder on 12 September 2026, which agree: Hong Wen School and St. Joseph's Institution Junior are within 1km, and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Bendemeer Primary, CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh), Farrer Park Primary, Kheng Cheng School, Pei Chun Public School and St Andrew's Junior are between 1km and 2km. Both ACS schools are on MOE's list of 12 schools that split Phase 2C into a within-2km and a beyond-2km track from the 2027 registration exercise, so from that exercise this address competes in the same track as homes inside 1km of them.
113 lots in all for 133 homes: 106 residential lots including 5 for EV charging, plus 5 accessible lots and 2 accessory lots, across the basement and the two-storey carpark. There are also 4 motorcycle lots and 23 bicycle lots, and each penthouse has one dedicated lot.
The developer's price guide of 6 October 2026 starts at $2.22 mil for a 710 sqft two-bedroom with study, and runs to $6.25 mil for the 1,755 sqft five-bedroom premium. By the foot it runs $3,120 to $3,560 psf, and both figures are the developer's own rather than this site's arithmetic. The split is by height: the seven types on Levels 4 to 16 start at $3,120 to $3,260 psf and the four in The Summit, on Levels 18 to 28, at $3,490 to $3,560 psf, with no overlap between them. The two penthouses are priced on application. Every figure is a starting price for the cheapest unit of that type, rounded by the guide to the nearest $10,000, and the guide carries no availability count - ask me for the unit-level list and what is left.
Six of the thirteen types face south towards the city — C1, C2, D1, D2, D4 and penthouse PH1 — and seven face north over the Central Catchment: B1, B1a, B2, C3, D3, E and PH2. The facing is per stack, so it is fixed by the unit you choose rather than by the floor.
Only dry-wall partitions. The tower is precast and cast in-situ with prefabricated bathroom units where they apply, so structural walls, the external facade walls and the bathroom walls cannot be hacked, altered or drilled into. Where a horizontal structural beam runs through a wall you want gone, the beam stays and the removal is partial. The drywall takes 12kg per fixing into the board and 25kg into a steel stud.
No. The eleven sheets published here are watermarked DRAFT by the developer, and areas are estimates subject to final survey. They are published as issued and will be replaced when the final set arrives. The two penthouse layouts have since been drawn and are not part of that set — ask me and I will take you through them.
From $2.22 mil, as at 6 October 2026. The guide carries prices but no availability count — ask me what is left before you plan around a stack.
