How The Serra Residences launch went
Sales reached every part of the tower. Over the launch weekend, buyers took 9 two-bedroom + study homes, 2 three-bedroom, 7 four-bedroom and 6 premium four- and five-bedroom homes, and one 2,669 sq ft penthouse. About 80% were owner-occupiers.
That leaves most of the first release still open, so you can still choose by floor and facing rather than take what's left. Twenty more homes were not in the first release.

See the full The Serra Residences price listHow you pay for The Serra Residences
The Serra Residences is still being built, so you don't pay the whole price at once. You pay 5% in cash to book, 15% when you sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the rest in stages as the building goes up. The bank loan is drawn down the same way, so the monthly instalments start small and rise.

The Serra Residences location: Bassein Road, Novena
The tower sits on Bassein Road, in a quiet pocket of low-rise apartments bounded by Akyab Road and Tan Tock Seng Link. Beyond the link road is HealthCity Novena, and the MRT and malls are a short walk away.
Getting around
Novena MRT on the North-South Line is the nearest station. Newton is one stop away and Orchard two, and Raffles Place is on the same line. The walking time will be stated once measured. By car, Orchard Road is a short drive.
Schools in the area
St. Joseph's Institution Junior on Essex Road is within 1 km, and Hong Wen School and the Anglo-Chinese Schools at Barker Road are within 1 to 2 km. Distances depend on the final address, and Primary 1 priority depends on each home's registered address and MOE's rules; no purchase guarantees a place.
Food and daily needs
Square 2, Velocity@Novena Square and United Square cluster around the station, and Shaw Plaza on Balestier Road has a FairPrice and a cinema. Balestier Road has Loy Kee Best Chicken Rice, serving since 1953, and Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah, since 1948, with Whampoa and Newton Food Centre close by for hawker dinners.
What's planned for the area
- 2 Moulmein Road: dining, sport, wellness and arts among 44 conservation buildings, targeted to open in Q1 2027
- HealthCity Novena's next phase, with a new Tan Tock Seng medical tower, running beyond 2030
Good to know
The site is next to a hospital precinct. If quiet matters to you, ask about the stacks facing away from Tan Tock Seng Link. Views vary by stack and floor and are not guaranteed.
Who this location suits
City-fringe families who want to stay near Novena and Thomson, healthcare professionals who want to walk to work, and commuters who want Orchard and the city a few stops away.

More about The Serra Residences
About The Serra Residences
Freehold in Novena. A 50 m lap pool and full-sized tennis court for 133 homes. A choice of 2-bedroom + study homes through to five-bedroom homes and penthouses, with a separate collection of larger residences in The Summit. The Serra Residences brings a substantial range of facilities to a single residential tower at 7 Bassein Road. Here is why this launch is worth a close look.
What you're buying
The Serra Residences is a freehold private condominium by Transurban Properties Pte. Ltd., part of Far East Organization, in District 11. The Serra Residences occupies 51,396 sq ft and rises 28 storeys. Sales launched on 16 October 2026, following the public preview from 2 October 2026.
Launch prices start from S$2.22 million for a 710 sq ft 2-bedroom + study. That puts an actual home and floor area behind the entry price: two bedrooms, a study and freehold tenure in Novena. For couples who want a separate study without moving into a larger family layout, this is the starting point in the range.
Location
Bassein Road, beside HealthCity Novena
The Serra Residences is bounded by Bassein Road, Akyab Road and Tan Tock Seng Link, next to HealthCity Novena. Bassein Road is the residential address; the Novena medical precinct, shopping cluster and Balestier food destinations give the wider neighbourhood its substance. Healthcare, retail and food are established parts of the location story.
About 522 m from Novena MRT
The Serra Residences is about 522 m from Novena MRT on the North-South Line. Square 2 is linked to Novena MRT and Velocity@Novena Square sits above Novena MRT. Shopping and the train connection come together at the same destination, bringing more than a station alone to the address.
Newton MRT is one stop away, with the Downtown Line interchange and Newton Food Centre in the surrounding area. Orchard MRT is two stops from Novena MRT. Raffles Place and Marina Bay are on the same North-South Line, giving The Serra Residences a direct rail connection to those city destinations. Newton adds a second line without a long chain of interchanges.
Square 2, Velocity@Novena Square and United Square
Square 2, Novena Square, United Square, Revenue House and Goldhill Plaza are nearby. For The Serra Residences, the shopping offer extends across several named destinations rather than resting on a single mall. Square 2 and Velocity@Novena Square anchor the station end of that cluster, while United Square and Goldhill Plaza add further destinations around Novena.
FairPrice at Shaw Plaza
FairPrice at Shaw Plaza is about 436 m from The Serra Residences. A named supermarket at a stated distance gives the Bassein Road address a practical grocery connection alongside the Novena shopping centres. The supermarket is a distinct part of the location offer, with Shaw Plaza adding another destination beyond the station cluster.
Whampoa, Balestier and Newton Food Centre
Michelin Bib Gourmand food choices span Whampoa, Balestier and Newton Food Centre. The Serra Residences sits among established food districts as well as the shopping centres around Novena MRT. That adds breadth to the dining offer: hawker food and the surrounding food neighbourhoods alongside mall-based options.
A 17-hectare healthcare precinct next door
HealthCity Novena is a 17-hectare precinct anchored by Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The National Centre for Infectious Diseases, the TTSH Integrated Care Hub and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine's Novena campus are also part of HealthCity Novena. The Serra Residences is beside a concentration of healthcare, recovery and medical education facilities.
For households with a direct connection to those institutions, the location has a specific purpose. Work at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, commitments at the Novena medical school campus or regular hospital appointments all give proximity to HealthCity Novena a personal value beyond a central district address.
Novena Park adds public outdoor space
Novena Park has play and fitness equipment, a jogging track and 24-hour opening. The park adds a public outdoor destination to the private recreation spaces at The Serra Residences. Fitness equipment, play space and a jogging track broaden the options beyond the pool and tennis court at home.
School
St. Joseph's Institution Junior and the Novena school network
St. Joseph's Institution Junior is among the schools around The Serra Residences. Hong Wen School, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) are also named in the surrounding school network. These established names make education part of the Novena address, alongside the healthcare and retail precincts.
For families already connected to a school in the area, a new home in Novena offers continuity. Staying with the same school keeps an existing school community part of the move, rather than making a new address and a new school two separate changes at once.
Primary 1 distance priority
Primary 1 registration gives priority by home-to-school distance under the prevailing registration rules. The final home address determines the relevant distance band. School admission remains a separate registration process from the home purchase.
Why this project?
A full-sized tennis court in a 133-home condominium
The Serra Residences pairs its 133-home scale with a full-sized tennis court. For tennis players, the court brings a specific sport into the condominium facilities rather than leaving recreation entirely to a gym and pool. The appeal is the combination: a smaller residential community with room for a full-sized court.
A 50 m pool above the arrival courtyard
The 50 m lap pool sits on Level 3, appearing to float above the arrival courtyard. Its length gives swimming a prominent place in the facilities, while the elevated position makes the pool deck a distinct part of the building. The spa pool adds a separate space for relaxation alongside the lap pool.
Family facilities and spaces for hosting
Children's facilities and a family deck sit alongside a gym, function room and BBQ pavilion. The range serves more than one purpose: exercise, play and hosting all have designated spaces. For a household choosing a new condominium for its shared facilities, The Serra Residences brings those uses together within one residential address.
Homes start at Level 4
The first homes at The Serra Residences begin on Level 4, above the Level 3 pool deck. Residential accommodation starts above the arrival and lower facilities levels, with a basement and a two-storey car park forming part of the building. Even the lowest residential floor is raised above the arrival courtyard.
A choice of compact family layouts
Levels 4 to 16 contain 91 homes. The 2-bedroom + study layouts measure 710 to 721 sq ft, the three-bedroom layouts measure 764 to 904 sq ft, and the four-bedroom layouts measure 958 sq ft. These homes bring several bedroom options into the lower residential collection, without moving into The Summit's larger floor areas.
The separate study in the two-bedroom range is a useful distinction for couples wanting a dedicated additional space. The three- and four-bedroom options extend the range for households needing more bedrooms while retaining a smaller overall floor area than the upper collection.
The Summit: larger homes on Levels 18 to 28
The Summit contains 42 homes across Levels 18 to 28. Twenty four-bedroom and four-bedroom + study homes measure 1,216 to 1,335 sq ft. Another 20 premium four- and five-bedroom homes measure 1,528 to 1,755 sq ft. The two penthouses measure 2,648 sq ft and 2,669 sq ft.
That creates a distinct upper collection for households whose needs go beyond the smaller layouts. Four-bedroom buyers have a choice between the 958 sq ft homes below and larger floor areas in The Summit. Five-bedroom homes and the two penthouses extend the range further, giving larger households their own part of the tower.
Private lifts for 22 homes
Twenty-two homes at The Serra Residences are served by private lifts. Private-lift access adds a more personal arrival to that part of the collection, complementing the larger homes rather than defining every residence in the tower. For buyers who place weight on the arrival experience, this is a distinct feature within the range.
A wellness terrace on Level 17
The Level 17 sky terrace includes a wellness garden, lounge, yoga quiet zone and senior-friendly fitness equipment. The Serra Residences also has a pet park. Alongside the active pool and tennis facilities, these spaces give quieter recreation and older residents a place in the facilities plan.
Novena's first GFA-harmonised freehold condominium
The Serra Residences is Novena's first GFA-harmonised freehold condominium. The harmonised floor-area framework focuses the purchase on usable living space. This adds a specific distinction to the freehold tenure: a new home planned under the newer measurement framework, across both the lower residential collection and The Summit.
EV charging and bicycle spaces
The Serra Residences has 113 car park lots, including EV charging lots, and 23 bicycle spaces. EV charging is included within the parking provision, while bicycle spaces give cycling its own provision within the building. These are concrete additions to the transport options available at the address.
The neighbours
Neu at Novena: a completed freehold reference
Neu at Novena is an 87-home freehold condominium completed in 2023. An 818 sq ft three-bedroom home at Neu at Novena resold in August 2026 for S$2.39 million, or S$2,922 psf. Psf means price per square foot of a home's floor area, expressing the price against the size of the home.
The Serra Residences recorded launch-weekend prices from S$3,123 to S$4,200 psf, averaging about S$3,460 psf. The Neu at Novena transaction provides a dated resale reference in the same freehold neighbourhood, alongside The Serra Residences' new-launch price range.
Peak Residence and the Novena launch history
Peak Residence is a 90-home freehold condominium launched in April 2021. Neu at Novena launched in October 2019. The Serra Residences adds an October 2026 launch to that sequence, with a larger home count than either of those two projects.
The local context gives The Serra Residences a clear position: a new freehold offering following the earlier Novena launches, with a single-tower format and a broad family-home range. The facilities and upper collection give the 133-home scale its particular character.
Strata on Essex Road and Miro on Lincoln Road
Strata and Miro are freehold condominiums built by Far East Organization in Novena. Strata is on Essex Road and Miro is on Lincoln Road. Both place the group's residential experience within the surrounding district, alongside the medical, retail and hospitality buildings that also form part of its Novena track record.
Who's building it
Far East Organization, through Transurban Properties Pte. Ltd.
Far East Organization has developed more than 55,000 private homes in Singapore since 1960. The developer entity for The Serra Residences is Transurban Properties Pte. Ltd., holding developer licence C1556. The Serra Residences combines that legal project identity with the wider group's long residential track record.
A record of building in Novena
Far East Organization built Novena Medical Centre in 2006 and Square 2 in 2007. Oasia Hotel Novena and Novena Specialist Centre followed in 2011. Together with Strata and Miro, those buildings show experience spanning residential, retail, medical and hospitality property in Novena itself.
That local history gives the group a direct connection to the surrounding district. The Serra Residences joins a neighbourhood where Far East Organization has already built homes, shopping space and medical facilities, rather than marking its first involvement in Novena.
The Bassein Road acquisition in 2010
The Serra Residences brings together the former Pastoral View condominium and the adjoining plot at 11 Bassein Road, bought together in 2010 for S$122 million. Pastoral View contained 50 homes and was built in 1986. The Serra Residences replaces that earlier residential chapter with a new 28-storey tower.
The historical land cost was about S$848 psf per plot ratio, including development charges. Psf per plot ratio expresses the land cost against allowable floor area. The 2010 acquisition is the land history behind The Serra Residences, distinct from the price per square foot of the completed homes offered for sale.
P&T Consultants and Keong Hong Construction
P&T Consultants is the architect and Keong Hong Construction is the main contractor. The construction contract award was recorded in March 2026. These named appointments put both the design and building teams behind The Serra Residences alongside the developer identity.
Future
September 2025: HealthCity Novena Phase 2 launched
HealthCity Novena Phase 2 launched in September 2025. For The Serra Residences, this adds an ongoing chapter to the medical precinct next door. The established concentration of hospital, care and medical education facilities gives the address its healthcare connection today; Phase 2 carries the precinct into its next stage.
Who it suits
You want a freehold home in Novena
You want a new freehold address with a choice of home sizes, from a two-bedroom + study through to a penthouse. The Serra Residences puts that range in one tower, with the Novena location carrying through every part of the collection.
You want tennis and swimming within a smaller community
You want the pool and tennis court to be part of your home, with family facilities and spaces for hosting alongside them. The Serra Residences brings that combination to a 133-home condominium, with quieter recreation on a separate wellness level.
You need room for a larger household
You want more than a higher bedroom count. The Summit adds larger floor areas, four- and five-bedroom choices and penthouses, giving your household a distinct upper collection within the same Novena address.
You have a direct connection to HealthCity Novena
You work, study or have regular commitments within the HealthCity Novena precinct. The Serra Residences puts that specific connection at the centre of the location offer, with the wider Novena shopping and food network around it.
