The Serra Residences
The Serra Residences is an exclusive new freehold condominium at 7 Bassein Road in District 11, offering just 133 residences in the established Novena neighbourhood. Developed by Far East Organization, the development combines the lasting appeal of freehold ownership with convenient access to Novena MRT, shopping, healthcare facilities and the city centre.
Rising 28 storeys, The Serra Residences offers homes ranging from 2-Bedroom + Study apartments to larger 5-Bedroom Premium residences and penthouses. With its relatively small number of homes, central location and proximity to the growing HealthCity Novena precinct, the development is positioned for buyers looking for a private city-fringe home with long-term ownership appeal.
The Serra Residences Location & Connectivity
The Serra Residences is located at 7 Bassein Road, Singapore 309837, within prime District 11.
One of the development’s key advantages is its accessibility to Novena MRT Station on the North-South Line. The developer indicates an approximately 8-minute walk to the station, giving residents direct rail connectivity towards Orchard, City Hall, Raffles Place and Marina Bay.
For drivers, the central Novena location also provides convenient access towards Orchard Road and Singapore’s main commercial districts. The developer indicates that Orchard Road is approximately a six-minute drive away, subject to traffic conditions.
Despite its central position, Bassein Road sits within a predominantly residential pocket, allowing The Serra Residences to offer a more private residential environment while remaining close to the conveniences of Novena.
Shopping, Dining and Everyday Amenities
Residents will have an established range of shopping, dining and everyday amenities within the wider Novena neighbourhood.
Nearby retail destinations include:
- Velocity @ Novena Square
- Square 2
- Shopping and dining options around Novena MRT
- Newton Food Centre within a short drive
- Orchard Road’s wider shopping and lifestyle belt
The developer indicates that Square 2 and Velocity @ Novena Square are approximately three minutes away by car.
This combination gives residents convenient access to supermarkets, restaurants, retail shops and services without having to travel far from home.
HealthCity Novena and the Medical Hub
A particularly distinctive aspect of The Serra Residences‘ location is its proximity to HealthCity Novena, the integrated healthcare precinct being developed around Novena.
The developer places HealthCity Novena approximately two minutes’ walk from the development.
The wider Novena area is already recognised as one of Singapore’s major healthcare clusters, with institutions and medical facilities concentrated within the precinct.
For homeowners, this provides the practical convenience of living close to a major healthcare hub. From a longer-term perspective, the continuing development of the Novena medical precinct also reinforces the area’s role as an important employment, healthcare and institutional node close to Singapore’s city centre.
Schools Near The Serra Residences
Families considering The Serra Residences will also find established schools in and around District 11.
According to the developer, St. Joseph’s Institution Junior is within 1km of the development and approximately an eight-minute walk away. Hong Wen School is also identified by the developer as being within 1km and approximately three minutes away by car.
Parents purchasing specifically for Primary One registration should always verify the applicable home-to-school distance directly with the Ministry of Education, as eligibility is determined according to MOE’s official methodology and prevailing registration rules.
The surrounding Novena, Newton and Bukit Timah areas also provide access to a wider selection of educational institutions.
The Serra Residences Unit Mix
The Serra Residences comprises only 133 homes, providing a relatively exclusive residential environment compared with many larger new-launch developments.
The official unit mix comprises:
- 2-Bedroom + Study
- 3-Bedroom
- 4-Bedroom
- 4-Bedroom + Study
- 4-Bedroom Premium
- 5-Bedroom Premium
- Penthouse
The larger Premium residences and penthouses come with private lift access, providing an additional level of privacy for buyers seeking larger-format homes.
The absence of conventional 1-bedroom apartments also gives the development a noticeably family-oriented unit mix. Buyers can choose from more compact 2-Bedroom + Study configurations through to substantially larger homes suitable for families requiring additional bedrooms and living space.
Exact unit sizes and individual floor-plan configurations should be reviewed against the official floor plans when released or provided by the developer.
Facilities at The Serra Residences
Although The Serra Residences comprises only 133 units, the development provides a range of recreational and lifestyle facilities.
Key facilities highlighted by the developer include a 50-metre lap pool, tennis court, fitness room and social spaces.
Landscaping and communal spaces form an important part of the development concept, with the architecture drawing inspiration from sculptural mountain and landscape forms.
The combination of recreational facilities and a relatively low number of residences may particularly appeal to buyers who prefer a more intimate development without giving up the facilities normally associated with a full condominium.
The Serra Residences Floor Plans
The Serra Residences offers a broad range of layouts, beginning with 2-Bedroom + Study homes and progressing to larger family residences and penthouses.
When choosing a unit, buyers should consider not simply the number of bedrooms but also the efficiency of the layout, usable internal space, orientation, floor level and how the configuration suits their longer-term household requirements.
The 4-Bedroom Premium, 5-Bedroom Premium and penthouse configurations are especially noteworthy for buyers seeking larger residences with private lift access.

Developer – Far East Organization
The Serra Residences is developed by Transurban Properties Pte. Ltd. and presented by Far East Organization, one of Singapore’s established real estate groups.
Far East Organization has an extensive property portfolio spanning residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and other real estate sectors in Singapore.
For buyers considering a new launch, the developer’s track record is an important consideration alongside location, tenure, layout and pricing.
The Serra Residences Pricing
Official launch pricing for The Serra Residences should be confirmed against the latest developer price list.
As pricing may vary according to unit type, floor level, facing and availability, buyers should avoid relying on unofficial indicative figures when comparing units.
Enquire for the latest The Serra Residences pricing, available units and developer sales information.
For buyers assessing value, it is also useful to compare The Serra Residences with existing freehold developments in Novena and other new-launch options within District 11 rather than looking at headline price alone.
Why Consider The Serra Residences?
The Serra Residences brings together several characteristics that are relatively difficult to replicate in a single development: freehold tenure, a prime District 11 address, only 133 units, proximity to Novena MRT and access to the established Novena medical and lifestyle hub.
Its unit mix also distinguishes it from projects heavily weighted towards smaller investment units. Starting from 2-Bedroom + Study homes and extending to large premium residences and penthouses, the project is relevant to couples, families, right-sizers and buyers looking for a longer-term city-fringe residence.
The freehold tenure may be particularly attractive to purchasers with a longer holding horizon or those who place greater importance on legacy ownership.
As with any new launch, however, the eventual value proposition should be assessed against the official launch pricing, individual unit attributes and comparable properties in the surrounding market.
Property360 Insight
The Serra Residences stands out primarily because of the combination of freehold tenure and a boutique 133-unit development in Novena.
Rather than competing purely on scale, the project offers a more private residential proposition within an established District 11 neighbourhood. Its proximity to Novena MRT, HealthCity Novena, shopping amenities and Orchard Road strengthens its appeal for owner-occupiers who want central convenience without living directly within the Orchard shopping belt.
The family-oriented unit mix is another positive feature. With homes beginning from 2-Bedroom + Study and larger Premium residences offering private lifts, The Serra Residences appears designed to attract buyers looking beyond a typical compact investment apartment.
The key factor to assess will be pricing. Once the official price list is released, buyers should compare the project’s freehold premium against nearby resale alternatives and competing new launches before deciding which unit offers the strongest overall value.
