The Serra Residences is one of the latest freehold launches to enter Singapore’s prime District 11 market in 2026.
Developed by Far East Organization, the project sits at 7 Bassein Road in Novena, close to Novena MRT and the growing HealthCity Novena healthcare precinct.
The project is scheduled to launch in October 2026, with an estimated TOP in 2030.

With 43 four-bedroom homes, this is the largest unit category in the development.
Another notable feature is the absence of 1-bedroom units. Together with built-up sizes ranging from approximately 710 sq ft to 2,670 sq ft, the unit mix gives The Serra Residences a clear family and owner-occupier orientation.
Novena MRT and HealthCity Are Key Location Advantages
One of The Serra Residences’ strongest advantages is its position within an established Novena neighbourhood.
The development is close to Novena MRT Station, giving residents convenient access to the North-South Line and direct connectivity towards Orchard, Raffles Place and other central areas.
Another major location feature is HealthCity Novena, Singapore’s integrated healthcare precinct.
The Ministry of Health describes HealthCity Novena as a 17-hectare integrated healthcare ecosystem, with further development planned around healthcare facilities, green spaces and pedestrian connections. Read more about the HealthCity Novena Master Plan.
This combination of MRT access, healthcare infrastructure and central positioning could make the project attractive to buyers who want to remain close to the city while living within an established residential neighbourhood.
Nearby Amenities Add to the Convenience
Residents will also have access to established shopping and dining options around Novena.
Velocity @ Novena Square, Square 2 and United Square are nearby, while Orchard Road is also within easy reach.
The project’s location gives residents access to a mature neighbourhood rather than relying entirely on future amenities that have yet to be completed.
Schools Could Appeal to Families
The nearest primary school listed for the project is St. Joseph’s Institution Junior.
Other established schools are also located within the wider Novena and Bukit Timah area.
For buyers purchasing specifically with Primary 1 registration in mind, exact home-to-school distances should still be verified using the prevailing official distance calculation before making a purchase decision.
Who Could The Serra Residences Appeal To?
The Serra Residences could be particularly relevant to buyers looking for:
Freehold tenure in District 11
A smaller 133-unit development
Proximity to Novena MRT
Access to HealthCity Novena
Family-sized 2- to 5+ bedroom layouts
Larger 4-bedroom and penthouse options
A central location with established amenities
The absence of 1-bedroom units also gives the development a different positioning from projects that are more heavily geared towards compact investment units.
Buyers can view The Serra Residences and compare it with other new launches on the RealAgent Listing Portal.
The Bottom Line
The Serra Residences combines several attributes that are relatively uncommon in a new central launch: freehold tenure, just 133 homes, a Novena address and a unit mix focused on larger homes.
With 4-bedroom units making up the largest share of the development and sizes extending to approximately 2,670 sq ft, the project appears particularly suited to buyers looking for more space in a central location.
Its proximity to Novena MRT, HealthCity Novena and established amenities adds another layer of convenience.
The next key factor for buyers will be how the project is priced when sales begin in October 2026.
