Hero Perspective of The Serra Residences, showcasing the 28-storey tower set within the Novena residential enclave
Guide price starts from $3,120 psf, with a 710 sqft 2-bedroom with study unit commencing from $2.22 million.Ms SHAW Lay See (苏丽茜), Chief Operating Officer (首席运营官) of Far East Organization’s Sales & Leasing Group (房地产销售租赁部), shared, “When we brought the former Pastoral View and its neighbouring plot together, we saw an opportunity to create something seldom found in the city – an intimate community of 133 homes with the facilities of a much larger development. We raised every residence up above the street level, starting from Level 4 to maximise privacy and set aside generous space for a 50m lap pool, a full-sized tennis court and gardens woven through the tower. It is a home designed for families to grow into, and in a neighbourhood they value.”

A Rare Freehold Address in District 11
Situated on a 51,396 sqft (4,774.80 sqm) freehold site, one of the more sizeable in the Bassein enclave, The Serra Residences arrives at a time of limited new freehold supply nearby. No other upcoming freehold launch has been identified in the vicinity nor are Government Land Sales sites in the area offered on 99-year leasehold tenure. It is also Novena’s first Gross Floor Area (GFA)-harmonised freehold development, so buyers pay only for usable living space.
Mountain-Inspired Biophilic Architecture & Climate-Responsive Design
The Serra Residences’ tower draws on the contours and rock strata of mountain terrain, expressed through vertical façade lines, stepped forms and earthy stone timber materials. It is oriented to reduce east-west sun and frame city skyline views to the south and greenery to the north.
Said Mr Kingsley NG (黄啟明), Architect and Director at P&T Consultants (巴马丹拿顾问), “We set out to explore how biophilic design can elevate modern central living. Inspired by the timeless character of mountain terrain, the tower is conceived as a sculpted urban landmark. Its vertical forms and distinctive silhouette expressing permanence and quiet elegance, while opening towards unblocked greenery and responding thoughtfully to the east–west sun. Like natural formations shaped over time, the tower is sculpted into layered voids that reveal elevated green terraces and communal spaces for residents to gather, retreat and connect with nature. The result is an architecture where form, landscape, community and climate come together in a quieter, more enduring expression of city living.”
Thoughtfully Curated Homes for Every Stage of Family Life
The 133 homes span two tiers: Two-bedroom with study to four-bedroom units (Levels 4 to 16), and The Summit on levels 18 to 28, comprising larger four- and five-bedroom residences and two penthouses, with 22 units served by private lifts. For multi-generational households, children’s facilities and family deck sit alongside a gym, spa pool, function room and BBQ pavilion, while the signature 50m lap pool on level 3 appears to float above the arrival courtyard.
