As the first residential development within the Bukit Timah Turf City masterplan, Dunearn House offers buyers an early stake in one of Singapore's most ambitious new neighbourhoods
When Singapore’s racecourse relocated from Bukit Timah to Kranji in 1999, it marked the end of an era for one of the city’s most storied districts. More than two decades later, the expansive site is beginning its next transformation. Envisioned as a new residential precinct that balances heritage conservation with lush public spaces and sustainable urban planning, Bukit Timah Turf City is poised to become one of Singapore's most closely watched neighbourhoods.

Leading that transformation is Dunearn House, the first private residential development to be launched within the masterplan. Developed by Frasers Property, CSC Land Group and Sekisui House, the 380-unit condominium occupies a prime position along Dunearn Road, just a four-minute walk from Sixth Avenue MRT station and within the coveted District 11 enclave. It also marks the first private residential launch in the neighbouring Swiss Club landed estate in more than three decades.

For prospective homeowners, the appeal extends beyond buying into a new condominium. It is an opportunity to be among the first residents of an entirely new neighbourhood, one that has been planned around walkability, generous green spaces and a car-lite lifestyle. The government’s vision for Turf City includes parks, community amenities, recreational facilities and transport links organised within a convenient 10-minute neighbourhood, allowing residents to access daily essentials without relying heavily on cars.

The architecture takes cues from the site’s equestrian past while responding to its verdant surroundings. Rising above the neighbouring landed homes, Dunearn House is the tallest residential development in its immediate vicinity, affording expansive views across Bukit Timah’s tree-lined landscape. Approximately 35 per cent of the site is devoted to greenery, including landscaped gardens and the Mirage Forest sanctuary, where planting and reflective water features create immersive outdoor spaces. Homes are oriented along a north-south axis to improve natural ventilation and reduce heat gain, while shaded balconies further enhance thermal comfort.

Connectivity remains another defining strength. Residents will be within walking distance of both Sixth Avenue MRT station on the Downtown Line and the future Turf City MRT station on the Cross Island Line, significantly improving east-west accessibility once completed. Orchard Road is approximately 10 minutes away by car, while Holland Village and Dempsey are also within easy reach. The development is equally attractive to families, sitting within one of Singapore's most established education belts, with renowned schools including Methodist Girls’ School, Nanyang Primary School, Raffles Girls’ Primary School and Hwa Chong Institution located nearby.

Nature also plays an integral role in everyday life. Beyond the landscaped grounds, residents will have direct access to some of Singapore’s most celebrated green spaces, including the Rail Corridor, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Central Catchment Nature Reserve and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The future Bukit Timah–Rochor Green Corridor will further strengthen these ecological connections while encouraging walking and cycling throughout the precinct.

The development’s amenities are similarly centred on wellbeing rather than spectacle. Alongside a 50m lap pool, residents can also enjoy wellness pools, waterfall terraces, themed lounges and two clubhouses. Active lifestyles are supported through a gymnasium, outdoor fitness areas and a tennis court, while families will appreciate the forest-inspired children's play landscape, anchored by a 60m meandering trail designed to encourage exploration and imaginative play. Naturally ventilated communal spaces and generous planting reinforce the project’s emphasis on mental wellness and outdoor living.

The Luxury Collection features refined finishes and premium fittings, while the Pinnacle Collection introduces upgraded specifications, including enhanced kitchen appliances and selected smart-home features. Across both collections, homes are fitted with Smeg kitchen appliances, Hansgrohe and Geberit sanitaryware, large-format European tiles and digital smart-home systems that allow residents to manage visitor access, facility bookings and selected home functions through a dedicated mobile app.

Sustainability has also been embedded throughout the development. Designed to achieve BCA Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certification, Dunearn House incorporates solar photovoltaic panels for common areas, smart energy monitoring systems, sensor-based lighting and ventilation, electric vehicle charging points and extensive bicycle parking. These features complement the wider vision for Turf City as a future-ready residential district where environmental performance and everyday liveability go hand in hand.

With prices starting from S$1.475 million for a two-bedroom residence, Dunearn House arrives not simply as another condominium launch, but as the opening chapter in one of Singapore's most significant residential transformations. For buyers who believe that neighbourhoods mature over decades rather than years, it represents the rare opportunity to arrive at the very beginning.
