Dunearn House Launches From S$1.475M as Bukit Timah Turf City’s First Private Condo

Dunearn House debuts from S$1.475M, but the real gamble is Turf City’s first private condo—and whether the precinct can outshine Bukit Timah.

Dunearn House isn’t just another District 11 launch — it’s the opening shot in what could become one of Singapore’s most closely watched new residential precincts. Developed by Frasers Property, CSC Land Group, and Sekisui House, this 380-unit project at 760–770 Dunearn Road holds the distinction of being the first private condo within the Bukit Timah Turf City precinct. Previews open from 10 July 2026, with sales bookings starting 25 July 2026.

Dunearn House isn’t just another launch — it’s the first private condo in the Bukit Timah Turf City precinct.

Prices start from S$1.475 million for a two-bedder at roughly 527 sq ft — that’s S$2,799 psf at entry. Three-bedders begin at S$2.597 million, while four-bedders open at S$3.588 million.

Across five blocks — two at 19 storeys and three at 10 — the unit mix leans heavily toward two-bedders at 46%, with four-bedders comprising a surprisingly large 28% share, signalling the developers are clearly targeting upgrader families, not investors chasing rental yield.

Here’s the contrarian take: the leasehold tenure at 99 years will give some buyers pause, especially when freehold alternatives exist deeper in Bukit Timah. But I’d argue the precinct effect here is underpriced. When Dairy Farm Residences launched in 2019, buyers were similarly cautious about its edge-of-town positioning — yet it sold well and held value as the surrounding area matured. Turf City’s transformation carries comparable upside.

For buyers and investors, what matters most is timing. You’re fundamentally buying into a precinct that doesn’t fully exist yet. The adjacent site has already been awarded to a Wing Tai and Metro tie-up, and public housing phases are planned nearby. The government has outlined plans for 15,000–20,000 homes across the entire Turf City estate, underscoring just how substantial this transformation is expected to be.

That community density — schools like Hwa Chong Institution and Methodist Girls’ School already in the catchment, plus a future Cross Island Line MRT stop — creates the kind of belonging that families pay a premium for. Residents will also benefit from Sixth Avenue MRT station being just a four-minute walk away, offering immediate connectivity well before the Cross Island Line stop materialises. Analysts have noted that new launches along Dunearn could exceed S$2,900 psf as tighter supply and sustained buyer demand continue to underpin pricing in the school-belt corridor.

The real question isn’t whether Dunearn House is priced right today. It’s whether the Turf City precinct becomes the next One-North — a masterplanned neighbourhood that took years to find its identity but ultimately transformed everything around it.
