Dunearn House

Dunearn House is the opening chapter of Bukit Timah Turf City — the URA Master Plan precinct being carved out of the former Bukit Turf Club estate. The plan calls for 15,000–20,000 new homes over the next 15–20 years, wrapped in a car-lite masterplan around 22 preserved heritage buildings, a future Turf City MRT (Cross Island Line, currently under construction), and the Bukit Timah–Rochor Green Corridor. That "first-mover" status is the project's structural pitch: buyers are getting into the precinct before the addressing premium is fully priced, before the amenity layer is built, and before the neighbourhood pattern is set.

The developer combination reads as premium-tier: Frasers Property Singapore brings decades of Singapore residential and mixed-use experience; Sekisui House is Japan's largest homebuilder and a global leader in prefabrication, sustainability and interior craft; CSC Land Group sits under China State Construction — the balance sheet and construction depth behind a lot of recent Chinese-consortium launches. ONG&ONG on architecture and Ecoplan Asia on landscape complete a team that has delivered several of the sales-gallery experiences buyers will already recognise from other premium launches.

The scheme is deliberately not a mega-project — 380 units across 5 blocks means a manageable facility-per-unit ratio and less lift-queue anxiety than the 1,000-plus-unit RCR launches that dominate the current pipeline. The massing (2 × 19-storey, 3 × 10-storey) is unusual for D11 — the taller blocks capture the north view over the Turf City site and beyond, while the mid-rise blocks step down to blend with the Watten and Sixth Avenue GCB context. The landscape concept — branded "Mirage Forest" with named zones (Foyer of the Forest, Canopy Mirage, Cascade Forest, Waterfall Club, Tropical Wellness) — is heavier on nature-immersion themes than the typical Singapore luxury condo language, which is a genuine differentiator on the sales gallery experience.

The unit mix skews Luxury Collection (62%, 236 units) — mostly 2-bedroom and small 3-bedroom formats at 527–969 sqft. The Pinnacle Collection (38%, 144 units) contains the larger 3BR Premium (1,001 sqft), 4BR (1,184 sqft), 4BR Premium (1,302–1,313 sqft) and 4BR Premium + Study (1,378 sqft). Efficiency numbers here matter — the sales kit specifically references "highly efficient and well-designed layouts that maximise usable space" and positions this against older D11 resale inventory as an affordability wedge for HDB upgraders chasing a Bukit Timah postcode.

Dunearn Road sits on the northern spine of District 11 — the traditional Bukit Timah / Sixth Avenue / Watten belt that has anchored the top-quartile of Singapore residential real estate for four decades. Dunearn House takes frontage to Dunearn Road, at the foothills of the new Bukit Timah Turf City precinct, and looks north across the future 500-acre Turf City redevelopment.

Connectivity via Downtown Line — Sixth Avenue MRT (DT7) is a walk / short cycle from the site, King Albert Park (DT6) is one stop away, and the future Turf City MRT (Cross Island Line, currently under construction) will drop within the precinct. From Sixth Avenue: Botanic Gardens interchange (DTL/CCL) in 2 stops, Newton (DTL/NSL) in 4, Bugis (DTL/EWL) in 7. The sales kit's headline framing is "5 interchanges within 7 stations" — a reasonable summary of the connectivity picture once Turf City station opens.

Schools within reach are the strongest anchor here. Methodist Girls' School (MGS) is "possibly within 1km" per the sales kit — verify per stack on OneMap, as the estate straddles the boundary. Within 2km: Nanyang Primary, Raffles Girls' Primary, Henry Park Primary, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary, and the full ACS (Independent) / RGS / RI secondary cluster. This is a genuine top-tier school catchment, not a marketing stretch.

Daily amenity: Dunearn Village + FairPrice Finest on the doorstep. Cluny Court, Bukit Timah Plaza, Beauty World Centre and the Turf City retail (future) all inside the 10-minute neighbourhood. Nature is genuinely close — the Rail Corridor (Bukit Timah), Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, MacRitchie Reservoir Park and the Eng Neo Avenue Forest all sit inside a 10-minute cycle. The 1.4km elevated linear park along Dunearn Road is one of the URA precinct commitments.

The site is held by Phoenix Dunearn Pte Ltd — a three-way JV of Frasers Property Singapore, Sekisui House and CSC Land Group (Singapore). Each brings a different piece of the delivery stack.

Frasers Property Singapore is the residential, commercial and mixed-use arm of Frasers Property Limited — one of Singapore's most established property companies with a long list of recent launches, hotel-branded residences, retail malls and integrated developments. Handover cadence has been at the upper end of the market, and their post-TOP management contracts are typically well-run.

Sekisui House, established 1960, is Japan's largest homebuilder and a global leader in prefabricated construction, sustainability and interior craft. Singapore residential references are shorter than Frasers', but the brand carries genuine premium associations in interior finish, integrated smart-home systems and the "craft" spec sheet. This is what tends to differentiate the interior experience versus a mid-tier Singapore developer.

CSC Land Group (Singapore) is a property developer under the rich parentage of China State Construction — one of the world's largest construction groups, with balance sheet depth and infrastructure-grade construction capability. Recent Singapore residential contributions have been on the JV side, providing capital, construction depth and long-cycle execution.

The design side: ONG&ONG on architecture and Project ID, Ecoplan Asia on landscape. Both are well-known for the sales-gallery and show-unit work on other premium launches. The showflat IDs are Super Fat Design (Sales Gallery + 2BR + Study) and Massone Ong (3BR + Study + 4BR Premium + Study).

The combination signals a project positioned at the premium tier of the launch slate — expect European appliance brands on the Pinnacle Collection, considered material palette in common areas, and a spec sheet that sits at the higher end of what the D11 market delivers in the sub-1,500 sqft range.
