About The Sterling
About The Sterling
The Sterling is a condominium located at 1001 and 1003 Bukit Timah Road, within Singapore's established District 21 residential enclave.
Completed in 2001 by Far East Organisation, this medium-density freehold comprises 232 residential units, arranged across two residential blocks rising to approximately 10 storeys.
Catering to a broad spectrum of owner-occupiers and family households seeking a private, low-rise living environment along Bukit Timah.
Positioned along one of Singapore's most recognisable residential corridors, The Sterling benefits from a mature neighbourhood profile supported by transport infrastructure, retail clusters, educational institutions, and surrounding green reserves.
