Strong Market Response for District 23’s First GFA-Harmonised Residential Development
Public Preview from 17 to 27 January 2026 | Booking Day on 31 January 2026
Singapore, 18 January 2026 – Narra Residences, the upcoming private residential development in the Bukit Timah-Dairy Farm precinct, has attracted strong interest following its public preview launch, welcoming 3,500 visitors on its first preview weekend to Singapore’s first 5D immersive show gallery, bringing a refreshing home-viewing experience to the market.
“The strong response at the preview of Narra Residences suggests that demand for mass-market homes remains resilient, underpinned by genuine owner-occupier interest. We believe the attractive pricing, coupled with limited new private housing supply in that locale have drawn prospective buyers to the preview. Buyers are increasingly discerning and a project that offers the right balance of competitive pricing, liveability and good value tends to spark greater interest”, said Kelvin Fong, Chief Executive Officer, PropNex.
Narra Residences is the first residential development in District 23 to be planned under the GFA Harmonisation framework. The development comprises 540 residential units and 4 commercial shops, offering a wide range of configurations from one-bedroom units with study to five-bedroom residences with private lift access.
Indicative prices start from approximately S$998,000, positioning Narra Residences at anaccessible entry point within the current new-launch private residential market. One-bedroom units are priced from about S$998,000, two-bedroom units from approximately S$1.17 million, while three-bedroom units start from around S$1.6 million. Larger four- and five-bedroom units are priced from approximately S$2.4 million and S$3.8 million respectively.
“Besides being one of the first few private residential launches in 2026, Narra Residences is probably the only new launch in District 23 and Upper Bukit Timah in 2026. District 23 has a low unsold stock of around 40 units hence Narra Residences is launched at an opportune time to address the supply gap”, said Mark Yip, CEO, Huttons Asia.
Comprising seven residential blocks ranging from 6 to 16 storeys, Narra Residences features a terraced architectural profile with north–south orientation. This design allows most units to enjoy open, largely unobstructed views, while promoting natural ventilation and daylighting throughout the development.
Approximately 66 per cent of the site area is dedicated to landscaped greenery, with generous inter-block distances of up to 63 metres. The development is also surrounded by more than 2,000 hectares of nature reserves, offering residents rare access to extensive green spaces within an urban setting.
Located near Hillview MRT station and major expressways, Narra Residences provides convenient connectivity to key parts of Singapore. Daily amenities are within easy reach, with Dairy Farm Mall situated directly across the road and commercial shops integrated within the development itself. The project is also located within one kilometre of CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace and Bukit Panjang Primary School, and is within walking distance of German European School Singapore and The Perse School.
“Narra Residences is launching into a market where new private residential supply in low-density, nature-adjacent enclaves remains limited,” said Marcus Chu, Chief Executive Officer, ERA Singapore. “This rarity, coupled with growing preferences for quieter, greener living environments, is expected to translate into strong buyer interest, particularly among owner-occupiers and families who value privacy, space and long-term liveability. Such developments tend to attract steady demand as they offer a differentiated lifestyle proposition that is increasingly scarce.”
The public preview is ongoing until 27 January 2026 at the project’s immersive sales gallery located along Dairy Farm Walk, which features the architectural model and curated spaces inspired by the surrounding quarry, reservoir and forest landscapes. Booking day is scheduled for 31 January 2026.
