The Sen: A Serene Hillside Haven in District 21
A low-density residence in Bukit Timah, designed around nature, thoughtful layouts, and future transformation multipliers.
Rising above a peaceful landed neighbourhood with easy access to nature parks, premium schools, everyday conveniences, and key employment hubs, The Sen redefines West-side living through its terraced greenery, generous facilities, and practical layouts — creating a modern sanctuary anchored in one of Singapore’s most liveable and future-ready districts.
The western side of Singapore has been reshaping itself over the past decade, but few neighbourhoods are evolving as quickly or as meaningfully as Bukit Timah. Known for its greenery, long-established schools, and a strong owner-occupier base, District 21 has always appealed to families who value long-term quality of life. But what’s happening now is different.
Major transformation nodes such as Beauty World, Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor, the upcoming Cross Island Line, the expanded Jurong Lake District (JLD), and the future Greater One-North innovation belt are converging in one region. These overlapping catalysts are set to reshape how people live, commute, and work creating a unique window of opportunity for early movers.
Amid these shifts, The Sen emerges as one of the most compelling new RCR launches, offering something increasingly rare: a low-density, resort-inspired home enveloped by greenery, positioned within a landed enclave yet connected to key urban growth areas.
With just 347 units across five 10-storey blocks, The Sen blends tranquil living with meaningful functional design, wide living rooms, natural ventilation, strong unit efficiency, and layouts crafted for real families. In a district with a high proportion of owner-occupiers, this level of attention to liveability matters.
What follows is a comprehensive, data-backed look into The Sen — using only verified information from the official sales deck, to give future homeowners and investors a clear view of what this project truly offers.

Design & Architectural Intent
The Sen’s architectural team — AGA Architects and Ecoplan Asia — designed the development around serenity, greenery, and strong internal efficiency.
Key Concepts
Low-density enclave surrounded by landed housing for added privacy
10-storey height making it the tallest structure in its immediate enclave
North–South orientation for wind flow and reduced heat gain
Extensive greenery network woven through landscape decks and rooftop areas
Family-centric communal zones across Level 1, Level 2 (pool deck), and rooftop terraces
The project’s terraced landscape rises from the drop-off to the main pool deck, creating a visually calm environment while giving residents a sense of elevated privacy.
Facilities & Communal Spaces
The Sen features an extensive spread of lifestyle facilities across three levels:
Level 1 – Ground Facilities
Drop-off foyer
Serenity Walk
Serenity Lounge
Childcare centre with dedicated drop-off
Level 2 – Pool Deck
50m Lap Pool
Family Pool
Children’s Pool
Clubhouse with equipped show kitchen

Rooftop Terrace

Location & Connectivity
The Sen sits in the heart of District 21, within an established residential stretch of Jalan Jurong Kechil.
Transport Access
Beauty World MRT (DTL): Connected via nearby bus routes 178 and 852
Hume MRT (DTL): Direct bus connectivity
Multiple bus stops located right outside the development’s entrance
Lifestyle & Nature
The Sen benefits from proximity to a wide network of nature corridors and recreational routes:
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Bukit Timah–Rochor Green Corridor
Rail Corridor
Upcoming Beauty World Integrated Transport Hub
Turf City (future residential precinct)
These nodes form part of the “Triple Transformation Multipliers” strengthening long-term value in the west.
Why The Sen Stands Out
1. District 21’s strong owner-occupier base
82% of households are owner-occupied
One of Singapore’s highest-income districts
Stability leads to long-term price resilience
2. Low-density, high-livability design
Only 347 units
Surrounded by landed housing
Large layouts and efficient floor plans
3. RCR homes at OCR-like pricing
Starting from $1.499M for 2BR
Competitive vs OCR launches according to comparison charts
4. Proximity to major transformation zones
JLD, Greater One-North, Beauty World
Multiple upcoming residential/commercial rejuvenations
5. MRT-effect uplift potential
Data shows homes near MRT outperform significantly over time

The Sen is the kind of project that’s becoming harder to find — a calm, green, low-density community in an evolving district that’s primed for long-term transformation. With layouts designed for genuine day-to-day living, strong natural ventilation, excellent privacy, and an impressive spread of facilities, it offers a lifestyle that blends resort-like calm with future urban connectivity.
For homeowners who prioritise space, comfort, and quality — or investors who understand the significance of transformation multipliers — The Sen presents a compelling proposition in District 21.
