Project Overview: City Studios Essentials

Developed by Success Century Investment Pte Ltd, City Studios is a boutique freehold apartment completed in 2010. Located in vibrant District 08 (Farrer Park/Little India), it features just 28 units on a compact site, ensuring privacy and exclusivity.[1][3]

Tenure: Freehold. TOP: 2010. Address: 30 Race Course Lane, Singapore 218745. This low-density setup appeals to young professionals and investors seeking a Singapore condo near urban conveniences without the crowds.[1]



City Studios Floor Plans: Unit Types and Layouts

City Studios specializes in compact, functional units ideal for singles, couples, or investors. Floor plans emphasize open layouts with efficient space use, available via official developer records and Homejourney's verified listings.[2][5]

Key Unit Types:

  • Studio Units: Approximately 400-500 sqft. Open-plan design with combined living, kitchen, and sleeping areas. Perfect for solo dwellers; features built-in cabinets and balcony access.
  • 2-Bedroom Units: Around 650-700 sqft (e.g., 657 sqft listing).[4][9] Separate bedrooms, living/dining area, and kitchen. Recent rentals at S$5.63 psf highlight spacious feel despite modest size.[4]

No larger 3BR or penthouses; focus is on City Studios floor plans optimized for urban living. Insider tip: Higher floors offer better views of Farrer Park greenery—check stack 02 or 03 for cross-ventilation, a local favorite in humid Singapore.[1][2]
