About City Studios
City Studios is a freehold apartment block at 30 Race Course Lane, Singapore 218745, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park). According to EdgeProp's project records it was completed in 2013 by Success Century Investment Pte Ltd. It contains 25 units on a plot of about 352 sq m, with a gross floor area of around 1,231 sq m.
As the name suggests, the homes are compact, averaging under 50 sq m of gross floor area per unit. It is a single block without recorded communal facilities, and it is in residential use. Its neighbour at number 28 is the later 28 RC Suites. Little has been published about the building itself, so some facts below concern the wider area.
Interesting facts
Twenty-five homes on roughly 352 sq m of land makes City Studios one of the more tightly planned projects in the neighbourhood.
It was completed three years before the block next door, making it the first of the two modern apartment buildings on this side of the lane.
The open ground north of here was named Farrer Park in 1935, after a president of the Municipal Commission. It had served as the racecourse until 1933.
In 2022 the government announced that the Farrer Park site, about 10 hectares, would be redeveloped with around 1,600 public flats, a new sports centre and a 1.2-hectare central green.
