About Clydes Residence

Clydes Residence is a freehold apartment block at 78 Mergui Road, Singapore 219054, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park, Serangoon Road). It was developed by Clydesbuilt Development Pte Ltd and has 48 units in a single slim tower of 17 storeys. Sources give the completion year as 2005 or 2006.

Homes come in one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. For a small development it has a fair set of shared facilities: a swimming pool, a wading pool and a barbecue area. The block sits among the older low-rise flats of Mergui Road, close to the Pek Kio neighbourhood, and remains a fully residential strata development.

Interesting facts

  • According to PropertyGuru's project profile, Clydes Residence was among the early recipients of the Green Mark award. The Building and Construction Authority launched the Green Mark scheme in 2005, about the time the block was finished.

  • The project takes its name from its developer, Clydesbuilt, a Singapore property group.

  • About the street: Mergui Road and neighbouring Rangoon Road sit on one side of the Central Expressway, while a second cluster of Burmese names, including Akyab, Ava, Bassein, Bhamo, Martaban, Minbu, Prome and Shan roads, lies on the other side around Moulmein.

  • About the area: Pek Kio means white bridge in Hokkien. The estate next door was laid out from the 1930s by the Singapore Improvement Trust, with roads named after English towns and counties.
