About Forte Suites

Forte Suites is a freehold condominium at 88 Mergui Road, Singapore 219062, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park, Serangoon Road). It is a single tower of 106 homes on a site of roughly 2,000 square metres, completed in 2016. EdgeProp lists the developer as Forte Development Pte Ltd and the architect as Ronny Chin Architects.

At around 24 storeys, the tower is far taller than most of its neighbours, which are walk-up flats and low-rise apartments from earlier decades. The unit mix runs from one-bedroom homes to penthouses. Shared facilities are stacked at three levels rather than spread on the ground: a swimming pool deck on the 5th storey, a gym and lounge level on the 14th, and a viewing deck near the top.

Interesting facts

  • Mergui Road is part of a family of Burmese street names around Moulmein and Balestier. Mergui is a town and archipelago on the southern coast of Myanmar. Rangoon Road, Mandalay Road, Pegu Road and Irrawaddy Road belong to the same group.

  • Launch material stated that some of the larger units came with a private jacuzzi.

  • With 106 parking lots listed for 106 homes, the project was planned with one lot per unit, which is generous for a city-fringe site.

  • EdgeProp notes that the block has high ceilings and a sky deck on the upper floors, and that the Central Expressway is close at hand for drivers.
