About King's Court
King's Court is a freehold apartment block at 10 Norfolk Road, Singapore 219014, in District 8 (Farrer Park / Serangoon Road). Property portals give its completion year as 1975, which makes it one of the older private strata buildings in the Pek Kio area. It has only 14 units, on a site of about 1,471 square metres. The developer is not recorded in the sources checked.
With so few homes on a fairly generous plot, the flats are large by current standards. The listed gross floor area of about 4,119 square metres works out to an average of close to 300 square metres per unit, including common areas. The building is still standing, with no collective sale on record in the directories consulted. It is managed by MCST 0296, one of the earliest strata plan numbers in the district.
Interesting facts
The three-digit MCST number reflects its age. Strata titles were only introduced in Singapore in the late 1960s.
Norfolk Road gave its name to Norfolk Estate, a group of Singapore Improvement Trust flats built here between 1953 and 1955. This is a fact about the street, not the building.
By the late 1950s, close to 8,000 families lived in the Norfolk, Durham, Owen and Tasek Utara public estates around it, according to the heritage blog Remember Singapore.
Norfolk is one of 22 English county and city names used for roads in this neighbourhood.
