About Owen Court
Owen Court is a small freehold apartment development on Owen Road in the Pek Kio area of District 8 (Little India and Farrer Park), managed under MCST 1361. The listing gives its address as 102 Owen Road, but OneMap attaches the name Owen Court to 104, 104A, 104B, 106, 106A, 106B, 108, 108A, 110 and 110A Owen Road, with postal codes 218912 to 218917. OneMap shows 102 Owen Road, Singapore 218911, as the neighbouring lot with no building name. EdgeProp lists Owen Court at 108A Owen Road, with freehold tenure and completion in 1985, on a site of about 571 sq m with roughly 1,712 sq m of floor area. The row of addresses suggests a terrace of low-rise walk-up blocks rather than a single tower.
Interesting facts
Owen Road runs for about 500 metres from Race Course Road to Norfolk Road. The origin of its name is not well documented.
The first Cambridge Road Market served the area from the 1950s and was enlarged by the City Council in 1958. It was pulled down in the early 1980s and replaced by today's Pek Kio Market and Food Centre at the Cambridge Road and Owen Road junction.
Owen Estate was one of several Singapore Improvement Trust estates built in this district between the 1930s and 1950s. By the late 1950s nearly 8,000 families lived in them.
