About The Bliss
The Bliss is a very small freehold apartment building at 128 Race Course Road, Singapore 218586, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park). According to EdgeProp's project records it was completed in 2013 by LR Properties Pte Ltd. It has just seven units, on a plot of about 223 sq m with around 779 sq m of gross floor area.
With so few homes, The Bliss is closer in scale to a rebuilt shophouse than to a condominium, and no communal facilities are recorded. It sits in a row of low-rise buildings on the Little India side of Race Course Road and is in residential use today. Little else has been published about the building itself, so the facts below are mostly about the street.
Interesting facts
Seven units makes The Bliss one of the smallest strata residential developments on Race Course Road.
Further up the same road is the Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple, founded in 1927 by a Thai monk. It is often called the Temple of 1,000 Lights and houses a seated Buddha about 15 metres high.
Little India was gazetted as a conservation area on 7 July 1989. Race Course Road forms the western edge of the wider Little India neighbourhood.
The district grew up around a nineteenth-century cattle trade along Serangoon Road, which drew many Indian workers to settle here.
Nearby
Little India MRT (North East and Downtown Lines) and Farrer Park MRT (North East Line) are both about five minutes' walk. The road's well-known banana leaf and fish head curry restaurants are a short stroll away. Tekka Centre offers a wet market and hawker food. Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road, a national monument since 1978, is within walking distance. Farrer Park Primary School serves the area.
