Interesting facts
Marne Road was one of a group of Jalan Besar streets named by the municipal authorities in 1928 after battles and commanders of the First World War. Others in the set include Somme Road, Verdun Road, Kitchener Road and Flanders Square.
Fifteen of the 54 homes were designed as dual-key units, which can be split into two separate living spaces behind one front door.
City Square Mall, a few minutes away, stands on the site of New World, which opened in 1923 as the first of Singapore's three big amusement parks and closed in 1987.
The building's 62 parking lots serve both the shops and the residents, according to the project fact sheet.
