A small mixed-use development on Rangoon Road
The Ranz is a freehold development by Kefi Development Pte. Ltd. at 109 Rangoon Road. Its project brochure describes 14 apartments and three shops, bringing homes and commercial space together in a compact street-front building.
The residential count includes 12 two-bedroom-plus-study apartments and two four-bedroom duplexes. The unit-distribution chart places the shops at level one, four apartments on each of levels two to four, and the two duplexes at level five. The shops should therefore be counted separately from the 14 homes.
Understanding the apartment layouts
The brochure’s regular apartment plans show a study area, balcony and household-shelter or utility space. The duplexes have internal stairs and an upper-level family hall. Their published areas include different combinations of balconies, air-conditioning ledges and void space.
When comparing homes, look beyond the headline floor area. Check the usable dimensions of the study, furniture positions, circulation around the kitchen and the relationship between bedrooms and bathrooms. For a duplex, consider how the stairs and split-level arrangement would work for the household’s daily routine.
The launch brochure also describes app-linked door locks, parcel notifications and an audio-video intercom. Ask which functions are currently supported, how new residents receive access, and what visitors or delivery drivers need to do on arrival.
Rangoon Road and the Farrer Park surroundings
The location offers a useful contrast between a small residential building and the larger developments around Farrer Park. Connexion, above Farrer Park MRT station, combines Farrer Park Hospital, a medical centre, One Farrer Hotel and ground-floor retail at Owen Link. These are facilities in a separate development, rather than amenities belonging to The Ranz.
City Square Mall provides another established destination in the surrounding area. Its official directions identify Farrer Park MRT Exit I as the mall’s rail access. For residents planning errands or meeting visitors, choosing the appropriate station exit and street route is more useful than relying on a single advertised walking time.
The neighbourhood also has a history beyond its present buildings. National Heritage Board material records the opening of Singapore’s racecourse at Farrer Park in 1843. The grounds later became associated with a wider range of sports, and the Farrer Park name followed the racecourse’s move to Bukit Timah. This is background to the surrounding district; it does not establish that The Ranz stands on the former racecourse site.
Transport and everyday use
Farrer Park MRT is on the North East Line. Before a first visit, check the route from the selected exit to 109 Rangoon Road, including the crossings and the final approach to the residential entrance. Confirm drop-off and parking arrangements with the host if travelling by car.
Homes above shops call for a close look at how residential and commercial activity meet. During a viewing, check entrance separation, delivery and refuse arrangements, and the conditions experienced inside the apartment at different times of day. Shop occupancy and operating hours can change, so current observations matter more than assumptions about future tenants.
What to confirm before moving in
Confirm the building’s current occupation status and the relevant completion documents. The sources reviewed do not establish an actual TOP date, and launch-era forecasts should not be treated as proof of completion.
Check the specific apartment’s approved plans, included fittings and alteration rules, together with current parking and shared-facility provision. Use the Rangoon Road project address for visits; a management correspondence address elsewhere is not the destination for a viewing.
