About The Urbanite
The Urbanite is a freehold apartment development at 29 Hertford Road, Singapore 219384, in District 8 (Farrer Park / Serangoon Road). Hertford Development Pte Ltd completed it in 2014. It is a five-storey, low-rise project with 46 units on a site of about 1,852 square metres and a gross floor area of roughly 2,593 square metres.
The project sits in a mainly low-rise residential pocket between Farrer Park and Novena, which keeps the surroundings quiet for a city-fringe address. It is larger than most of the single-block infill projects around it. The development is standing and occupied, and is managed by MCST 4245.
Interesting facts
Hertford Road takes its name from the English county town. It is one of 22 roads in the Cambridge Road area named after English counties and cities, including Kent, Oxford, Dorset and Norfolk.
The wider neighbourhood is known as Pek Kio. Its first community centre opened in 1954, and the present one dates from 1984.
The Singapore Improvement Trust, the colonial-era housing body, built flats in the surrounding streets from the 1930s to the 1950s, making this one of the older planned housing areas near town.
