About Ville Royale
Ville Royale is a small freehold condominium at 310 and 312 River Valley Road in District 9 (Orchard, River Valley). It was completed in 1993 and has 43 units in low-rise blocks of up to four storeys. Property directories list the developer as Starlite Land Development Co Pte Ltd, a Far East Organization company.
The estate sits on about 4,798 sq m of land. That is nearly the same plot size as some 100-unit projects nearby, so it is lightly built for its location. Facilities include a swimming pool, wading pool, gym, sauna and a squash court. It remains an occupied strata development.
Interesting facts
Ville Royale uses two street numbers, 310 and 312 River Valley Road, with postal codes 238351 and 238352.
At four storeys it is one of the lowest private estates on this stretch of River Valley Road, where newer towers reach 36 floors.
About the area: by 1880 the streets north of River Valley Road had become a middle-class enclave of bungalows and terraced houses, laid out on the former Oxley nutmeg estate.
About the area: St Nicholas Flats, built in 1921, was among the first low-rise apartment blocks in River Valley, so walk-up living here has a history of more than a century.
