The Ranz

Freehold, city fringe location

The site’s freehold tenure and location within the city fringe, or Rest of Central Region (RCR), as key attractions. The property is just a three-minute walk from Farrer Park MRT Station, with City Square Mall located five minutes away, offering a variety of shopping and dining options.

The site is also well-served by nearby medical facilities, including Connexion, a medical centre integrated with Farrer Park Hospital, and One Farrer Hotel, both within a five-minute walk. Centrium Square, a mixed-use development featuring retail outlets, offices and medical suites, is similarly just a short five-minute stroll from the site.

The original Eng Hin & Co Building sat on two freehold commercial lots at 109 and 111 Rangoon Road, with a combined land area of 5,298 sq ft. The building has been demolished to make way for a new five-storey development, The Ranz, that has recently been topped out and is slated for completion by mid-2025.

The Ranz offers a mix of commercial and residential units. The first level comprises three strata-titled retail units, ranging from 893 sq ft to 1,206 sq ft (2 units SOLD).

The upper floors of the development contain 14 residential units, with the second to fourth floors housing four two-bedroom-plus-study apartments per floor, ranging from 689 to 775 sq ft. The top-level features two luxurious four-bedroom duplexes, measuring 2,357 sq ft (going fast!) and 2,368 sq ft (reserved), each boasting a 5.4m ceiling in the living area.

Situated between two other buildings, ADDP Architects designed a streamlined apartment block that stands out against its surroundings. The façade features a monochromatic palette of rich brown timber for the portal frame, accentuated with coal-grey curtain walls. “This palette harmonises seamlessly with the surrounding neighbourhood,” says Lee Choon Shung, principal architect of ADDP Architects. “It also strikes a balance between a warm, inviting ambience and modern elegance.”
