Block 55 Lengkok Bahru was built in 1966 and has been used as a rental block ever since then up till today. Again it is one of the largest blocks in Singapore by dwelling units with 420 flats. Blocks 56-59 (partially visible to the right of block 55) were all also completed in 1966 and never used as anything other than rental flats.
