District 7 Singapore is now a thriving hub for shopping and other economic activities, thanks to its little pockets of arts, culture, and learning. Furthermore, the neighborhood has become a hotspot for residential buildings, with new releases such as DUO Residences, the South Beach development, and the Concourse Skyline, which affords panoramic views of the Waterfront Gardens and the District 7 Singapore Flyer. The new Downtown Line is also nearing completion, and as such, it may view as a revitalization plan with significant potential financial gains that appeal to purchasers.
Golden Mile, Middle Road, Bugis, Rochor, and Beach Road – District 7 of Singapore:
Beach Road, Bugis, the Golden Mile, Middle Road, and Rochor are part of District 7 Singapore. The Beach Road condos, such as City Gate, and the Middle Road HDB and Rochor HDB clusters make up the majority of the properties in this district, with a minor number of residential homes.
Location:
The Bugis MRT, Esplanade MRT, Nicoll Highway MRT, Promenade MRT, and the forthcoming Rochor MRT stations are accessible through the Circle Line, East-West Line, and Downtown Line, making it ideal for those wishing to travel from home to work during the week.
The Historic Beach Road:
Beach Route was once a coastal road that ran parallel to the sea during the early arrival of British colonists, thus the name. According to George Drumgoole Coleman’s 1836 Map of Singapore, it was one of the first roads built in Singapore. Seaside houses rose majestically surrounding this region until the 1870s and 1880s, as envisioned by Sir Stamford Raffles’ 1822 Town Plan, which envisioned Beach Road as the home of European merchants.
Bugis Street, the Shopping Mecca:
Bugis Street was a popular hangout for members of the male-to-female community who worked as sex workers from the 1950s until the mid-1980s. The entire area was booming and filled with merchants and dealers, making it one of ancient Singapore’s most lively commercial zones. The Singapore Tourist Promotion Board promotes it as Singapore’s “big street-shopping area known for its street market, which gets lined with back-alley shops offering all street food, inexpensive apparel, bargain souvenirs, and more.
Middle Road, Rochor, and Bencoolen:
It is where Singapore’s first Hainanese immigrant population landed, contributing considerably to the city’s diversified Chinese culinary menu, including the city’s most famous and internationally recognized meal, Hainanese Chicken Rice. On the recently built Downtown Line (color: blue), Rochor and Bencoolen each have their MRT station, while Middle Street is a short walk from Bugis MRT station.
