Kampong Glam: A New Living Heritage

Kampong Glam is known as a cultural and historical zone. The area covers from Beach Road and Crawford Street (North Bridge Road) to Rochor and Selegie. It is also well known for its conservation area, especially for the conservation shophouses which are mostly used for commercial purposes.

Besides commercial, residential areas are also plentiful in the district. It has been observed that Kampong Glam’s investment outlook for the mid to long term will be boosted by plans to develop Beach Road as well as the Ophir-Rochor area into a district of mixed-use projects.
