About
The Area
Up-and-coming Balestier
Set to Create Buzz
Recognised
for its strong heritage value
and distinctive old world
charm, Balestier was
identified as one of
Singapore’s identity nodes
under the Identity Plan in
2002. The recent award of the
hotel site at Balestier Road
will further serve as a
catalyst for the rejuvenation
and transformation of the
area.
A
treasure trove of cultural and
architectural references,
Balestier Road offers a
compelling blend of old and
new with more than 160 years
of history. The juxtaposition
of heritage shophouses from
the 1800s with new buildings
tells of its significant past
and vibrant present.
Balestier
has evolved over the years and
many of us associate the area
with its numerous lighting
shops, hardware and home fi
ttings shops, and shops
selling delicious local fares
such as Bak Kut Teh and Tau
Sar Pia.
The
area is rich in history, home
to an interesting mix of
conserved shophouses built in
the 1840s, and monuments such
as the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang
Memorial Hall. The Hall is a
national monument that pays
tribute to Dr Sun Yat Sen, the
father of the 1911 Chinese
Revolution.
Since
the release of the Identity
Plan in 2002, URA has studied
the Balestier area and
gazetted many conservation
buildings in the area as part
of the Old World Charm
conservation proposals. Today,
about 150 shophouses have been
gazetted for conservation.
First of its kind – a
hotel within a park
Balestier
will be further transformed
with the recent sale of the
hotel site at Balestier Road
to HH Properties in August
this year.
With
excellent frontage along
Balestier Road, the hotel site
is just a stone’s throw away
from the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang
Memorial Hall. A unique aspect
of this future hotel
development is a 0.46 ha
public park named “Zhongshan
Park”, to be built and managed
by the developer.
This
unique integrated hotel-park
development is the first of
its kind in Singapore and is
intended to celebrate its
connections to the rich
cultural history and
architecture of the Sun Yat
Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall. It
will add character and variety
to the hotel mix in Singapore
which is part of the
government’s tourism effort in
enhancing visitors’
experience.
Given
the strong cultural and
historical significance,
visitors interested in
discovering more about
Singapore’s cultural heritage
may visit the Sun Yat Sen
Nanyang Memorial Hall and
Zhongshan Park and stay at the
Balestier Road hotel nearby to
complement their cultural
experience.
All
these are part of URA’s
planning initiatives to
facilitate a unique integrated
hotel and park development to
kick start the rejuvenation of
the Balestier area.
Landmark development that
adds to Balestier’s vibrancy
The
sale of the 1.77 ha site
provides the opportunity for a
distinctive contemporary hotel
that integrates seamlessly
with the Zhongshan Park and
synergises with the Sun Yat
Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall and
the surrounding heritage
shophouses. The unique
landmark development at this
site will add to the vibrancy
and enhancement of the
environmental quality of the
greater Balestier area.
A
public event space will also
be provided within the
northern corner of the
Zhongshan Park. This event
space will form part of the
pedestrian network for the
area and serve as a gathering
place for the staging of
events and activities that
will activate and enhance the
vibrancy of the park.
To
further enhance visitors’
experience to area, URA also
has plans to improve the
walkways and landscaping in
the neighborhood.
