Convinience at Your Doorstep

One Sophia is located on the site of the former Peace Centre / Peace Mansion. It is at the vibrant crossroads of Selegie Road, Middle Road and Sophia Road and conveniently close to four MRT, Bencoolen, Rochor, Bras Basah and Dhoby Ghaut which are linked to Downtown, North East, North-South, and Circle line. This visionary project is meticulously crafted to become the new iconic landmark in the Civic Distric.

​

For many, the Civic District holds fond memories as a place abuzz with actvites, thanks to the schools, bookstores, cinemas, hawkers, and nightlife that thrived there in the past. In the 1990s, recognizing that both Bras Basah and Bugis possessed many eclectic elements that contributed to Singapore’s unique and distinctively Asian identity, URA embarked on a revitalizaton program to rejuvenate the two districts into a heritage, arts and learning enclave. New commercial developments such as office buildings and shopping complexes were introduced while historically significant buildings were conserved.

 

Today, the Civic District is referred by URA as a “treasure trove of cultural and architectural references”, marked by its compelling blend of old and new architecture. The precinct continues to retain its unique identity and charm, enhanced by the existence of renowned educational institutions and arts groups as it did in the past.
