Singapore's first creative cluster, New Bahru, will change the city's culture. The Lo & Behold Group and Sunray Group Holdings are developing this dynamic centre at 46 & 58 Kim Yam Road in River Valley, which will open gradually in May. New Bahru, derived from the Malay word "Bahru," meaning "new," represents Singapore's dynamic spirit of innovation and community.
Managed by Wee Teng Wen, the visionary behind The Lo & Behold Group, New Bahru aims to be more than just a destination; it's a journey of discovery. The project breathes life into a lovingly refurbished school building, offering an escape from conventional malls. Visitors can explore without a plan, immersing themselves in a day filled with inspiration from the diverse New Bahru community, its products, and programming. It's a place for locals to take pride in and for tourists to marvel at, promising to reshape perceptions of local talent.
New Bahru's tailored approach makes it appealing by highlighting unique ideas and promoting community. All community brands push boundaries, working with top design firms like Hjgher, Wynk, and Parable. Dearborn, Beyond The Vines Design House, soilboy, Morning, and Kiztopia Prestige offer captivating flagship stores and engaging experiences.
Alma House is an 83-key serviced apartment designed by FARM Architects to complement shops and F&B. Alma House smoothly combines old-world elegance with modern amenities, drawing from the former school's legacy. Local brands and craftspeople in New Bahru enhance the Singaporean experience.
As New Bahru evolves, it continues to intrigue with pop-up programming and events across its iconic spaces. From the playful Lawn to the nostalgic School Hall, there's always something new to discover. Mark your calendars for the New Bahru Open House on June 22nd and 23rd, a collaborative effort with cultural advocates at PPURPOSE. Dive into a weekend of thought-provoking installations, family-friendly activities, and the much-anticipated GREEN-HOUSE 2024, celebrating local sustainable brands.
New Bahru, where innovation and community shape Singapore's culture, is where creativity thrives.
