Piccadilly Grand (Neighbourhood)
There are a number of sites in Singapore that have been named after English counties. This site, however, has particular roads which call to mind an English vibe and can be found. Examples are Worcester, Dorset, Rutland, Norfolk, Kent, Hampshire, and Northumberland.
Little India is a colorful, vibrant neighborhood with an exciting heritage. It’s perfect for those looking to experience both Singapore’s culture and history as well as adventure out on the streets where steeped-in character shophouses await.
This is the perfect place for those who love both old and new. You’ll find that it has a diverse array of historic landmarks, as well as modern conveniences like supermarkets or coffee shops on every corner.
This estate has an excess of hotels and serviced apartments that indicate how much demand there is for rental properties in this area. Examples include Parkroyal on Kitchener Road, Park Hotel Farrer Park, Fortuna Hotel, The Claremont, and the recently completed Lyf Farrer Park with more to come soon!
Piccadilly Grand (Site Plan)
This site was once an open car park. The Piccadilly Grand site is now a thin and longish plot of land at the end of Northumberland Road. The site itself is bounded by Race Course Road on its South-East, Gloucester Road to its North-East, and Farrer Park View HDB flats on its North-West.
These HDB blocks are about the same height, or slightly higher. Since most views in that direction will be blocked by old shophouses on Race Course Roadside however you can still get a great view from some locations here.
Eventually, there will be empty land parcels to the east and west of this site that could eventually be built upon.
The fastest way to get here is via Northumberland Road. It’s a smoother route that will take you all the way into town, with Exit E for Farrer Park MRT Station on either end. Level 1 of Piccadilly Galleria will be joined directly to the station which is very accessible.
The three towers are strategically aligned to catch the most wind and minimize heat from a particular direction. The design of this site has an added advantage in that it provides more privacy for those living there, as they can enjoy views whether looking east/west or up towards the sky on either side; depending on which tower you’re located at!
