If there is one place in Singapore that is worthy of your investment, it would in Orchard Road. Orchard is very famous for its wide range of leisure, recreational, entertainment and gastronomically satisfying facilities. It was actually tagged as the “Shopping Mecca” of Singapore!
Discovering Orchard
Orchard stretches 2.5 kilometer from Tanglin Road to Dhoby Ghaut. It was named after the blooming orchards and plants that existed in the area many years ago. Today, this area is very vibrant and lively. It is filled with shopping malls, hotels, health care facilities, cinemas and even residential condominiums (low rise or high rise). Yes, URA has injected the area with both mixed and residential developments to keep its life flowing day in and day out!
The urban design of Orchard is carefully planned for years. It was aimed to radiate great connectivity and unmatched accessibility. People working or living within the area can move around without any hassles. They can access MRT Stations and expressways (Central Expressway) in just a few minutes walk or drive! They can also go from one building to the other, through sheltered pedestrians, without the need to battle with fast moving cars or buses.
Embassies are well concentrated in Orchard Area. Some of them include The Japanese Embassy, Embassy of Ireland and The Royal Thai Embassy. Luxurious clubs (e.g. Tanglin Club and American Club) and prestigious schools (local and international) are also rampant in the area. Those are some of the reasons why Orchard is very famous to expats.
