Former Peace Centre/Mansion
Former Peace Centre/Mansion is a 99-year leasehold new launch condominium located at 1 Sophia Road.
After a fifth collective sale attempt, CEL Development, Sing-Haiyi Crystal and Ultra Infinity successfully got themselves a deal for the former Peace Centre/Mansion. It is predicted that the development will be a mixed-use development that has unrivalled accessibility. With a S$650m price tag, the unit land rate for the deal is S$1,426 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). Currently, it has the potential to yield 319 strata units.
Being a potential mixed development, residents can look forward to self-contained amenities so that they won’t have to venture out to the hustle and bustle that comes with staying in near the Central Business District (CBD).
The Convenience
Conveniently located in the middle of six MRT stations, residents of former Peace Centre/Mansion may have the option of a 6-minute walk to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station if they need to access the Circle Line, North-South Line or the North East Line. Bras Basah MRT station is also a 6-minute walk away.
Other nearby options include Little India MRT, Rochor MRT, Bencoolen MRT and Bugis MRT, all of which are on the Downtown Line. The Bugis MRT is also on the East-West line.
The Central Expressway (CTE) is the closest highway for drivers and it has easy access to the rest of Singapore. Bras Basah Street and Bukit Timah Road (one of the longest roads in Singapore) are also readily available for motorists who need to get out to other neighbourhoods and heartland areas in Singapore.
Regardless of where you’re headed to, be it to the North, South, East or West, living in an extremely convenient central location of Singapore with multiple public transport networks, you’ll be able to reach the farthest destinations within a short period of time.
