About North Bridge Centre
North Bridge Centre is a six-storey strata commercial building at 420 North Bridge Road, Singapore 188727, in District 7 (Beach Road, Bugis, Rochor). Shops occupy the street level and small offices fill the floors above. EdgeProp records a land area of about 1,990 sq m, a gross floor area of about 8,356 sq m, and a 999-year lease dating from 25 January 1827. It is managed by MCST 3329.
The office units are compact, and the building is popular with small firms, agencies, clinics and training providers who want a Bugis address without the rents of a prime tower. Listings note that it holds a BCA Green Mark certification awarded in 2014. One visitor review mentions steps at the front entrance.
Interesting facts
The land lease began in 1827, just eight years after the founding of modern Singapore, and still has about 800 years to run.
About the street: North Bridge Road was part of the Jackson Plan for the colonial town and was built between 1833 and 1835 under George Drumgoole Coleman, using convict labour.
Hokkien speakers called it Toa Beh Lor, the big horse carriageway. It was the starting point for a numbered naming system that ran inland to Victoria Street, Queen Street, Waterloo Street and Bencoolen Street.
The road runs for about 2.7 km, from the Singapore River area to Crawford Street near Kallang.
Nearby
Bugis MRT (East West and Downtown lines) is about 4 to 5 minutes away on foot. Bras Basah MRT and Esplanade MRT (both Circle Line) are roughly 8 minutes away. The National Library building is a very short walk, as are Bugis Junction and Bras Basah Complex. Purvis Street and Seah Street, close by, are known for Hainanese chicken rice and old coffee shops. Raffles Hotel and the National Design Centre on Middle Road are also close.
