About Trio
Trio is a freehold commercial building at 11 Sam Leong Road, Singapore 207903, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park, Serangoon Road). It is a strata-titled development of shops and restaurants on four floors, with two basement levels of parking. It was built by a consortium led by TEE Land, now Amcorp Global, with partners that launch material lists as KSH Holdings, Heeton Homes, Futuris Holdings and Zap Piling.
The project has 43 units, made up of 15 restaurant units and 28 shops. Launch material names P&T Consultants as the architect and gave an expected completion of mid 2019. Amcorp Global lists the project as completed. Today it works as a small neighbourhood mall of eateries, services and offices tucked behind Jalan Besar, a short walk from Mustafa Centre.
Interesting facts
Sam Leong Road was called Paya Road until 1928, when the Municipal Commissioners renamed it after Ong Sam Leong (1857 to 1918), a businessman who held the contract to supply labour to the phosphate mines of Christmas Island.
His sons opened New World on Jalan Besar on 1 August 1923. It was the first of Singapore's three big amusement parks and ran until 1987. City Square Mall now occupies the site.
The old name Paya, Malay for swamp, is a reminder that this side of Jalan Besar was once low, wet ground before it was filled and built over.
Jalan Besar, at the end of the street, is lined with conserved shophouses from the early 20th century and falls within a URA conservation area.
