Tiong Bahru
Tiong Bahru — 46 developments within a kilometre of Tiong Bahru Market: walk-up apartments on Yong Siak Street, condominiums on Kim Tian Road and Jalan Membina, commercial buildings along Outram Road, and the riverside condominiums of Robertson Quay at the northern edge. Each is listed with its management office contact.
Singapore's first public housing estate
The name is usually read as "new cemetery" — tiong is Hokkien for a grave, bahru Malay for new — after a burial ground that once stood near today's Singapore General Hospital. The Singapore Improvement Trust acquired the land in 1927 and finished its first block in 1936: low-rise walk-up flats in the Streamline Moderne style, with rounded corners, horizontal bands, spiral back staircases and flat roofs that led residents to call them "aeroplane flats". A second phase of larger post-war blocks followed between 1948 and 1954, and the streets were named after Chinese pioneers of the period — Chay Yan, Eng Hoon, Seng Poh, Yong Siak.
Twenty pre-war blocks were conserved by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in 2003, so the heart of the estate will not be redeveloped. That is why most of the private housing in this directory sits around the protected core rather than inside it: small walk-up apartment blocks on Yong Siak Street and Yong Siak View, and newer condominiums on Kim Tian Road, Jalan Membina and Jalan Bukit Ho Swee towards the MRT station.

Getting around
Tiong Bahru MRT Station on the East West Line anchors the western end, beside Tiong Bahru Plaza and Central Plaza. Havelock on the Thomson–East Coast Line serves the northern edge along Havelock Road, and Outram Park, an interchange for three lines, lies to the east.
Everyday amenities
- Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre on Seng Poh Road — a wet market downstairs and a hawker centre upstairs, rebuilt in 2006 on the site of the 1950s Seng Poh Market.
- Cafés, bakeries and bookshops in the shophouses and ground-floor units of the old estate, mostly around Yong Siak Street and Eng Hoon Street.
- Tiong Bahru Plaza and Central Plaza at the MRT station, for supermarkets, banks and clinics.
- A wartime air-raid shelter beneath Block 78 Moh Guan Terrace, built around 1940 — one of the few domestic shelters of its kind that survive.
For families, Zhangde Primary School is on Jalan Membina, inside the neighbourhood; its page lists every development within a kilometre of the school gate.
Who manages the buildings here
The larger condominiums near the station are run by established firms — Central Green Condominium by Savills Property Management and Highline Residences by CBRE, with Chambers Property Management Services also well represented. Many of the small walk-up blocks around Yong Siak Street have only a handful of units and no appointed managing agent; there the management council itself is the point of contact, and the building's own page carries whatever number the directory holds.
What to have ready
The management office will ask for the MCST number and your unit. Blocks inside the conservation area carry an extra layer: works that change a building's exterior — windows, facades, roofs, signage — fall under URA's conservation guidelines as well as the MCST's own renovation rules, so check both before booking a contractor. Parking in the old estate is tight; public carparks with live lot counts are listed on the carparks page, and the wider area is covered on the District 3 page.
