Sturdee Residences is in the heart of a rejuvenated precinct that stretches from Jalan Besar to Kampong Glam, Ophir and Rochor, within the expanding city districts of Singapore. These areas have been earmarked by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore as key areas to be preserved for their historical value while being revitalised for the future.
Jalan Besar will undergo a transformation and emerge as an urbanised district while retaining the much-loved and unique Kampong spirit right in the heart of Singapore. The Ophir-Rochor corridor will be a mixed-use district featuring offices, hotels and residences, connecting the established commercial node at Marina Centre to future developments along Rochor Canal and Bukit Timah Canal. In addition to injecting greater vibrancy into the city, an attractive feature will be generous greenery and landscaping that will enhance the uniqueness of this strategic city fringe area.
