About Parc Emily
A History Of Heritage And Culture
Steeped in Singapore’s culture and heritage, the area around Parc Emily was populated with terrace homes, bungalows, and schools in the early days. Home to the Istana, where British governors resided, it was a prosperous neighbourhood where affluent families and officials elected to build their homes. Many of Singapore’s famous landmarks that were integral to Singapore’s culture, entertainment and education were also erected in the vicinity.
In 1852, St. Joseph’s Institution, one of the first free public schools in Singapore, opened its doors in the building that currently houses the Singapore Art Museum. The National Library, the first public library in Singapore, shifted to this area in 1877, offering literature to the masses. Further down, Singapore’s first skyscraper and public space to be air-conditioned ushered in a new era of entertainment to Singaporeans in 1939. The 16-storey Cathay Building housed restaurants, luxurious flats and a renowned cinema. With such a long and illustrious history, it is not surprising that the area’s unique mix of Colonial and Asian architecture is unlike anywhere else.
The Buzz Of A New City Hub
Today, the area around Parc Emily exudes a quiet charm that perfectly contrasts the frantic downtown bustle. With numerous arts, culture and education developments underway, the Bras Basah, Bugis, and Rochor areas are enjoying a new lease of life. Significant historic buildings will be restored to retain the strong local identity of a district rich in multi-ethnic influences. At the same time, art stalls, street performances, creative lifestyle shops and outdoor markets will transform the entire sector into a vibrant entertainment hub.
This will also be the future home of the new National Library and city campuses of the Singapore Management University and LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts. They will form an intimate student and artist enclave in Singapore with artist workshops, galleries, and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
A unique melting pot of arts, education and heritage, this area is set to become Singapore’s version of New York’s Times Square. Revel in a vibrant, peaceful, dynamic nerve centre, intimate yet energetic.
