Kampong Glam, Bugis and the Streets Around Aurea

Some of the city’s most characterful streets are on foot from Aurea. The Golden Mile Food Centre is about two minutes’ walk away, North Bridge Road Market about six, and the shophouse lanes of Kampong Glam about nine, according to the developer.

Food on the Aurea Doorstep

Golden Mile Food Centre, across the road from the site, is the nearest hawker centre, and North Bridge Road Market adds a wet market and more stalls a short walk further. Bugis Junction and the malls along Victoria Street are a short drive away for larger shopping trips.

Kampong Glam, a Short Walk From Aurea

The developer describes Kampong Glam as a conserved historic district that will be rejuvenated with new community spaces. Its shophouse streets carry cafes, design shops, restaurants and long-established traders, and they sit between Beach Road and North Bridge Road, within an easy evening walk of Aurea.

Bugis, Raffles City and the Malls Around Aurea

For larger shopping trips, Bugis Junction and Raffles City are each about three minutes’ drive from Aurea, Suntec City four and Kallang Wave Mall five. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands are about six minutes away and the Orchard Road shopping belt about eight. The Bugis area also holds the nearest Downtown Line and East-West Line interchange.

Ophir Road, Rochor and the City Beyond Aurea

Between Bugis and the bay, Ophir Road and Rochor Road carry the offices, hotels and malls of the Bugis end of the Downtown Core, all within a short drive or a longer walk of Aurea. The developer’s brochure calls the location “a city in the city”, with Marina Bay, the CBD and Orchard Road all close by. The city transformation guide covers the planned changes that public agencies have published, and the amenities page lists the times for every destination.
