1953

Fronted by a row of restored heritage shophouses standing along Balestier Road, 1953 is a six-storey freehold mixed-use development, comprising 14 commercial strata units and 58 residential units. Its architecture seeks to achieve a dynamic relationship between modernity and polished antiquity, allowing residents to experience city living as well as the quaint nostalgic charm of 1960s Singapore.

The Old and the New

Responding to the essence of the neighbourhood, the project adopts the blueprint of the original shophouses, where merchants in the 1960s would set up their businesses on the ground level, and the family residence on the upper storey.
