MIDTOWN MODERN AMENITIES

Midtown Modern Amenities

What comes to mind when you think of living in the city?  It is natural to associate city living with dull and boring concrete buildings, deprived of greenery and nature.  In addition, people may relate city living to be far away from essential amenities such as schools, supermarkets, and children’s playground.  We often have the impression that the city only comes to life during working hours and then ceases to exude life after work.

However, all this is changing as GuocoLand debuts Midtown Modern – an innovative concept of natural resort living in the city.

Convenient Connections At Bugis MRT Interchange 

A notable key benefit amongst Midtown Modern Amenities is the established transport network linking the location to all parts of Singapore.  With Bugis MRT Interchange being located right below the development, residents of Midtown Modern can enjoy great convenience commuting to work, study, or play.  The Bugis MRT Interchange is served by 2 MRT lines namely the East-West line and the Downtown line.  With these 2 MRT lines, residents can enjoy a swift commute to various regional job centers throughout Singapore.

For travel in the Central Business District, Midtown Modern Amenities offers quick travel to offices at Raffles Place and Tanjong Pagar via the East-West line.  Within 3 MRT stops, you will arrive promptly at your workplace without contending with peak hour traffic.  Those working in Suntec City, Marina Bay Financial Centre, and Telok Ayer will discover traveling to work from Midtown Modern is fast and convenient with the Downtown line.  From Bugis MRT, Suntec City and Marina Bay Financial Centre is only 1 stop and 3 stops from Midtown Modern respectively. 

Besides the Central Business District, residents can also enjoy Midtown Modern Amenities which includes a hassle-free commute to the west of Singapore.  The East-West line is ideal for those who are working at one-north, Mediapolis, Biopolis, and other offices at the area as Bouna Vista MRT is only 9 stops away from Midtown Modern.  For those working in Jurong Lake District, Singapore’s second Central Business District, the East-West line offers traffic-free direct commute within 12 stops from Midtown Modern. 

As for those who are working in the East, it is equally easy and fast to commute to Paya Lebar Regional Centre and Changi Business Park via the East-West line.

Leisure Hotspots and Arts Hub 

In addition to proximity to offices in Central Business District, Midtown Modern Amenities offers many famous leisure hotspots close to the development such as Gardens By The Bay, Marina Bay Sands, Fort Canning Hill, and Chinatown.  These iconic landmarks are within a short commute from Midtown Modern via the Downtown Line.

Besides these places of attractions, Midtown Modern Location is unique as it is filled with life 24/7. Located close to major historical districts such as Kampong Glam, Little India, Chinatown, and the Civic District, Midtown Modern sits at the confluence of these famous heritage sites, soaked with a rich cultural atmosphere.  In addition to its cultural legacy, the Bugis-Bras Basah area is home to many renowned arts schools and museums such as the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, the School of the Arts, the Laselle College of the Arts, and the Singapore Art Museum.

Based on URA Masterplan, the Bugis-Bras Basah area will undergo a transformation and in the near future, Midtown Modern Amenities would include a vibrant Arts Hub where it would be filled with events and activities for residents and visitors to enjoy throughout the week.  Well-known streets such as Bencoolen Street, Queen Street, and Waterloo Street will also be transformed into staging grounds and spaces for arts and cultural events for all to participate and enjoy.

Shopping Malls In Close Proximity

Located at the heart of the city, Midtown Modern Amenities would not be complete without a comprehensive list of major shopping malls and retail shops.  Right next to the development is Bugis Junction, a large-scale shopping center that is home to many retail shops and a supermarket to meet all the daily needs of the residents. 

Together with Bugis+ which is located opposite Bugis Junction, both malls have a combined net lettable retail floor area of more than 600,000 square feet.  Bugis Junction is also the first shopping center in Singapore to feature an air-conditioned sky-lit shopping arena surrounded by the façade of historical shophouses, preserving the nostalgic atmosphere of the old Bugis district. 

Besides Bugis Junction, Suntec City is another popular shopping center in Midtown Modern Amenities which is only a minutes walk or 1 MRT stop on the Downtown line from the development.  As one of Singapore’s largest shopping malls, Suntec City features more than 360 retail shops and more than 100 food and beverage outlets for shoppers to enjoy.  For many visitors including overseas guests, the famed Fountain of Wealth is an attraction that cannot be missed!  Besides Bugis Junction and Suntec City, Midtown Modern Amenities also offers another popular retail mall such as Raffles City, Funan Mall, and Marina Square which offers great variety and at close proximity to the development. 

Easy Commute to Renown Schools

As most families in Singapore will seek out the best schools for their children, it is important to highlight some of the top schools from Midtown Modern Amenities.  Sitting above the Bugis MRT Interchange, many renowned schools are conveniently located along the Downtown Line and the East-West line.  From Midtown Modern, the choice of schools include Anglo-Chinese Primary which is near Newton MRT, 3 stops from the Midtown development.
