Located in the heart of River Valley at 46 & 58 Kim Yam Road, is a new lifestyle destination by The Lo & Behold Group and joint-venture partner, Sunray Group Holdings. The name (Bahru meaning ‘new’ in Malay) reflects the ambition of bringing together a new creative community and a nod to the city's penchant for repeating words for emphasis.
Set in the former Nan Chiau High School, New Bahru has gathered some of the best local talents across F&B, retail, enrichment, wellness and hospitality under one roof to tell a compelling story of creative progress in Singapore.
