A HISTORY OF THE EMERALD HILL ESTATE, SINGAPORE
Emerald Hill, Present to Future
Emerald Hill today is but a few steps off of bustling Orchard Road with its international branded retail offerings and across from high speed train access to all of the island state.
Yet, amongst all the trappings of modern Singapore, the Emerald Hill Estate retains its sense of place and quiet peaceful atmosphere, it is reminiscent of the Nutmeg plantation it once was. Its undulating rows of heritage residences, providing unique accommodations and an iconic, one of a kind, neighbourhood, for those choosing to live here.
The Emerald Hill Conservation Association is dedicated to continually upgrading the conditions within the Estate to a level of ‘liveability’ and ‘peaceful existence’ one would expect in such an important district.
Note: The above history of the Emerald Hill Estate has been referenced from a number of sources, including the publications of Lee Kip Lin, Remember Singapore, National Library Board, National Archives and Wikipedia.
