8 @ Mount Sophia sits snugly beside the Istana and Plaza Singapura. For the uninitiated, the Istana is the Malay or Indonesian word for "palace". In Singapore, it is a ground for the most important ceremonial occasions and state functions.
Prime usage of land surrounds the stately presence along Orchard Road, with the Dhoby Ghaut MRT Interchange leading to Plaza Singapura, a nine-floor urban retail mall and The Cathay Picturehouse, for those passionate about cutting-edge film and international features. The well-reputed Singapore Management University adds dollops of youthful vibrance to a district well-heeled in historical events.
Fort Canning sits just across to the modish malls, unwavering in its historic importance as it still gives a bird's eye view of Orchard Road. Besides, with regular open-air events such as Ballet Under the Stars and World of Music and Dance (WOMAD), Fort Canning Hill complements the cultural interaction of people and venues such as the Singapore History Museum and Singapore Art Museum.
8 @ Mount Sophia offers a tranquil sanctuary with an address so auspicious it only bodes well. Amidst the unwavering buzz of arts and cultural activity, nearby Prinsep Street has cafes and pubs decked in old shophouses of past. Another incentive for those with a sweet tooth has to be the modest yet mouthwatering Rochor Original Beancurd dessert. The coveted 8 @ Mount Sophia is another sell-out project by Frasers Centrepoint Homes.
