A bird's eye view of New Bahru

New Bahru breathes fresh life into the former Nan Chiau Girl's High School campus, a site rich with local heritage dating back to the 1940s. Originally established by the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan, the school played a pivotal role in educating generations of students before relocating in the 2000s.

Today, this storied campus has been transformed into New Bahru, a creative cluster that celebrates local culture, craftsmanship, and community. The revitalised space now houses homegrown brands across food, retail, art, wellness, and design.
