Golden Wall Centre enjoys excellent accessibility being located at the doorstep of Rochor MRT station on the Downtown Line and within 400 metres to Little India MRT interchange, connecting the Downtown and North East Lines.
The property occupies a prominent corner plot with a 180-metre triple frontage boasting high visibility along the main thoroughfare of Rochor Canal Road, as well as Short Street and Albert Street.
Situated within the Beach Road/Ophir-Rochor Corridor which is envisioned to be a vibrant mixed-use cluster under Master Plan 2014, Golden Wall Centre stands to benefit from the ongoing rejuvenation and transformation of the area.
