Bukit Merah, Planning area in Central Region, Singapore
Bukit Merah spans 14.34 square kilometers across eleven subzones, including Alexandra, Bukit Ho Swee, and HarbourFront, forming a residential and commercial district.
The area's name originates from the 14th century when its red lateritic soil marked the location where maritime trade flourished during the Kingdom of Singapura.
The district maintains strong connections to Singapore's heritage through its traditional markets, local food centers, and the preservation of older housing estates.
Multiple MRT stations, including Redhill and Tiong Bahru, connect residents to Singapore's transportation network, while VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre provide shopping options.
The Singapore General Hospital complex occupies a significant portion of Bukit Merah, making it a central medical hub for the entire nation.
