Rochor Centre- History and Background


Shops at the first 3 floors and
the residential area starting from 4th flor
A unique housing estate built and completed in 1977. There are a total of 4 blocks in Rochor centre, with over 180 shops in the first 3 floors, ranging from provision shop, beauty salons and even consultancies. However, Rochor centre is not an ordinary flat. Many photographers have taken shots of it due to its distinctive appearance and unique design. Unlike other flats in Singapore, Rochor centre has a void deck situated not at the 1st floor but at the 4th floor. The void deck is surrounded by all the 4 blocks, hence it creates a sense of unity and promotes bonding in a subtle way.
