From Secret Past To Mega-Hub: 2 Moulmein Road Is Being Reborn As Singapore’s Next Dempsey In 2027!
Heritage, Playgrounds, And Pet-Friendly Cafés: Everything Families Need To Know About The Novena Area’s Brand New Lifestyle Destination (Opening 2027).
There’s a massive, mysterious, 91,000-square-meter plot of land in the heart of Novena that’s about to shed its century-old, slightly spooky past and transform into Singapore’s most exciting family and lifestyle hub. If you love the sprawling greenery and chic, repurposed heritage of Dempsey Hill, get ready—because the same visionary team is tackling their next iconic project at 2 Moulmein Road.
Once known as the historic Middleton Hospital and later the Communicable Diseases Centre (CDC), this site, with its 40+ state-owned buildings, is trading its clinical history for cafés, pickleball courts, and playgrounds. Slated to open in Early 2027, this is the essential hub parents and families will be flocking to!
Key Highlights for Families & Lifestyle Lovers
The transformation of 2 Moulmein Road is a huge win for the community, promising a multi-generational destination that perfectly integrates its heritage architecture with modern amenities.
