Sago Lane is situated in Central Area. Sago Lane is located near to South bridge road.  This place is known for its modern architecture and commercial facilities that is developed in recent years. It is also one of the most developed parts of Singapore so people often find difficult to get empty properties here to own. Apart from being a commercial hub, Sago Lane is also known for its green environment but the infrastructure for growing natural beauty was not present during the reconstruction times.

During the time of 70s, when whole Singapore was under construction, people and the civil authority of this area fought with administration to build an eco-friendly environment. Authorities of Singapore finally got their demand approved and now, there are many small and medium size parks and garden opened for locals. These parks are one of the many soothing places in Singapore which attracts visitors from all over the country. Due to its vibrant eco-friendly environment, Singaporeans wants to own or construct their own property in this place. Since then, this place has been under constant demand for houses and commercial plots. Well, people not only enjoy greenery in this place but also, get muchcloser proximity to numerous facilities and the “New bridge Road”. Due to its close proximity to main highway, people face no issue of traffic jam and air pollution. Plus the transportation service is far better in this area in compare to other areas of Singapore.

Since 1995, there has been a rapid rise in building new apartments for welcoming people to live and get the commercial centres running on full-fledge. That is reason many people who are working in the commercial centres in Sago Lane are mostly staying in this area. This has affected the local architecture as new modernized apartments have taken over and overshadowed the traditional ones. Well, things started to change in 2005, when Singapore administration gave power to local authority to build new apartments as per traditional style and promote the culture of Singapore rather than emphasizing on west. Since then, there has been a perfect balance between local architecture and modern facilities. There are mosques, Buddhist temples and tourist spots as well as large malls, shopping complexes and fine-class restaurants.
