Originally known as “Salat” Road, which meant “straits” in Malay. Salat Road was so named as it led to Keppel Harbour, known as Silat until 1819. Interestingly, Neil Road was also known as “Goo Chia Chwee Sia Lor”, which means “steep street of Kreta Ayer”. Part of its rich history includes a period where it was part of a nutmeg plantation owned by Dr Montgomerie. It was later changed to Neil Road as a tribute to the late Colonel Neill of the British empire. Neil Road is notable for its rows of culturally conserved shophouses. The first shophouse conservation project by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) stands proudly at 9 Neil Road. Another fun fact, 147 Neil Road was owned by the grandfather of the late PM Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Hoon Leong, where the late PM Lee lived for a few years. Sol is excited to be a part of Neil Road’s legacy and hope to be something Neil Road will be known for in future.

he founders of Sol had many great memories in the area of Tanjong Pagar, and we have always wanted to make this place our home. With the dwindling number of shops resulting from the COVID-19 situation, Sol is extremely honoured to be given a chance to carry on the legacy of Tanjong Pagar and its nightlife. Reflecting its origins as a former fishing village with many kelongs, Tanjong Pagar in Malay means "Cape of stakes". The legend, however, was that the fishing villages were constantly under attack by shoals of swordfishes. This led to the Sri Maharaja building a barricade of banana stems along the coast, which successfully trapped the attacking fishes as soon as they leap from the waters. Due to the favourable terrain and soil conditions, early settlers focused mainly on agricultural activities such as nutmeg farming. Some of these owners included Mr Tan Tock Seng and Charles Spottiswoode where their last names are all street names along the road of Tanjong Pagar. Tanjong Pagar also played an essential role in the development of Singapore's transport node. In the early 1900s, the Jinrikisha Station was built along with Neil and Tanjong Pagar Road, serving as a critical depot for rickshaws - an essential means of transport back then. As the 20th century emerge, Tanjong Pagar started to be more urbanised, where commercial and housing began to develop and the emergence of the shophouses we still see today. Politically, Tanjong Pagar is also known as the electoral district where the late PM Lee Kuan Yew was serving as the longest Member of Parliament (MP) for 60 years. Since then, Tanjong Pagar has changed drastically. Now, it has become an essential part of the Central Business District (CBD), filled with a mixture of enthralling developments from Residential to Food & Beverages. With its distinctive evolving blend of contemporary and traditional architecture, Tanjong Pagar's importance as a heritage landmark is eternal, and Sol is proud to play a part in continuing it! As Sol always believes in, go to the people and the places that set a spark in your soul. Come to Sol and relive your best days. Help us, find you a home with us at sol.
