From Peace to Progress: One Sophia & The Collective Rise Where Peace Mansion & Peace Centre Once Stood
In the heart of Singapore’s vibrant District 9, a new chapter unfolds on the site of the iconic, yet formerly fading, Peace Mansion and Peace Centre. Now, under the banner of One Sophia, a modern mixed-use development promises to redefine the urban landscape with a unique blend of luxury living, dynamic workspaces, and a thriving retail space known as The Collective At One Sophia.
Where Memories Fade, a New Vision Emerges
Peace Mansion and Peace Centre once served as bustling hubs, echoing with the laughter of shoppers and the hum of commerce. However, with changing times, their energy diminished, leading to their en bloc sale in 2021. Now, instead of the familiar façades, the site stands ready for an exciting metamorphosis.

Under the leadership of a joint venture comprising CEL Development, Sing-Haiyi Crystal, and Ultra Infinity, One Sophia rises as a testament to Singapore’s spirit of innovation. With a total gross floor area exceeding 600,000 square feet, this visionary development will offer:
- Luxurious apartments: Boasting breathtaking city views, these elegant residences promise an unparalleled standard of living.
- Premium office spaces: Designed to cater to the evolving needs of businesses, these spaces will foster collaboration and innovation.
- A curated selection of retail shops and restaurants: Offering a diverse array of dining and shopping experiences, this vibrant mix will cater to every taste.
Beyond Bricks and Mortar: Fostering a Thriving Community with The Collective
One Sophia goes beyond mere bricks and mortar. It is a vision for a thriving community, one where residents, businesses, and visitors can connect, collaborate, and grow together. This vision finds its heart and soul in The Collective At One Sophia, a unique initiative designed to foster a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
The Collective At One Sophia is not your average community space; it’s a dynamic platform for connection, creativity, and well-being. It will offer:
- Shared workspaces: Equipped with modern amenities and adaptable layouts, these spaces cater to the needs of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote workers.
- Lush green havens: Community gardens and rooftop terraces provide residents and visitors with opportunities to relax, connect with nature, and enjoy outdoor activities.
- Versatile event spaces: From workshops and seminars to social gatherings and cultural events, these spaces will be the stage for diverse community-driven activities.
- A platform for creativity: The Collective At One Sophia will host art exhibitions, artist talks, and workshops, promoting cultural appreciation and inspiring artistic expression.
- Living sustainably: One Sophia embraces eco-friendly practices, including rainwater harvesting, waste reduction programs, and energy-efficient technologies. The Collective At One Sophia will play a crucial role in promoting environmental awareness and encouraging sustainable living.
A Beacon of Progress, Rooted in the Past
One Sophia and The Collective At One Sophia are not simply replacing the memories of Peace Mansion and Peace Centre; they are building upon them. They represent the evolution of a vibrant district, honoring the past while embracing the future. This development stands as a testament to Singapore’s unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community building.
As One Sophia takes its place on the city’s skyline, The Collective At One Sophia will become its beating heart. It will be a space for connection, creativity, and shared purpose, offering a vibrant canvas for residents, businesses, and visitors to paint a new chapter in the heart of District 9.
