Kallang Bahru is a subzone within the planning area of Kallang, Singapore, as defined by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). This subzone is bounded by Bendemeer Road and Sungei Whampoa in the north; the Kallang River in the east; Kallang Road and Sims Avenue in the south; and Lavender Street in the west.
"Kallang Bahru" is also the name of a two-way road in the area. This road connects the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) in the northeast with Lavender Street in the southwest, with major junctions located at Geylang Bahru and Boon Keng Road. This road is unique as it is one of the few roads in Singapore to have a name without any generic element. The name of the subzone was derived from this road.
The subzone of Kallang Bahru consists mostly of industrial and office developments. Notable places include the Kallang Delivery Base of Singapore Post, Aperia Mall and Victoria Wholesale Centre. Bendemeer MRT station along the Downtown Line is located within this subzone.
