Coliving is a trend making major waves in Singapore’s real estate industry. It’s a lifestyle, combining private living spaces with shared amenities, all under one roof. As a modern solution to increasingly high rents, social isolation, and a need for sustainable living, co-living is proving to be key in Singapore.

Genevieve Khua, Country Director, Revenue Management and Area Manager for co-living player lyf, believes co-living addresses both the cost-effectiveness and convenience of living in a prime location. “As a city-state with limited space, finding affordable housing options is a challenge,” she explains. “Co-living offers a solution with shared living spaces, allowing residents to benefit from the convenience at a reasonable cost.”

The flexibility of rental duration also attracts a variety of demographics, both local and foreign, which increasingly includes business travellers. With competitive pricing and unique offerings, lyf has achieved an occupancy of 85%, indicating a steady influx of guests.

It’s not just about location and pricing, however; socialization in an urban setting is key for residents to feel connected and included. lyf is committed to this with their innovative hardware, which includes communal spaces like lounges, kitchens, and co-working areas. The presence of vibrant, dynamic and Instagrammable spaces encourages residents to socialize and network, while regular social events like cooking classes, workshops, and community service opportunities provide intellectual and creative exchanges.

The lyf property in one-north is an especially attractive location, being close to MRT, business hubs, and far enough from the city centre to provide a tranquil escape. What’s more, as part of their commitment to sustainability, the end-of-trip facility features showers and bicycle lots, while the Green Mark GoldPLUS certification from the Building and Construction Authority promises the property adheres to energy efficiency criteria.

This is all in line with lyf one-north Singapore’s green commitment, which includes initiatives like replacing single-use plastic with water dispensers, guest room management systems to minimize energy usage, and partnering with bike-sharing and car-sharing services to offer exclusive rates.

Designed by local architectural firm Woha, the two towers that make up the facility both promote beauty and sustainability. Artworks by Singapore-based artists add to the local flavour, while the combination of amenities and location makes it the ideal living space for those seeking convenience and a sense of community.

Tampines Avenue 11 Condo is poised to be an up-and-coming business and residential hub in the East. Strategically located in the heart of Tampines, this mixed-used development is just a stone’s throw away from the Tampines East MRT station and Tampines Hub. In addition, residents will be checked by a myriad of established amenities and facilities including schools, shopping malls, and healthcare centres.

With an estimated launch in 2021, Tampines Avenue 11 Condo has been earmarked for an exciting development project that seeks to integrate commercial and residential components into one area. The integrated design goes beyond a regular condominium and offers unprecedented convenience for its homeowners and businesses. The inclusion of a bus interchange, a community club, and a hawker centre, makes it a self-sustaining area, providing all the essential amenities with ample public spaces.

Co-living is much more than just a trend; it’s a long-term solution to modern living challenges. Lyf one-north Singapore is a prime example,with its blend of community interaction, strategic location, and sustainability. It’s a lifestyle to embrace, for the young professional, the student, and the environmentally conscious traveller. Book a room at lyf now and start expericing it for yourself.
