new and lyf-ly way of living

In Singapore’s fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape, one thing that is making a mark is coliving. Unlike traditional renting or leasing of a space, co-living offers more than just private space but also a lifestyle that combines private living space with shared amenities for more sustainable living.

Genevieve Khua, the country director for lyf, a coliving player, explains that co-living in Singapore is important for several reasons. Firstly, the small city-state faces a lack of affordable housing options near prime locations and co-living bridges that gap easily. Furthermore, with the sky-high property prices and cost of living, especially for foreigners, co-living allows for flexibility and cost savings whilst maintaining the same kind of lifestyle. Additionally, co-living promotes social interaction opportunities that are often limited in urban settings; this is something that is greatly beneficial for foreign residents.

Currently, lyf has three properties including lyf Funan, lyf Farrer Park and the newly opened lyf one-north. The response from guests has been very positive with lyf properties having an occupancy rate of 85%. This indicates that the competitive pricing and unique offerings of the co-living concept is being flourished by travellers and residents alike.

No matter the length of stay, localities or purpose for stay, lyf’s hybrid accommodation model caters to varied needs. This is done in two ways: strategic locations and socializing. lyf one-north offers the perfect mix of a sanctuary location that is peaceful yet just a stone’s throw from bustling city hubs. At the same time, guests get to enjoy the many amenities to foster relationships and exchanges. Some of these include shared kitchens, lounges and co-working spaces. Moreover, the regular social activities and events promote the opportunity to network, learn and grow.

It draws thousands of commuters daily. Tengah EC is located right next to the MRT station, conveniently connecting commuters to their destinations. Apart from the sustainable features, it will also have a number of recreational amenities such as a swimming pool, basketball court, and a multipurpose court. This way, there will be plenty of activities for the residents to enjoy in their leisure time. Tengah EC is sure to be a breakthrough in eco-centre living in Singapore.

In the spirit of sustainability, lyf one-north has introduced an end-of-trip facility that includes bicycle lots and showers to encourage an eco-friendly approach. The property has also received the Building and Construction Authority’s Green Mark Gold PLUS certification, attesting to its energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction points. Designed by Woha Architects, the two tower building structure is connected by link bridges to facilitate a healthy and community-building environment. Not only that, lyf one-north also works with bike-sharing service Anywheel and car-sharing service GetGo to offer exclusive discounted rates for residents.

Ultimately, co-living in Singapore offers an attractive choice for those looking for an affordable cost-effective and community-centric living experience. With its combination of amenities, location, sustainability commitment and an exciting line-up of in-house social events, lyf one-north might just be the key to the ideal urban lifestyle.
