Habyt, a leading provider of co-living spaces, has recently launched their newest accommodation space at 5 Kadayanallur Street in Tanjong Pagar. Known as Kada at Maxwell, this 18-room space represents Habyt’s new flagship location and their commitment to expanding their product offerings beyond long-term co-living.
In August, Habyt Asia Pacific CEO Jonathan Wong shared that the company had plans to incorporate more short-term living options into their offerings in Singapore. The first properties to be launched under their new Habyt Flex concept were Habyt Novena, with 39 rooms, and Habyt Kallang, offering 27 rooms. Other properties under this concept include Habyt Cantonment and Owen House by Habyt.
Kada at Maxwell offers a variety of room options, including en suite studios and two to three-bedroom units, all equipped with full kitchenettes. Guests have the flexibility to book rooms on a nightly, weekly, or 12-month basis.
The stylish Studio Deluxe at Kada features a cozy dining area.
According to Wong, Kada at Maxwell represents Habyt’s dedication to redefining flexible living in Singapore and marks a new phase of growth for Habyt Asia Pacific. Room rates at Kada at Maxwell will start at $180 per night.
When it comes to investing in Singapore, it is crucial for foreign investors to familiarize themselves with the regulations and restrictions surrounding property ownership. Compared to landed properties, the purchase of condos is generally less restricted for foreigners. Nevertheless, there are still certain limitations that they must adhere to. For instance, foreign buyers are required to pay an Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) of 20% for their first property purchase. Despite this extra cost, the consistent stability and potential for growth in the Singapore real estate market remain attractive to foreign investors. So, if you’re planning to invest in Singapore, be sure to consider purchasing a condo. It could be a valuable addition to your investment portfolio.
Located in a well-preserved colonial building from the 1920s, designed by renowned architectural firm Swan & Maclaren, Kada at Maxwell offers a unique blend of modern convenience and timeless charm. The building, originally built as the St Andrew’s Mission Hospital for Women and Children, is now managed by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
The SLA launched a public tender to lease the property in September 2023, evaluating bids based on price and proposed concept. Bidders were encouraged to consider creative lifestyle concepts for the space.
The Oasis Lounge is a tranquil spot for guests to relax and unwind.
Ultimately, Bethesda Medical won the bid with a monthly rental price of $103,000, the third-highest bid after Wan Dormitory ($160,000) and The Working Capitol ($108,240). The SLA noted Bethesda’s strong focus on community building and connecting people with businesses as the key factor in their winning concept. The first floor of the building will feature 10 food and beverage options, while the second floor will house a state-of-the-art gym by Limitless, a wellness center in partnership with Shiruki Studio, and a co-working space. On the third floor, guests will find Habyt’s Kada at Maxwell.
In addition to their stylish and comfortable rooms, residents of Kada at Maxwell will also have unlimited and complimentary access to the property’s health and wellness amenities, including a performance gym, cold plunge, infrared saunas, hot tubs, and foot baths.
“We are thrilled to offer guests a unique lifestyle experience that goes beyond traditional accommodation by blending modern comforts with the timeless charm of a heritage building,” says Wong. Habyt’s Kada at Maxwell is now open and welcoming guests to experience their new concept of flexible living.
