Habyt launches new flexible living space in Tanjong Pagar
A public tender to rent the real estate, now managed by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), was released in September 2023. The tender was evaluated based on the bid price and the top quality of the proposed concept, and SLA urged bidders to think about inspired way of life ideas.
“By blending contemporary conveniences with the ageless beauty of a heritage building, we’re offering guests a special lifestyle experience that goes beyond typical accommodation,” includes Wong.
Kada at Maxwell will likely use a series of openings, involving en suite studios and two- to three-bedroom units. Each unit has a completely set up kitchenette. Guests can book spaces on a nightly or every week basis, with a 12-month choice even offered.
SLA mentioned Bethesda’s solid focus on community building and connecting people with businesses as what gave its strategy the winning edge. The first floor is going to include 10 F&B offerings, whilst the second level will house a gym by Limitless, a wellness center in partnership with Shiruki Studio, and a co-working space. Habyt’s Kada at Maxwell is on the third floor.
The flexible space lies within a preserved 1920s colonial building. The three-storey structure, created by the architectural company Swan & Maclaren, was one of the very first modernist structures in Singapore. It was constructed to house the St Andrew’s Mission Hospital for Women and Children.
Habyt has recently introduced a new accomodation space at 5 Kadayanallur Street in Tanjong Pagar. The 18-room Kada at Maxwell is the flagship space for the operator’s Habyt Flex approach, which offers a strategic expanding of the firm’s product offerings past long-term co-living.
In August, Habyt Asia Pacific CEO Jonathan Wong signalled that the company was trying to include more short living selections to its local listing. The first properties within the Habyt Flex concept are the 39-room Habyt Novena and the 27-room Habyt Kallang, both released in August. Other properties under the Habyt Flex concept include Habyt Cantonment and Owen Residence by Habyt.
Locals of Kada at Maxwell will enjoy unlimited and courtesy access to the property’s health and well-being features, including the performance gym, cold plunge, infrared saunas, hot tubs and foot baths.
The site was awarded to Bethesda Medical, which sent a monthly rental quote of $103,000, the third-highest proposal cost after Wan Dormitory ($160,000) and The Working Capitol ($108,240).
Wong says Habyt Kada at Maxwell speaks for the company’s commitment to redefining flexible living in Singapore and notes its shift towards the next step of growth for Habyt Asia Pacific. Room rates at Kada at Maxwell is going to start at $180 per day.
