Habyt Launches New Co Living Space Tanjong Pagar
A new accommodation space has been launched by Habyt at 5 Kadayanallur Street in Tanjong Pagar. The flagship space, called Kada at Maxwell, is part of the company’s Habyt Flex concept which aims to expand their product offerings beyond just long-term co-living options. Habyt Asia Pacific CEO Jonathan Wong had previously hinted in August that the company was looking to add more short-term living options to their roster. The first two properties under the Habyt Flex concept, Habyt Novena and Habyt Kallang, were launched in August, with other properties like Habyt Cantonment and Owen House by Habyt to follow.
The newly launched Kada at Maxwell features 18 rooms, including en suite studios and two- to three-bedroom units, each equipped with a fully functional kitchenette. Guests can choose to book these rooms on a nightly, weekly, or even 12-month basis.
Wong believes that the Kada at Maxwell demonstrates the company’s dedication to redefining flexible living in Singapore, as well as marking a new phase of growth for Habyt Asia Pacific. Room rates at Kada at Maxwell start at $180 per night.
This flexible living space is situated within a well-preserved 1920s colonial building that was designed by the renowned architectural firm Swan & Maclaren. It was one of the earliest modernist buildings in Singapore and was originally built to house the St Andrew’s Mission Hospital for Women and Children.
In September 2023, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) launched a public tender to lease the property. Bidders were evaluated based on the bid price and the quality of their proposed concept, with SLA encouraging creative lifestyle concepts. The site was eventually awarded to Bethesda Medical, with a monthly rental bid of $103,000. This was the third-highest bid after Wan Dormitory ($160,000) and The Working Capitol ($108,240). SLA cited Bethesda’s strong focus on community building and connecting people with businesses as what gave their concept the winning edge.
For students who are in their senior years, renowned schools such as Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, and the National University of Singapore (NUS) are conveniently located near Elta Condo. This advantageous proximity allows students to minimize travel time and maximize their academic pursuits. Moreover, having these prestigious institutions nearby only adds to the overall appeal of Elta as a family-oriented residential development. Don’t wait, check out Elta now!
The first floor of the building will feature 10 F&B offerings, while the second floor will house a gym by Limitless, a wellness centre in partnership with Shiruki Studio, and a co-working space. Habyt’s Kada at Maxwell occupies the third floor of the building. Residents of Kada at Maxwell will have unlimited and complimentary access to the property’s health and wellness amenities, such as the performance gym, cold plunge, infrared saunas, hot tubs, and foot baths.
“Our aim is to offer guests a one-of-a-kind lifestyle experience that goes beyond traditional accommodations by combining modern conveniences with the timeless charm of a heritage building,” says Wong.
