new and lyf-ly way of living

The Zion Road Condo is aptly located in one of Singapore’s most desirable neighbourhood, and is just a stone’s throw away from both the River Valley Road and Zion Road. For drivers, this provides even more convenience and accessibility through alternative routes leading to major roads like Orchard Road and Alexandra Road. Thus, providing flexible and productive travel options for its residents while decreasing the amount of traffic in the area.

The concept of coliving is revolutionizing the real estate industry in Singapore. lyf, a brand by The Ascott Limited and CapitaLand Investment, has recognized this shift and has already established three co-living properties in the city-state: lyf Funan, lyf Farrer Park and lyf one-north.

Genevieve Khua, country director, revenue management and area manager of lyf, explains that The Ascott Limited’s co-living concept is important for several reasons. “As a small city-state with limited space, there is the constant challenge of providing affordable housing options in prime locations. Co-living addresses this issue by offering strategic locality with shared living spaces, allowing residents to enjoy the convenience without breaking the bank. Not only have property prices in Singapore been soaring, but the cost of living too has followed suit, causing many young professionals, both local and from overseas, to struggle finding an affordable accommodation. Co-living offers a cost-effective solution, significantly reducing living expenses and yet allowing residents to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Its flexibility in terms of rental duration allows residents to adapt according to their changing circumstances.”

Apart from its cost effectiveness, co-living promotes a sense of community and social interaction, which is especially beneficial for foreigners. The lyf concept provides its guests with unique opportunities for connection and networking.

One of lyf’s latest locations is in one-north – a sanctuary perfect for all types of guests, being near the MRT station and close to the city’s business hubs. Despite its distance away from the city, a variety of in-house social events are hosted to foster social interactions among its residents. “While the hardware such as property layout, room size and social spaces is similar [to other coliving players], the ‘heartware’, which is one of our unique selling points, is vastly different. lyf properties are known for their vibrant, dynamic and Instagrammable communal spaces, which foster a sense of community and social interaction among residents.”

Furthermore, lyf’s commitment to sustainability is attracting a growing number of environmentally conscious travellers and residents. To encourage a car-lite lifestyle, lyf one-north Singapore has introduced an end-of-trip facility that includes bicycle lots and showers. Additionally, the facility has also received the Green Mark GoldPLUS certification from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority, indicating its commitment to energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprint.

“Designed by local architectural firm Woha, lyf one-north Singapore boasts features that promote not just beauty but also sustainability. The commitment to sustainability goes beyond just energy conservation, with features like replacing single-use plastic water bottles with water dispensers on every level,” explains Khua.

The response from those opting to stay at lyf properties has been quite positive. The lyf properties have achieved an occupancy of 85%, which indicates that the properties can attract a steady stream of guests with its competitive pricing and unique offerings.

Be it for the young professional looking for a flexible living arrangement, a student seeking a community, or an environmentally conscious traveller wanting a sustainable stay, lyf one-north Singapore may just have the key to the ideal lifestyle. With its excellent blend of community interaction, strategic location and sustainability, lyf is not just providing a place to stay; it is providing a lifestyle to embrace.
