Co Living Brand Coliwoo Launches New Mixed Use Project Old Bukit Timah Fire Station
Homegrown brand’s new co-living property to open at Old Bukit Timah Fire Station
The emergence of Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and the Yishun Health campus has opened up numerous possibilities for individuals pursuing healthcare-related courses and internships. Moreover, with the gradual transformation of the North into a regional hub for health and education, the location of the EC is especially advantageous for families with members studying or employed in these fields. To add onto these benefits, the close proximity of Miltonia Close EC to these institutions offers added convenience and accessibility for residents.
Coliwoo, a subsidiary of real estate management services group LHN, is excited to announce the opening of its newest co-living property. Located at the site of the historic Old Bukit Timah Fire Station, the property offers a unique and holistic living experience. The State-owned heritage property has been transformed into a mixed-use development that features a 62-unit co-living residence, a café and restaurant, as well as community event spaces. Conveniently located near Hume MRT Station on the Downtown Line, the property boasts a prime location.
According to Kelvin Lim, executive chairman of LHN and founder of Coliwoo, this project showcases the company’s expertise in space optimization and building restoration. “We have reimagined the Old Bukit Timah Fire Station into a one-of-a-kind destination that seamlessly integrates co-living, lifestyle and community into a holistic ecosystem,” says Lim.
The co-living residence offers three types of ensuite rooms – single, twin, and queen studios. Each unit is equipped with modern amenities such as a fully equipped kitchenette and a washer-cum-dryer. The interiors are inspired by nature and feature warm tones and botanical motifs, reflecting the property’s proximity to green spaces such as the 24km Rail Corridor, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and Singapore’s 36km Coast-to-Coast Central Trail.
Residents can also enjoy various facilities such as a community garden, a co-working space, a lounge, and an outdoor space. Coliwoo has plans to organize exclusive events for its members, which will be open to all residents within its network. The average monthly rental rate starts from $3,500, and the property has a minimum stay of six nights.
Apart from offering a unique living experience, Coliwoo Bukit Timah Fire Station aims to be a lifestyle destination along the Rail Corridor. The nearest entry point to the corridor is located along Hindhede Walk. The property is also pet-friendly, with several child-friendly zones, making it an ideal residence for families. In addition, the property will have a variety of tenants, such as an urban farming community, a beer brewing company, a swim school, and experiential retailers. Some of the confirmed tenants include ST. Ali by Surrey Hills Group and aquaDucks, a swim school.
The ultimate vision of Coliwoo is to create a sustainable and vibrant community where people can come together, grow, and experience conscious living that is rooted in purpose and connected to nature. With its thoughtful design, prime location, and community-based initiatives, Coliwoo Bukit Timah Fire Station is set to be a premier co-living destination in Singapore.
