Occupancy rates in Singapore are above 95 percent because there is an influx of demand for co-living spaces, according to <\/span>CNA<\/span><\/a>. The demand is driven by locals seeking temporary accommodation while waiting for their new homes to be completed and foreigners returning to the Lion City for work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heartland districts have seen record-breaking increases in rental costs of Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats. For private housing, some have expressed dissatisfaction about rental costs that have gone up as much as 70 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a trend that we don’t see (just) for co-living, it’s actually across the industry. So we actually did increase the rates to be aligned with the market,\u201d said Genevieve Khua, area manager of Lyf. Rent will increase by 20 to 25 percent, according to the co-living provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, co-living operators are able to provide better rates because they are more fixed and cost pressures are evenly spread. Moreover, these have company policies on room rates, whereas landlords each have their own expectations and requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, <\/span>JLL <\/span><\/a>reports that hotels are gradually being turned into co-living spaces and are geared towards those looking for cheaper alternatives residential conversions and high rental growth potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LHN Group in Singapore has invested USD65.5 million over the last three years into its Coliwoo co-living brand. Its latest two Amber Road properties were also converted to co-living units.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hotels are the preferred alternative for asset conversion, especially in Singapore and Hong Kong, due to lower taxes on the purchase of hospitality assets compared to residential assets, which are subject to higher transaction taxes that reduce investment returns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several hotel conversions into co-living buildings, where private rooms are given together with communal common areas, have taken place in both markets.<\/span><\/p>\n
