Coliwoo forms JV to convert REHAU Building

It will be turned into a co-living asset.

Coliwoo Holdings has entered a 50:50 joint venture with Macritchie Developments to acquire the freehold REHAU Building at 1 King George’s Avenue.

The partners will convert the property into a co-living asset whilst retaining commercial space on the ground floor.

The acquisition extends Coliwoo’s programme of redeveloping commercial buildings into higher-yielding co-living properties. The project will add new keys to the company’s managed inventory once conversion works are completed.

The joint venture structure spreads capital requirements and supports balance sheet flexibility as the group expands its living portfolio.

Coliwoo Executive Chairman and CEO Kelvin Lim said the transaction aligns with the company’s ongoing asset conversion pipeline and adds another redevelopment opportunity to its portfolio.

“With interest rates trending down, we are seeing a significant pickup in investor interest and confidence," added Melvin Chay, senior director, Capital Markets, Knight Frank Singapore. "In an evolving real estate environment, buyers continue to seek value-added opportunities."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
