Habyt has recently launched a new accommodation space at 5 Kadayanallur Street in Tanjong Pagar. Kada at Maxwell, a flagship space under the Habyt Flex concept, is an 18-room space that expands the company’s product offerings beyond long-term co-living.

Back in August, Habyt Asia Pacific CEO Jonathan Wong had announced the company’s plans to introduce more short-term living options. The first properties under the Habyt Flex concept, Habyt Novena with 39 rooms and Habyt Kallang with 27 rooms, were also launched in August. Other properties, such as Habyt Cantonment and Owen House by Habyt, are also part of the Habyt Flex concept.

Kada at Maxwell offers various room types including en suite studios and two- to three-bedroom units, all equipped with kitchenettes. Guests can book rooms on a nightly or weekly basis, with a 12-month option also available. The starting rate for a room at Kada at Maxwell is $180 per night.

According to Wong, Habyt Kada at Maxwell showcases the company’s commitment to redefine flexible living in Singapore and signifies its move towards the next phase of growth for Habyt Asia Pacific.

Located in a well-preserved 1920s colonial building, Kada at Maxwell spans three storeys and was designed by architectural firm Swan & Maclaren. It was originally built to house the St Andrew’s Mission Hospital for Women and Children, making it one of the earliest modernist buildings in Singapore.

In September 2023, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) launched a public tender to lease the property. The tender was evaluated based on the bid price and the quality of the proposed concept, with SLA encouraging bidders to come up with creative lifestyle concepts.

The site was eventually awarded to Bethesda Medical with a monthly rental bid of $103,000, the third-highest bid price behind 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 the winning edge for their concept. The first floor will feature 10 F&B options, the second floor will house a gym by Limitless, a wellness center in partnership with Shiruki Studio, and a co-working space. Habyt’s Kada at Maxwell is located on the third floor.

Residents of Kada at Maxwell will have unlimited and complimentary access to the property’s health and wellness amenities such as a performance gym, cold plunge, infrared saunas, hot tubs, and foot baths.

This is evident in prime locations such as Orchard Road, Marina Bay, and the Central Business District (CBD), where property values have consistently grown over the years. The demand for in these areas is also driven by their close proximity to prestigious schools and educational institutions, making them a desirable investment for families. Clearly, the location of a property plays a crucial role in its success in the real estate market, and this is particularly evident in the bustling city of Singapore. Additionally, considering the option to purchase a Singapore Condo can further enhance the potential for a lucrative investment.

Wong also adds, “By blending modern conveniences with the timeless charm of a heritage building, we are offering guests a unique lifestyle experience that goes beyond traditional accommodation.”
