Coliwoo bags SBR National Business Awards 2024 for flagship property

It strategically locates its properties in city centres near transport hubs to enhance overall convenience for members.

Real estate firm Coliwoo was lauded at the recently held SBR National Business Awards as the recipient of the win in the Property Services category for its successful launch of Coliwoo Orchard, its flagship property and Orchard’s largest co-living residence.

Coliwoo Orchard, a 22-storey property, features an exceptional co-living space that offers holistic living experience for individuals seeking a harmonious blend of work, live, and play. Suitable for individuals, modern local families, and expatriates alike, each room at Coliwoo Orchard comes retrofitted with a queen-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, wardrobe cum personal storage area, vanity, dining table, smart television, and workstation. With Coliwoo's all-inclusive fee, members can also enjoy a hassle-free move-in experience.

Members can also enjoy a full suite of high-end communal amenities such as the swimming pool, children’s pool, jacuzzi, coworking lounge, gymnasium, and BBQ pit without additional charge. These communal facilities are designed with the community in mind, where members from all walks of life can come together to work, play, and form meaningful connections.

Additionally, there is an open plaza conveniently located next to the BBQ pit that can be transformed for member events. For instance, Coliwoo organised a gathering at Coliwoo Orchard for Hari Raya celebration last year, which featured exciting games and a spread of food for everyone to enjoy. In support of the local arts scene, Coliwoo features murals of local artists’ works to inject a distinct local flavour with pops of colour that complement the luxurious studio interiors.

The property leverages its parent company, LHN Group’s expertise in space optimisation to recycle and maximise the utilisation of space resources of old buildings. The units are designed to provide the right amount of space and utilities based on the members’ needs and budgets, with options for shared facilities.

It has also implemented sustainability initiatives throughout its space to minimise carbon footprint. From energy-efficient appliances and solar panels to waste management systems and green spaces, Coliwoo strives to create a sustainable living environment for its members.

In a short span of 5 years, Coliwoo has grown to 17 properties boasting over 1,800 keys and continues to perform strongly with a high occupancy rate. The success of Coliwoo is further underscored by the brand’s core values of adaptability and innovation.

With the returning wave of tourists, international students, expatriates and property cooling measures, there is a demand for temporary housing like co-living. Coliwoo actively seeks to address this demand by aggressively expanding its co-living business and increasing the number of available rooms for rent. Its flexible lease terms further contribute to the ever-increasing demand by allowing members to stay for as short as six nights or up to a year, with the option to extend their stay should their circumstances require it.

“Creating a self-sufficient, fully equipped studio apartment-like environment remains paramount across Coliwoo’s properties as it allows members to experience communal living whilst still having the option to their own private spaces,” the company said. In addition to this, the company also aims to elevate the overall stay experience for members by offering member events and flexible lease terms.
