Debuting a range of vibrant social spaces and facilities, guests can look forward to new venues to forge connections with each other.

The central business district is also a 15-minute drive away.
lyf one-north Singapore is the second lyf-branded coliving property in Singapore, following the successful opening of lyf Funan Singapore in 2019. It is also the first of two lyf-branded coliving properties to open in Singapore this year; with lyf Farrer Park Singapore slated to receive guests in February 2022. Globally, Ascott has 18 lyf properties with over 3,300 units in 14 cities across nine countries.

Combining the best of serviced residences, hotels and coliving apartments, lyf one-north Singapore will meet the demand of next-generation travellers seeking a unique stay.”
“With the gradual recovery of travel, higher vaccination rates and the introduction of more vaccinated travel lanes, a huge uptick in business travel is expected this year . lyf Funan Singapore, the largest coliving property in Asia, also achieved average occupancy rate of over 85% , outperforming its peers. We are confident that lyf one-north Singapore will perform well and provide a memorable and safe home away from home for our guests,” added Mr Cross.
