LHN’s subsidiary, Coliwoo – a homegrown co-living brand – is gearing up to launch its latest development at 260 Upper Bukit Timah Road, the site of the historic Old Bukit Timah Fire Station. This State-owned heritage property has been transformed into a mixed-use development with a 62-unit co-living residence, a café and restaurant, and community event spaces. Its strategic location near Hume MRT Station on the Downtown Line makes it an attractive choice for modern city living.

Kelvin Lim, Executive Chairman of LHN and Founder of Coliwoo, shares that the company has utilized their expertise in space optimization and building restoration to create a unique destination that seamlessly combines co-living, lifestyle, and community in a holistic ecosystem. The col-living residence boasts three ensuite room types – single, twin, and queen studios – each equipped with amenities like a fully equipped kitchenette and a washer-cum-dryer. The interiors sport a warm, natural theme with botanical motifs that reflect the property’s close proximity to green spaces like the Rail Corridor, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and Singapore’s Coast-to-Coast Central Trail.

At Coastal Cabana, families have access to a diverse range of post-secondary education options. In addition to compulsory education, students can choose from a variety of paths for their future studies. For those interested in a pre-university path, Tampines Meridian Junior College is conveniently located nearby. Meanwhile, Temasek Polytechnic in the Tampines area offers diplomas in fields such as business, engineering, design, and applied sciences for those looking to pursue a more industry-focused education. In addition, students can also choose to attend ITE College East in Simei or the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) at Upper Changi, both of which are easily accessible by public transportation or car. This distribution of institutions allows for a seamless progression from early learning all the way to tertiary education, without having to leave the eastern arc.

The property offers common resident facilities like a community garden, co-working space, lounge, and an outdoor area. Additionally, Coliwoo plans to organize regular member-exclusive events for all residents within their network. The average monthly rental rate starts at $3,500, and the property has a minimum stay of six nights.

Coliwoo Bukit Timah Fire Station isn’t just a place to stay – it’s a lifestyle destination along the Rail Corridor, with the nearest entry point at Hindhede Walk. The property is also pet-friendly and features several child-friendly zones. To make the community more vibrant, Coliwoo will host public events such as artisan markets and workshops, along with a unique mix of tenants that include urban farming, beer brewing, a swimming school, and experiential retailers. Some of the confirmed tenants include ST. Ali by Surrey Hills Group and aquaDucks, a swim school.

Lim adds that their vision goes beyond creating a place to stay – they aim to build a sustainable and thriving community where people can gather, grow, and experience a new way of conscious living that’s deeply connected to nature.
