Ascott to open 17 lyf properties by 2025

The new properties will expand the lyf portfolio to 3,000 units worldwide.

CapitaLand Investment's lodging business unit, The Ascott Limited (Ascott), has expanded its lyf portfolio with the addition of 17 properties.

The expanded portfolio includes the newly opened lyf Mid-Town Hangzhou, the first lyf-branded co-living property in China. It also secured a management contract for its second lyf property in Thailand, lyf Riverside Bangkok. This follows hot on the heels of Ascott's recent acquisition of its first lyf property in Europe, livelyfhere Gambetta Paris, through its private fund, Ascott Serviced Residence Global Fund, in June 2021.

CEO for lodging Kevin Goh said, "Ascott constantly innovates to position us for the future, designing products that not only provide unique experiences to customers but also create greater value for our business partners and investors. Our award-winning brands, including lyf, demonstrate our capabilities and commitment to deliver quality real estate assets that our sponsored hospitality trust, Ascott Residence Trust (ART), and our private fund, ASRGF, can invest in."

lyf or 'live your freedom,' is a lodging concept designed for next-generation travellers. The apartments, social spaces and experiential programmes at lyf properties are designed for guests to forge connections and nurture a strong sense of community.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
