The Assembly Place to open AI-powered co-living site in Geylang

ETC secured a 15-year tenancy agreement for the Lorong 22 Geylang property.

The Assembly Place will operate a new co-living site at 27 and 29 Lorong 22 Geylang after ETC secured a 15-year tenancy agreement for the dual-block development.

ETC acted as the exclusive marketing agent for landlord Char Yong (Dabu) Association, advising on the property’s positioning, tenant sourcing, and lease negotiations. The tenancy agreement includes an option for a further five-year renewal.

The property comprises about 26,889 square feet of gross floor area across two adjoining buildings in the Aljunied-Geylang precinct.

27 Lorong 22 Geylang houses private residential walk-up apartments, whilst 29 Lorong 22 Geylang serves as the premises of Char Yong (Dabu) Association.

The Assembly Place plans to introduce about 80 rooms at the site under its flagship AI-powered co-living concept, which will feature intelligent building management and personalised resident services.

The property is expected to be handed over on 1 June 2026, with operations targeted to begin by October 2026.

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.
