Coliwoo Holdings Limited (SGX: W8W) (“Coliwoo” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) today announced that Coliwoo Resort Changi will open its doors this month, marking the Company and Singapore’s first foray into resort-style co-living hotel.
Set on a former state-owned holiday chalet site along Jalan Loyang Besar, the 380-rooms property is Coliwoo’s third-largest, after flagship Coliwoo Orchard and Coliwoo Boon Lay. This marks another successful adaptive reuse project involving state-owned properties, following Coliwoo Bukit Timah Fire Station and Coliwoo Midtown.
Spanning a land area of 380,866 sq ft and a gross floor area of 106,949 sq ft, the property comprises living spaces, commercial spaces and a wide array of multi-purpose amenities. As the Group’s most expansive hospitality development, Coliwoo Resort Changi extends the company’s co-living philosophy into a different register entirely — a sprawling, garden-set co-living community in Singapore’s eastern corridor, built for residents who want nature, community and a sense of escape without leaving the co-living fold.
An Eastern Gateway, Built for a City Escape
Strategically positioned in Singapore’s eastern corridor, Coliwoo Resort Changi pioneers Singapore’s first resort-style co-living destination, serving a diverse mix of international students from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), airline crew members, leisure travellers and corporate professionals. The property enjoys excellent connectivity to Changi Airport, Changi Business Park and the Pasir Ris – Loyang industrial belt, while being just minutes from Pasir Ris Park and Downtown East, offering residents and guests the perfect balance of work, leisure and community living.
Situated near Pasir Ris Park, the property offers easy access to beachside kayaking and cycling, with Downtown East just a nine-minute walk away. It is also equally connected to aviation and business nodes, with Changi Airport and Changi Business Park a mere ten-minute drive away. Moreover, with the upcoming Terminal 5 set to bolster Singapore’s connectivity to the world, the resort is uniquely positioned to capture both immediate commuter demand and long-term multinational growth.
Designed as a tranquil sanctuary that offers an immediate change of pace from city life, the complex draws inspiration from Singapore’s colonial-era bungalows, balancing architectural heritage with modern restraint. A timeless black-and-white palette throughout the communal and private spaces allows the surrounding greenery and the resort hotel roofline to take centre stage, seamlessly blending the landscape with the built environment.
This design language extends into the units; each is tailored to different stay experiences. From spacious Maisonettes for families and groups to private Studio units with open-air settings, every accommodation is thoughtfully equipped with daily living and finished with a restrained palette of stone, timber and muted tones.
The resort pairs these functional living spaces with comprehensive, multi-purpose amenities that span wellness, recreation, and daily utility. Facilities at launch will include:
• Aquatic & Fitness Centres: An adult and kids pool, a jacuzzi pool, a fully-equipped gym, and an outdoor sports court.
• Social & Community Spaces: A reception and co-working lounge, karaoke rooms, kids playground, and outdoor event plazas.
• Green Sanctuaries: Expansive outdoor gardens alongside a dedicated community farming garden.
• Convenience & Dining: On-site convenience shop and food and drinks stall.
Community-First Resort Living
What sets Coliwoo Resort Changi apart from other urban co-living concepts is the community experience made possible by its resort setting. Surrounded by nature, the property offers outdoor programming built around three themes: wellness, social connection, and family.
On the wellness side, the calendar leans into rest and recovery, with sessions like Calm & Clear: Yin + Sound Healing pairing yin yoga with sound healing for deep rest, and Gong Meditation offers a vibrational sound bath for relaxation and mindfulness, while Wellness Raves provide a more energetic expression of wellbeing through uplifting music, movement and shared community experiences.
Socially, residents can enjoy Weekend BBQ Socials in the property’s outdoor spaces, join the Sunrise Social Run Club for weekly guided runs through nearby Pasir Ris Park, or explore nature walks and cycling routes.
Families can look forward to school holiday activities, weekend staycation experiences and outdoor team-building activities designed for quality time.
Looking ahead, Coliwoo is also exploring opportunities with nearby lifestyle and recreational attractions to further enhance the resident experience through exclusive privileges, preferred attraction rates, joint community programming, and curated stay-and-play experiences.
A Former State Site, Reimagined: Adaptive Reuse At Its Core
Once a popular holiday chalet, the roughly 40-year-old property had fallen into disuse before given a second life. Coliwoo’s 10-month-long restoration retains close to 40 per cent of the existing landscape, along with the original terracotta clay tile roofs across the property’s buildings.
Furthering its commitment to adaptive reuse, the resort hotel integrates a robust sustainability strategy. Existing timber screens have been upcycled to create toilet privacy screens, tabletops, benches, planter boxes, and feature walls — a small but deliberate way of carrying the site’s history into its next chapter. Additional green initiatives include solar and rainwater harvesting, food composting, and EV charging parking. The property is also outfitted with energy-efficient light fittings, WELS-certified sanitary ware and fittings, and ceiling fans for assisted cooling to reduce air-conditioning dependency, complemented by a naturally ventilated cafeteria.
“The launch of Coliwoo Resort Changi marks a transformative milestone in our growth trajectory, establishing a brand-new frontier for eco-conscious hospitality in Singapore. Our vision was to honour the site’s rich heritage while engineering a highly integrated ecosystem of sustainable infrastructure and premium communal spaces,”said Mr. Kelvin Lim, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Coliwoo. “This property seamlessly bridges the gap between a tranquil coastal getaway and the high-growth Changi corridor, delivering an eco-conscious, community-first lifestyle for both holidaymakers and corporate professionals.”
