The Co-Living Landscape in Numbers
Singapore's co-living market has expanded steadily since 2017, driven by an influx of foreign professionals and a growing preference for flexible housing arrangements among younger residents. The sector now counts more than a dozen active operators, with rental rates spanning from SGD 600 to well above SGD 5,000 per month depending on location, room type and service tier.
According to industry reporting, the market is projected to grow at roughly 12% annually through 2028, as new properties enter districts like Tanjong Pagar, Bugis and Orchard Road. For tenants, the appeal is straightforward: utilities bundled into a single bill, furnished interiors, lease terms starting at three months rather than the standard one-year minimum in the traditional rental market.
