The Assembly Place (TAP) is a co-living startup based in Singapore, founded in 2019. [1] [2] [3] [4]

History

The Assembly Place was founded in 2019 starting with six rooms, and was the first co-living operator in Singapore to cover a full spectrum of accommodation spaces. [5] [6] [7] In 2021, TAP raised S$5.55 million (US$4.1 million) in a seed funding round led by Eric Low See Ching, Oxley Holdings' executive director and deputy CEO. [8] [9] TAP's portfolio comprised 60% management contracts and 40% straight leases. [9] Also, in 2021, The Assembly Place was awarded Best Co-Living Space at the Asia Property Awards. [10] [11]

In March 2022, TAP acquired Liberto, the operator of Commontown Singapore's co-living spaces. This acquisition included all of Liberto Commontown's assets, head leases, and sub-leases, totalling approximately 120 rooms across 10 locations. [12] [7] [13] In September 2022, TAP opened a co-living hotel, The Assembly Place at Mayo, refurbishing the former Mayo Inn. In November 2022, TAP launched its first co-living hostel, featuring 31 rooms and 180 beds. [14] [15] In October 2023, TAP launched its largest co-living space, Campus by the Assembly Place. This space, targeted at students, includes 426 beds and has over 100,000 square feet, with more than 20 facilities. [16] TAP has signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with 14 educational institutions, including James Cook University and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). [5]

In August 2023, TAP won a tender from MOH Holdings in a joint venture with TS Group to retrofit buildings into housing for 1,800 foreign healthcare workers across five sites. [17] [18]
