Asia Pacific Hospitality Newsletter – Week Ending 12 September 2025

Coliwoo, the co-living division of Singapore-based LHN Limited (“LHN”), has received conditional eligibility for listing on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) Mainboard. The approval, granted on 9 September 2025, is valid for three months, during which time LHN is required to meet all SGX listing conditions, including pre-quotation disclosures and the submission of necessary documentation. As of June 2025, Coliwoo’s portfolio comprises approximately 2,960 rooms, with an occupancy rate of around 97.2%. This move comes amid several recent developments under LHN’s co-living strategy, including the award of a tender for a state-owned site at Jalan Loyang Besar for a 382-key Coliwoo-branded resort chalet, the opening of the 24-key Coliwoo Hotel Kampong Glam in May 2025, and the divestment of its former co-living hotel in Geylang. The SGX listing would allow Coliwoo to raise capital independently, supporting its plans for expansion and strengthening its position in the co-living sector.
