    [SINGAPORE] Co-living spaces and serviced apartments tend to follow the bright lights of the city centre. Josh Hu, Aw & Sons Capital’s managing director, has taken them into Singapore’s heartlands instead. 

    His latest project, Mber Co-Living & Serviced Apartments, sits along Upper Serangoon Road, in a neighbourhood better known for its mature housing estates and old-school shophouses. 

    The site was once home to Lim Tua Tow Market. Today, it is a 125-unit purpose-built hybrid of co-living spaces and serviced apartments, complete with communal work and social spaces, wellness facilities and F&B offerings.
