The Assembly Place-TS Group JV bags contract for foreign healthcare workers’ lodging facilities
A joint project between Singapore co-living broker The Assembly Place and TS Group, a contractor of large hotel for international personnels and the elderly, has recently entered into a deal with MOH Holdings to create, retrofit and operate three lodging facilities for foreign health care workers that are unfamiliar to Singapore. The spaces lie at 1A Short Street, 36 and 38 Teck Whye Crescent, and 207 Circuit Road.
” As the holding firm of Singapore’s public medical care institutions, MOH Holdings is devoted to building a supportive setting for our healthcare employees and assuring a maintainable workforce pipeline,” says Deric Liang, deputy chief executive officer, group finance and CFO of MOH Holdings.
The renewed facilities will feature a co-living idea centred around area living. “We know that numerous [overseas healthcare workers] are leaving their home nations for the first time, so it is extremely significant to produce a secure and comfortable environment for them,” states Eugene Lim, owner and chief executive officer of The Assembly Place.
Lim adds that the alliance in between TS Group and The Assembly Place will certainly make use of the previous’s substantial expertise in operating large-scale lodgings sites and the latter’s strength in community-building. “We expect producing meaningful spaces and activities to welcome the medical care practitioners,” he claims.
The accommodation establishment at Short Road is aim to be functional by the second fifty percent of this year, while the other 2 sites will welcome healthcare experts in 1H2025. Jointly, the properties are expected to fit 1,180 overseas healthcare personnels.
He persists: “By partnering with operators to create integration systems, we hope to smoothen the transition for our new healthcare workers to assimilate right into Singapore’s health care system.”
MOH Holdings had already released an inquiry for proposition in August of nin 2023 to appoint an operator to retrofit unused structures and manage hostel-type housing for all new overseas health care employees on five sites, including the areas at 1A Short Street, 107 Circuit Road and 36 and 38 Teck Whye Crescent. 1A Short Street is the location of a previous student hostel, while the latter 2 are spots of former schools.
