Francis says creativity is paramount for
Koh Brothers Group and a means of
competing against larger rivals. “We can’t
be the biggest developer in Singapore, or
even among the top three, but we can be
perceived as a leading developer in a niche
market. We want people to think of us when
they buy a home. The lifestyle concept and
the quality are important to us and this is
what we can offer.”
Koh Brothers may not be the nation’s
biggest developer, but it has taken on and
successfully completed some truly ambitious
projects, both in the luxury real estate space
and in infrastructure construction. Examples
of its ability to develop architecturally
stunning residential spaces include Lumos,
which comprises twin, 36-storey towers
connected by a spectacular column of crystal
glass ‘living pods’ and lush sky gardens. The
apartments include a range of innovative,
upscale touches such as crystal-studded
bathroom walls, Italian-designed ‘Rainbow
showers’, a penthouse pool with sweeping
views and regenerative hydro baths. Another development,
Starville, features an astral sculpture as a centerpiece and
even a state-of-the-art stargazing observatory for the
residents. Francis says the company’s emphasis on creating
spaces that encourage wellness and a healthy lifestyle sets it
apart. He says Koh Brothers’ developments offer a complete
lifestyle package, often incorporating facilities such as gyms,
swimming and splash pools, and tennis courts. The Parc
Olympia condominium, for instance, facilitates an active,
multi-sport lifestyle for its residents, including recreational
rock climbing walls, basketball and indoor and air-
conditioned badminton courts, a putting green and a skate
park. It is Singapore’s first sports-themed condominium that
marries adrenaline action with resort-style facilities to inspire
and nurture future Olympians.
The sporting facilities are completed with an attention
to detail that extends to the synthetic material used for the
jogging track. “Jogging on hard ground is bad for the knees,
so we created a track with soft ground,” Francis explains.to come“ We want to encourage healthy
lifestyles, because health is wealth.”
