Detailed Project Overview
The Phoenix Park redevelopment is set to become Singapore’s largest co-living site, representing a bold step for TAP and TS Home in the community living sector. The site’s transformation will integrate:
- Wellness Facilities: Including fitness studios, spa retreats, mindfulness spaces, and green outdoor areas designed for holistic wellbeing.
