Shorea Capital has teamed up with Cover Projects to unveil The Initial Sama, a 92-key serviced residence at 26 Evans Road, Singapore, focusing on wellness and holistic living. The collaboration sees Shorea Capital leading the investment structuring and funding, whilst Cover Projects manages the architecture, interior design, and daily operations.
Located in the heritage district of Bukit Timah, The Initial Sama integrates wellness into its design, offering both short- and long-stay serviced flats. The property includes coworking lounges and Sama Wellness, an in-house centre providing recovery, prevention, and holistic health services. Guests can access spa and therapy rooms, sports diagnostics, and mental wellness consultations, all aimed at promoting a balanced lifestyle.
Lim Keong Wee, Managing Director of Cover Projects, stated, “The Initial Sama represents a new generation of hospitality—where wellness, design, and purposeful living come together seamlessly.”
Eugene Teo, CEO of Shorea Capital, added, “We recognise the growing demand for differentiated and innovative spaces to respond to evolving lifestyle and health-focused needs.”
The Initial Sama, which opened in July 2025, is now welcoming residents seeking a wellness-oriented living environment. This project marks a significant step in redefining urban hospitality by prioritising community, flexibility, and well-being.
