The Assembly Place Holdings Ltd. has introduced its eighth brand, Gather House, marking its entry into the premium capsule hostel market. Following a soft launch in early August 2026, the first phase of Gather House, located at 65 South Bridge Road, has achieved over 90% occupancy and received positive reviews.
Gather House aims to cater to younger, independent travellers by offering competitively priced accommodation without compromising on quality. The hostel will eventually comprise 132 beds across two phases, with the second phase at 63 South Bridge Road pending its Temporary Occupation Permit.
Eugene Lim, Executive Director and CEO of The Assembly Place, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, stating, “The launch of Gather House marks an exciting milestone for TAP as we introduce our eighth brand to broaden TAP’s platform beyond our established co-living offerings and into new segments of the hospitality market.”
The Assembly Place has been expanding its accommodation ecosystem, recently venturing into various segments, including migrant workers’ accommodation and AI-powered co-living spaces. This strategic growth is supported by partnerships with service providers, enhancing the guest experience through curated services and experiences.
With the success of Gather House’s initial phase, The Assembly Place is optimistic about its potential and looks forward to fully developing the hostel to accommodate more guests. The company’s continued expansion reflects its strategy to leverage operating capabilities and project management expertise across the real estate and hospitality sectors.
