Public records and press references state that the site reopened as a co-living space in 2019 and was Hmlet’s largest Singapore property at the time, with about 150 rooms across two blocks. The property retained parts of the older building fabric, including original staircases, windows and grilles, while adding shared facilities such as kitchens, lounge areas, outdoor seating, a plunge pool and spaces for resident activities. It was suitable for students, interns and young professionals who wanted furnished accommodation with a community element. The important update is that Hmlet Cantonment has since been renamed Habyt Cantonment following Hmlet’s merger with Habyt.
