Far East Orchard Limited (“Far East Orchard”) is a real estate company with a lodging platform that aims to achieve sustainable and recurring income through a diversified and balanced portfolio. Established in 1967, Far East Orchard has a proven track record in real estate development, investment, and management across residential, commercial, hospitality, and Purpose-built Student Accommodation (“PBSA”) in Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom (“UK”).
Listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange, Far East Orchard is also a member of Far East Organization, Singapore’s largest private property developer.
Following a strategic transformation in 2012, the Group expanded into hospitality management and invested in healthcare real estate. In 2015, it diversified its portfolio to include the development and investment of PBSA properties in the UK.
In 2023, Far East Orchard celebrated a decade of partnerships in the hospitality business with The Straits Trading Company Limited and Toga Group, Australia. Its hospitality arm, Far East Hospitality, together with the joint venture, Toga Far East Hotels, now owns more than 10 assets and manages over 100 properties with more than 17,500 rooms in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Switzerland, across 10 distinct brands.
Far East Orchard's PBSA portfolio comprises over 3,700 beds across key cities in the UK, with three developments underway in Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester. Upon completing these projects, the portfolio will exceed 4,700 beds across 16 properties.
In 2024, the Group acquired a 49% stake in Homes for Students ("HFS"), a leading UK PBSA operator managing over 50,000 beds. This acquisition, along with the establishment of a private student accommodation fund, further strengthens the Group’s position in the UK market. With HFS, the Group’s total portfolio now exceeds 55,000 owned and managed beds.
The Group also owns purpose-built medical suites for lease and sale in Novena, Singapore’s premier medical hub.
