What does it take to scale from a single rented house to becoming Singapore’s largest co-living operator with nearly 5,000 keys?

We sat with Eugene Lim, Founder and CEO of The Assembly Place (TAP), for an unfiltered conversation about bold pivots, gritty beginnings, and building a real estate business with purpose.

In this episode:

From broke uni student to building a 20-year real estate career
Why co-living is more than just renting rooms
How TAP is expanding into regional markets like KL and eyeing global hotspots like Japan and London
The strategic shift from operator to asset co-owner
Fundraising, building lean with tech, and the road to a potential SGX listing

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or just curious how the co-living model works behind the scenes, this is one founder story you won’t want to miss.
