Experience the captivating blend of history and modernity in Tanjong Katong, a neighbourhood that gracefully evolved from a maritime hub to a picturesque residential haven. The name of this neighbourhood is rooted in Malay, signifying the point where the now-extinct Katong sea turtle species once dwelled. Today, Tanjong Katong seamlessly marries the old and the new with its quaint cafes and street art that coexist alongside its heritage architecture, creating an ambiance where history blends harmoniously with contemporary dynamism.
Beyond aesthetics, Tanjong Katong offers access to an exceptional lifestyle, as it’s a mere 10-minute walk from the iconic East Coast Park, providing an opportunity to indulge in leisurely strolls and picnics by the pristine shoreline. A 15-minute bus ride away is the Geylang Serai Market and Food Centre, which is a bustling market home to traditional Malay foods and cultural goods. This market is especially vibrant during the festive seasons.

Although most of our members are in their thirties, we also host many members in their forties, fifties and sixties! Rather than our biological age, what really matters are our shared values of cultural awareness, diversity and authenticity.
Not so much - this is Figment’s vision of shared housing for grown-ups - that's mature working professionals. We aren’t here to slice and dice apartments into matchboxes just to stuff as many 'tenants' as possible into a building, adult-dorm style. With Figment you always have room to breathe.
You can socialize as much as you want to, but you also reserve the option to retreat to the quiet comfort of your private studio within a spacious 3000ft² shophouse.
