A loft apartment usually refers to a spacious and adaptable open area, often converted into residential usage (also known as a converted loft) from some other use, often industrial use such as factories or warehouses.

Loft apartments are the perfect rental option for singles, whilst Figment’s furnished apartments are large enough to accommodate couples and co-sharing friends.

Most loft apartments do not come with condo facilities, although some may offer basic features such as a barbecue area and pool. We'd argue that most of the amenities that come with Figment's lofts extend into the neighbourhood with liveable surrounds and great coffeeshops and bars just a short walk away.

You can find loft apartments in various conservation buildings around Singapore, including apartment blocks and shophouses. These buildings are usually located in prime liveable areas such as Joo Chiat and Tiong Bahru. These locations tend to be amenity-rich and convenient to access.

According to the Council for Estate Agencies, to rent property in Singapore, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. Non-citizens may rent if they hold an employment or work permit like an S-pass, a student pass, dependent pass or long term social visit pass. That said, even with foreigners holding legal residence, the problem is that most Singapore landlords may not be too pleased with a month-to-month lease agreement and would typically require at least a 1 or 2 year contract. Figment provides a much-needed. flexible alternative for loft apartment rentals with flexible lease terms and a 1-month notice period.
