More Than Just Construction: WEE HUR Continues to Evolve into a Multi-Asset Investor

Wee Hur Holdings has long been established in Singapore’s built environment, tracing its roots back to 1980.

It is evolving into a dynamic multi-asset investment house, leveraging its deep real estate heritage to explore new avenues for growth.

From purpose-built student accommodation (Australia) to purpose-built workers accommodation (Singapore), Wee Hur is adding education and hospitality assets now.

The mainboard-listed company announced two major initiatives recently.

#1 Education: Co-ed school in Hougang

Wee Hur's foray into the high-quality education sector is a landmark partnership to establish the Wycombe Abbey School (Singapore).

Wee Hur is partnering with Wycombe Abbey, one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious independent schools, and BE Education, the latter's international partner.

Wee Hur's core contribution lies in providing deep local roots and proven development and construction capabilities.

It aims to realise the school as a best-in-class education facility.

Scheduled to open in September 2028, Wycombe Abbey School (Singapore) will be a K–12 co-educational day school situated on a prime site along Hougang Avenue 3.

This project secured entry for Wycombe Abbey into Singapore’s ecosystem of international schools after winning the 2024 Request-for-Interest (RFI) launched by the Singapore Economic Development Board.

#2 Hospitality: Robertson Quay Debut

Complementing its investment in education is an expansion within the hospitality sector.

Wee Hur has taken a significant minority stake in a new fund managed by Aravest, which recently acquired the former Hotel Miramar Singapore for S$160 million (about S$465,100 per room).

This marks Wee Hur’s first hotel investment, with its subsidiary Wee Hur Property acting as a development partner in the asset.

Wee Hur Property is bringing development and construction capabilities to this collaboration.

The 344-key riverfront property will undergo extensive revitalization of guestrooms and meeting spaces, and enhancements will introduce new amenities, including a kids’ club and pickleball courts.
