Join the ULI Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) for its annual forum at the 2023 ULI Asia Pacific Summit and share insights around the mindset and actions needed to ensure that the intangible value of the community’s affection for a building is not lost nor sacrificed for smarter, greener, fit-for-purpose assets. 

 

As a tangible case-in-point, delegates are welcome to view the newly launched The Great Room South Bridge, housed in the conserved Eu Yan Sang heritage building within the Telok Ayer conservation area. The building was built in 1910 and housed the first traditional Chinese medicine Eu Yan Sang outlet in Singapore. The building was designed by Alfred Bidwell who was also the architect behind Raffles Hotel and Victoria Memorial Hall.

 

Speakers will share their perspectives about this landmark building being conserved and readapted into a coworking/flexible space, and the challenges they had to overcome to elevate it to meet Green Mark Platinum certification. The programme will include a guided tour of the property and light networking on its rooftop with a view of the entire Chinatown district.
