The multi-disciplinary project’s food and beverage outlets, featuring acclaimed chefs Keirin Buck, Bjorn Shen, Mirko Febbrile, will also progressively open their doors starting in May
The Lo & Behold Group has big plans for 2024, made apparent when it announced last October that it would be transforming the former Nan Chiau High School into a lifestyle enclave this year. Set to be a multi-disciplinary space that celebrates homegrown brands—from food and beverage, retail, wellness, entertainment, education, arts, and culture to even a serviced apartment concept—New Bahru is slated to open in the second quarter of 2024.
For the uninitiated, the hospitality giant boasts an eclectic portfolio, owning the likes of three-Michelin-starred restaurant Odette, Michelin Bib Gourmand-rated The Coconut Club, natural wine bar Le Bon Funk and Tanjong Beach Club. This sizable project spanning 20,156 square feet was done in collaboration with Sunray Group Holdings, and will debut in May with the intention of carrying on the spirit of the former school’s legacy. This will see the gathering of some of the best talents and creative entrepreneurs from Singapore and beyond.
