The Habyt Flex concept debuted with the launch of Habyt Novena, offering 39 rooms, and Habyt Kallang, offering 27 rooms. Other properties under this concept include Habyt Cantonment and Owen House by Habyt.
Kada at Maxwell offers a variety of room types, including en suite studios and two- to three-bedroom units, all equipped with a kitchenette. Guests have the option to book rooms on a nightly or weekly basis, with a 12-month option also available.
