INDULGE IN THE RARE CHANCE TO LIVE, AND WORK, IN SINGAPORE'S ICONIC SHOPHOUSES
INDULGE IN THE RARE CHANCE TO LIVE, AND WORK, IN SINGAPORE'S ICONIC SHOPHOUSES
Conservation Homes was founded in 1995 by me and inspired by my father William S.H. Goei and brother Alan. My personal fascination with Singapore's iconic shophouses and the happy laidback days of my childhood motivated me to start this venture.
Growing up, these architectural gems were a constant feature in my life. I have fond memories of visiting my mother's friend who inspired the iconic play "Emily of Emerald Hill," passing by the many formerly grand shophouses on my way to school and picking up my father after ballet at his shophouse office in Telok Ayer Street. However, in the 1970s, these charming long-terraced houses began to be replaced by towering skyscrapers. I wanted to preserve these historical homes from disappearing forever from my memory.
Working closely with award-winning architects and consultants, we've developed a sensitive but practical approach to conservation. Our efforts have won us the URA Architectural Heritage award for 59-61 Kim Yam Road in 1999 and again in 2003 for 153 Neil Road.
As a deliberately small and hands-on team, we provide tenants with personal attention that large corporations can't match. Over the years, we've met many friendly and kind tenants, which has been one of the biggest perks of my job.
While high-rise apartments are commonplace in the city, our heritage homes offer a rare opportunity to experience Singapore's local flavor firsthand. We believe that if given a chance, you'll agree with us.

“I was impressed by their thoroughness as well as personal touches like remembering birthdays. Whenever some aspect of the property required attention, the management and staff had been responsive and diligent. I was particularly grateful for their flexibility during the time I was vacating the property where there were many activities to coordinate. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm as a high quality professional property management organization.”
