Purpose built workers and student accommodation – that’s what we’re going to talk about on the segment today.
Headquartered in Singapore, our guest Centurion Corporation owns, develops and manages quality specialised accommodation assets.
This includes Purpose Built Worker Accommodation in Singapore and Malaysia, and Purpose Built Student Accommodation across Australia, South Korea, the UK and the US.
