We are owner-operators with a real record — we acquire directly, restore to conservation standard, and hold for the long term.

How we work

Acquire. Restore. Hold.

Direct acquisition

We buy heritage shophouses directly from the families who hold them — off-market, in confidence, and we close.

Conservation-grade restoration

Restored to URA conservation standards with award-winning craft. Original fabric — tile, timber, frontage — retained.

Long-term ownership

We hold and steward what we restore. We are owner-operators, not traders or flippers.

Disciplined underwriting

Bank-financed acquisitions, institutional-grade underwriting and in-house conservation project management.

Who we work with

Aligned capital. Patient lenders. Public partners.

Capital partners

Families, foundations and aligned capital co-investing in scarce, conserved real assets — stewardship-first, with long horizons and a clear cultural dividend.

Lenders & credit

A professional, award-winning sponsor holding conserved, scarce assets for the long term — transparent governance and conservative, asset-backed structures.

Heritage & public institutions

Conservation outcomes, adaptive reuse and public access through The Straits Museum — placemaking that returns life to Singapore's heritage streets.

The Straits Pledge

Aligned by design.

"I pledge that half the proceeds from the eventual sale of The Straits Conservancy will go to The Straits Museum — to keep the living culture of the Straits open to all, in perpetuity."

Fang LowFounder, The Straits Conservancy

A long-term mandate, a public-benefit pledge, and a record of conservation — the same alignment partners, lenders and institutions look for.

Governance & standards

Built to be trusted with heritage.

Registered entity

Incorporated in Singapore as Family Collections Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202501654W), founder-led by Fang Low.

URA standards

Conservation work to URA guidelines — recognised by the URA Architectural Heritage Awards.

Charitable pledge

Half of any eventual proceeds are pledged to The Straits Museum.
