Welcome to 64 Club Street, a versatile and purpose-built social impact hub that encourages creativity and community engagement through collaboration. Supported by the JL Family Office, this transformative space was unveiled just last week, and it’s already making waves.
A Vision of Education, Empowerment, and Wellness
In a world that’s constantly changing, the need for collective action and shared initiatives is more apparent than ever.

This tranquil room is designed to promote mental and physical well-being in various ways, adapting to the user’s needs. It’s a safe space where individuals can find balance and recharge amidst the bustling Chinatown district.
A Symbol of History and Community
64 Club Street was once the Pondok Peranakan Gelam Club, a community club for the Bawean Malay community. It served as a communal home for Baweanese immigrants in the 1930s, relying on the gotong-royong spirit, or community support. Residents formed a close-knit community that supported one another in adapting to life in Singapore. The pondok became a hub for educational, social, and recreational activities. Today, 64 Club Street retains its historical significance while embracing contemporary design, blending tradition and modernity, and capturing the essence of Singapore’s cultural heritage.
A Collaborative Social Impact Hub for Upcoming Generations
64 Club Street heralds a new era of collaborative empowerment among social service organizations with a shared goal of uplifting Singaporean youth. This versatile space encourages interorganizational partnerships and cross-pollination of ideas, enabling them to collectively execute initiatives that will positively impact Singapore’s youth for generations to come.
