Our Beginning
REDAS has a unique beginning. Founded in November 1958 by a small group of visionary real estate developers who felt the need to band together as a fraternity to raise standards and promote best practices, the Association was then known as the Singapore Land & Housing Developers’ Association.
As the Singapore economy continued to grow, housing developers extended their activities to building industrial, commercial and retail spaces. In 1977, the association changed its name to Real Estate Developers’ Association of Singapore (REDAS) to further strengthen its foundation of building public trust, improve standards, and promote design quality for the betterment of the real estate industry.
