1-Group & Hatten Ink Deal for 1-Altitude Melaka Project
1-Group, Singapore’s leading purveyor of lifestyle-hospitality concepts, recently inked the deal for a new partnership with Hatten, one of Malaysia’s top property developers specialising in integrated commercial, residential and hospitality projects. In a ceremony graced by the Chief Minister of Melaka, Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, the pair entered a joint venture to bring 1-Altitude Melaka – a fully integrated lifestyle destination that is set to launch in stages throughout Q3 and Q4 of 2023.
Comprising seven world-class restaurant, bar, café and club concepts, a viewing gallery; and a co-working space, 1-Altitude Melaka sits atop the highest point in Melaka (Hatten City), boasting unmatched views of the UNESCO-listed Jonker Heritage district, the Portuguese village and the Melaka Straits. The project marks 1-Group’s first foray overseas; as hospitality trailblazers with a track record of conceptualising progressive, iconic venues across Singapore, 1-Group will export a collection of their homegrown Singaporean concepts to one of the most iconic locations in Asia.
Their signature flair will combine with specially curated touches, developed together with local artisans and craftsmen, to create the leading integrated lifestyle destination in Melaka. Hatten, 1-Group’s partner for 1-Altitude Melaka, is an award-winning real estate conglomerate comprising an ecosystem of hotels, malls and residences. Much like 1-Group, Hatten is committed to creating trend-setting, high-quality concepts that ultimately enrich lives and communities.
Mr Joseph Ong, Managing Director of 1-Group, said: “1-Group’s ethos is centred on creating unforgettable hospitality experiences in iconic destinations. Melaka feels like a natural destination for our first project outside of Singapore; attracting swathes of domestic and international tourists each year and boasting an incredible food scene, the city is primed to welcome a one-stop hospitality and entertainment destination.”
“By combining the expertise and strengths of both Hatten and 1-Group, we aim to elevate luxury dining with unparalleled, immersive customer experiences that captivate senses at 1-Altitude Melaka,” stated Dato’ Colin Tan, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of Hatten.
Spanning 5 stories across 100,000 square feet, 1-Altitude Melaka’s slew of concepts will open in phases between July and December 2023. Wildseed Café and Bistro, which spans two levels from level 43 to the rooftop courtyard, brims with floral touches and will present IG-worthy F&B offerings that appeal to café hoppers, will be the first venue to open its doors in July 2023. Warm and welcoming, the concept offers a hearty all-day selection of brunch items – think freshly baked cakes and luscious pastries, signature pasta and pizzas to hearty grills in the evening. Regular collaborations with local artists and florists will contribute to a creative and inclusive atmosphere.
Wildseed Café will be followed by two award-winning dining concepts. Contemporary Italian fine diner MONTI will offer detailed-oriented, authentic Italian fare, created by a team of culinary maestros, and industry-forward cocktails; while FLNT, a sky-high social spot will deliver an authentic fusion of Japanese-Peruvian cuisine. Here, a plethora of sharing plates is prepared with immaculate precision over a Binchotan-fueled Sumiyaki grill.
Night owls will revel at the 1-Altitude Apex Bar, set to become Malaysia’s most iconic rooftop bar. With dynamic weekly programming, craft cocktails on tap, and incredible sunset views across the Melaka Straits, the vibe of the bar will iterate throughout the evening, the tempo turning up as the sun goes down. Leading the progression of Southeast Asian Beach club culture, 1-Altitude Coast is a duo-concept destination comprising 1-Altitude Coast Day Club and Nightclub. With themed club nights offering a stellar lineup of music and entertainment, the adults-exclusive beach club will boast the highest rooftop pool in Melaka, sitting 195m above sea level. An as-yet-unnamed contemporary Chinese restaurant and speakeasy bar will complete the lineup of 1- Altitude Melaka.
A statement destination for weddings, events and celebrations, 1-Host brings over a decade of “hosting great memories” to 1-Altitude Melaka. Renowned for its signature events and venues, the HOST team of experienced event planners has successfully organised more than 2000 weddings, private parties and corporate events that leave lasting impressions.
