Our Heritage
The Group was founded by the late Mr Aw Kim Chen in 1971 due to Mr Aw’s desire to diversify into real estate investment and development from his then rubber business.

Mr Aw Kim Chen’s diligence and prudence became a hallmark for the growth of his businesses, and his civic consciousness was exemplified in his passionate involvement in various grass root organisations, clan associations, business associations, education and medical institutions.

Today, we have seen continued growth in various asset classes and in real estate investments, developments and operations. Kimen Group will continue to embrace and reflect Mr. Aw’s spirit of trustworthiness, prudence and diligence in every business endeavour that we participate in.

The firm grew to strength to strength yearly, taking on a gamut of varied local projects and also began expanding its interior design capabilities by taking on project ID for residential developments.

Multiply Architects LLP was fortunate to have the patronage of a local leading developer Perennial Real Estate Holdings Pte Ltd.

In 2013, Multiply Architects began to work in close collaboration with an overseas architectural design firm, Serie Architects and a successful partnership was born. The fruits of this collaborative effort came in the form of winning the several commissions of prestigious local projects through open architectural competitions namely the New State Courts Complex, new extension to the School of Design and Environment in National University of Singapore and the Oasis Terraces – HDB Punggol Neighbourhood Centre and Polyclinic (Winning Entry for World Architecture Festival 2015 – Future Project: Mixed Used Development and Housing Development Board Innovative Design Award 2015).
