Private club 1880 acquired by group behind Mandala Club
The Straits Times
|September 04, 2025
Private members' club 1880 is looking to reopen at a new venue, after its brand and rights were acquired by the group behind Mandala Club.
Luxury lifestyle and hospitality group ICONIC announced on Sept 3 that it had acquired the intellectual property of the now-defunct club, which closed suddenly in June after eight years. It did not disclose the acquisition price.
"The move ensures that one of Singapore's most distinctive private members' communities will continue to live on, with its culture, conversations and connections preserved while plans for a new home are developed," said a statement from ICONIC, which is backed by Catcha Group.
Catcha, a Kuala Lumpur-based tech company founded by Mr Patrick Grove, joined hands with Mandala Club founder Ben Jones in early 2025 to form ICONIC, with the aim of acquiring a premium portfolio that includes members' clubs, hospitality, luxury experiences, sporting events and wellness.
