Coliving an Attractive New Home for the New Generations
Coliving is rapidly emerging as the preferred housing choice for Millennials and Centennials, who seek greater flexibility and ease over traditional commitments and ownership in their living arrangements. Drawing from our expertise in establishing coliving ventures and analyzing its target demographic, we've found coliving to be a highly adaptable lodging option. It consolidates all expenses into one simple bill without any long-term contractual obligations, offering a living space that seamlessly aligns with the evolving societal trends and the dynamic lifestyles of these generations.
A good definition of coliving would be a Housing Service that offers flexible accommodation solutions that wants to enjoy an inclusive experience living in a community, with members with whom they have an affinity. A home that combines private areas with common and shared areas, and also offers a series of additional services and/or amenities for the community that houses it to enjoy it.
Examples of coliving models
Hybrid Model:
These are hospitality sector enterprises, encompassing hotels, aparthotels, hostels, or coworking spaces, that are integrating coliving into their offerings. Primarily catering to short-term stays, they prioritize fostering a community that facilitates connections between travelers and local residents. Examples of this hybrid model include Live Zoku, The Student Hotel, Selina (which also incorporates a vertical model), Stay, and Soho House.
Vertical Model:
These startup operators prioritize expansion in their business strategies. Their models typically prioritize efficiency, offering minimal services and community facilitation, with the aim of creating easily scalable platforms. While they often cater to longer stays, typically a month or more, they may also accommodate shorter durations. Examples of such vertical operators include The Collective, Quarters, Node, Common, among others.
Urban colivings:
These colivings are typically managed by real estate firms and situated in densely populated urban areas with high rental costs. In this context, coliving serves as a flexible housing option, providing an alternative to conventional rentals. This model often involves decentralization, with numerous small coliving units spread across the city. Minimum stay durations typically extend to at least one month. Examples of this urban-centric approach include Venn, Enso, Urban Campus, and Aticco Living.
Rural model:
Similar to the urban model, this coliving approach is purposeful and driven by the desire to make a positive impact. Originating from the need to counteract urban gentrification and revitalize depopulated rural regions, these colivings often supplement their offerings with inspirational retreats tailored for companies or professionals. They are typically situated in picturesque locales such as coastal or rural areas, aiming to attract digital nomads seeking inspiration and tranquility. These establishments specialize in short-term stays. Notable examples of rural colivings include Coconat, Mokrin House, Sende, Anceu Coliving, and Sun & Co.
