Two international experts—Pro-invest Group’s Sabine Schaffer and CBRE’s Stuart McCann—unpack the fundamentals and investment appeal behind co-living.

Share these insights on co-living, which is attracting residents and capital, particularly in overseas markets:

• Co-living fills a market gap between hotels and multifamily, and is distinguished by resident tenure, product mix and community social environment.

·     Co-living offers flexible, furnished units with strong appeal to working professionals and students.

·     Co-living assets can be an attractive investment, delivering stable income and occupancy as high as 95%+.

·     Conversions of offices and hotels can often be delivered more quickly and at lower costs than ground-up co-living development and produce better risk-adjusted returns.

·     Private equity is flowing into co-living and more institutional core capital may target the sector as it matures.

·     Urban affordability and demographic shifts are driving long-term demand, positioning co-living as a scalable residential solution.
