Our coliving philosophy

An SROI approach (Social return on investment) to align the business model of our apartment buildings with their ESG impact (environmental, social, governance):

  • Providing the opportunity to stay in larger urban zones

  • Fighting social isolation

  • Making areas for interactivity available (e.g. co-working space, multi-purpose room for entertainment and cultural events, fitness centre, bistro, etc.)
  • Working with local providers of services to residents, as well as entertainment and cultural events (e.g. shopping delivery, laundry services, French classes, discounts on nearby businesses, book clubs, cooking classes, art workshops, city tours, artist’s exhibitions, etc.)
  • Improving the standard of the property through quality constructions or renovations
  • Controlling energy consumption through the installation of smart equipment
