Discover how leading coliving operators like The Collective and Common redefined resilience during the pandemic, leveraging automated systems, virtual communities, and self-contained amenities to thrive amid financial strain and social distancing. See how their tech-driven agility and niche-focused growth turned crises into opportunities, cementing coliving’s future as a counter-cyclical housing solution for a post-pandemic world.

New forms of accommodation - in particular those associated with various forms of communal living - have been expanding like never before, and residents are adjusting accordingly. With these changes comes a need for tailored solutions that can help would-be residents find the ideal living situation that suits them, as well as helping owners and operators optimise and manage the process seamlessly from the back-end. In this interview, Lauren Dannay (Co-Founder and COO of Whoomies) and Alexandre Assal (Co-Founder and CEO) explain how their Whoomies products continue to propel the quality of shared accommodation in innovative ways within the growing landscape of coliving.

Smart technology is no longer optional in coliving -it’s expected. Christian Schmitz and Anya Doshi of SALTO Systems explore how cloud-based access control platforms can optimise property management and enhance tenant and employee experiences. By integrating advanced software and hardware, these solutions offer seamless, multi-functional services that adapt to user behaviour, making buildings more efficient, secure, and future-ready.
