Coliving Advisory.

For operators who want spaces that fill up, run smoothly and grow without burning out their founders. Seventy-plus coliving businesses have sat on this side of the table.

The questions we get called for

"Which business model actually works for my building?"
"Why are my rooms not filling up?"
"Why does the community collapse when I step away?"
"Is my concept differentiated enough to charge this rent?"
"Which tech stack won't I regret in two years?"
"Am I actually ready to open the second building?"

If one of these sounds like 2 a.m. in your head, keep reading.

What working with us looks like

Wherever you are on the CLOS(E) journey, we've walked it with someone before you:

Conceptualize

Get the model right

Concept, differentiation, business plan and financial feasibility. We built the multigenerational model with Combo Living's founders and pressure-tested dozens more. Deliverables: concept doc, business plan, financial model.

Launch

Open with momentum

The 6 to 12 months before doors open: brand, waiting list, team, tech stack, onboarding design. We created The Vibes brand and turned two Italian hotels into coliving. Deliverables: launch plan, brand, resident-journey playbook.

Operate

Make it run itself

Community systems that lift retention toward the 2.2-year mark, operations that don't need you daily, marketing that promises what you deliver. How we worked with Karisma, MaMa Pioneers and The Vibes. Deliverables: community system, ops audit, retention plan.

Scale

Replicate what works

The scale-ready test, the documented playbook, the expansion strategy. How we advised Node, Viver Homes and Chelsea House through growth. Deliverables: scale audit, playbook, market-entry plan.

How an engagement runs

Three shapes, in rising order of depth. Every one starts with the same honest audit.

Start here

The Coliving Audit

A structured review of your stage, model and gaps, followed by a working session on what to fix first. The fastest way to know if and how we can help.

Focused

Strategy sprint

Two to four weeks on one hard problem: the business model, the concept, the pre-opening plan, the go-to-market. Ends with a deliverable, not a slide deck of vibes.

Ongoing

Advisory retainer

Three months and up at your side: the standing advisor for decisions as they come, from lease negotiations to team hires to launch week.

A service provider or ecosystem company? You want Growth & Promotion →

Start with the audit.

Thirty minutes on where you stand. You'll leave with clarity either way.
