A New Way of Living
Independent Living vs. Shared Living vs. Coliving
Independent Living
(What most people are used to)
- You live alone, with a partner, or with family in a private home.
- You handle all responsibilities—rent, utilities, maintenance, and furnishing.
- Socializing happens outside your home, often requiring extra effort.
Example: Renting a one-bedroom apartment in a city, where your home is your private retreat but also a bit isolating.
Shared Living
(A broad category)
- You share space and costs with unrelated people, often for convenience.
- Interaction depends on the setup—some communities are social, others aren’t.
- There’s little structure beyond splitting bills and respecting shared spaces.
Example: Living in a college dorm or student housing, where you have roommates and common areas but no real sense of community beyond school life.
Coliving (also Co-living)
(A more intentional form of shared living)
- Designed for connection, convenience, and flexibility.
- Comes with furnished spaces, shared amenities, and built-in community events.
- Often managed by an operator to create a seamless, engaging experience.
Example: Moving into a shared living space for entrepreneurs, where private rooms come with coworking spaces, networking events, and a built-in support system of like-minded professionals.
The Future is Shared
We're going to have to share more... why?
1Resource Scarcity
Finite Resources, Growing Demands
World population is projected to reach 9 billion by 2037, up from 8 billion in 2022 (a 12.5% increase in just 15 years).
Global population growth and limited resources make sharing not just an option, but an imperative for sustainable living. Coliving optimizes resource usage through shared spaces and amenities.
2Environmental Impact
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
The sharing economy could reduce carbon emissions by up to 550 million tons annually by 2030.
Climate change demands immediate action in how we consume and live. Coliving naturally reduces environmental impact through shared utilities, spaces, and sustainable practices.
3Economic Reality
Smarter Resource Allocation
Renters in 10 of the most expensive cities in the US can save more than $900/month, as much as $1,600/person by coliving.
Rising costs of living and economic pressures necessitate more efficient living solutions. Coliving creates access to better amenities and locations at optimized costs through shared resources.
4Urban Density
Cities Need Solutions
56.9% of the world's population lived in urban areas in 2022, up from 52.5% in 2012. This figure is projected to reach 68% by 2050.
Rapid urbanization requires innovative approaches to housing and community. Coliving addresses urban challenges by efficiently using space while maintaining quality of life.
5Technological Evolution
Digital Age Enabler
45% of executives believe that AI will play a vital role in improving operational efficiency in the sharing economy over the next three years.
Advanced technology platforms make sharing and community management more efficient than ever. Coliving leverages these tools to create seamless shared living experiences.
6Social Reconnection
Combating Isolation
For young people ages 15 to 24, time spent in-person with friends decreased by nearly 70% over almost two decades.
Modern society faces increasing disconnection and loneliness. Coliving provides a natural antidote by creating environments designed for meaningful human connection.
