As part of the cooperation, MEDICI LIVING Group will prepare feasibility studies, support CORESTATE in property planning and design and fully assume operation. CORESTATE is securing long-term, high-growth revenue structures for itself and continuing to expand its market position in the trending area of “urban living.”
“Together with MEDICI, we want to play a leading role in shaping the co-living market in Europe. Co-living properties optimally complement our current product range in the micro-living sector. It is a new, rapidly growing residential segment that covers millennials’ rental requirements. They are looking to exchange ideas with like-minded people in a modern living space and experience community, no matter in which metropolis they are currently working. Our investors will also benefit from this trend. Through us, they have the opportunity to invest in a unique product range in the micro-living sector at European level,” says Thomas Landschreiber, CIO and co-founder of CORESTATE.
Gunther Schmidt, founder and CEO of MEDICI LIVING Group, adds: “This partnership is the breakthrough for co-living in Europe”. Gunther Schmidt sees even greater potential for the new asset class than for co-working. “The residential real estate market is much larger than that for office real estate,” he adds. “We are building the WeWork of co-living and CORESTATE’s investors can participate in it.”
