A guide & application manual for design, development, investment, and operation
Co-Living sector has evolved at brisk rate during last one decade, reason for its rise is attributable to many aspects: demography, customer needs, technology and rise of middle class across different parts of the world. It is one of the prominent disruptions witnessed by the residential real estate.
Co-Living industry has a huge potential in a country like India which is home to the largest population of Generation Y cohort (25-34 years old). With more and more millennials migrating to urban cities of India for work, availability of quality housing at affordable prices continues to be a challenge.
