Coliving has become a global real estate trend that is also beginning to take hold in Colombia. This model combines the idea of renting private rooms with shared common areas, such as kitchens, coworking spaces, and social zones. Its appeal lies in offering more affordable, flexible housing with a strong sense of community.

In cities like Bogotá and Medellín, coliving has become popular among young professionals, students, and digital nomads who seek to reduce costs compared to traditional renting while also accessing modern and well-located spaces. According to industry reports, a shared apartment under the coliving model can be between 15% and 25% cheaper than a conventional rental in the same area.

Besides the savings, coliving responds to new lifestyles: remote work, integrating into diverse communities, and building networking connections. This makes it a very attractive proposition for real estate developers, as it increases occupancy density and profitability per square meter.

The challenge lies in architectural design and management. Projects must incorporate flexible, sustainable spaces equipped with technology (high-speed WiFi, smart locks, home automation). Additionally, they require professional management that fosters coexistence and maintains security.

Today, coliving is not only an alternative housing trend but also an emerging investment model in Colombia, aligned with the future of cities and the way we live and work.
