$1.14B Investment in Co-Living Facilities with U.S. Expansion Plans

by

German property firms, Medici Living and Corestate Capital Holding SA, plan to invest $1.14 billion to develop their co-living facilities across Europe and the United States.

Young professionals that were priced out of major city housing markets are driving the demand for the co-living concept where tiny apartments are grouped around shared facilities such as dining areas, lounges, work spaces, laundry rooms and gyms.

Caton Commercial brokers, Bill Caton, CIPS, Steve Caton, CCIM, and Andy Velkme, CIPS will partner with Medici for site selections as they target U.S. cities for expansion. Medici Living currently operates two sites in New York and one in Chicago under their QUARTERS brand name.

Berlin-based Medici Living Group is bringing its first Quarters co-living location to Chicago next week.

The 175-resident location in Fulton Market is the first in what company CEO Gunther Schmidt said will be a broader push into Chicago, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“We’re seeing massive demand, and we’re really reacting to that demand,” he said. “I think you’re going to see this expand in every city.”

The facility will be on the top five floors of MCZ Development’s 10-story project at 171 North Aberdeen Street, Schmidt said.

Apartments accommodate up to five people, with a kitchen, one or more bathrooms and bedrooms ranging from 77 to 198 square feet. Rents start at $1,200 per month and will average $1,600 per month including utilities, wireless internet, and Netflix movies.

Medici is working with Naperville-based Caton Commercial Real Estate Group to identify other potential locations in Chicago, the Tribune reported.
