about HOST CITY

The United Kingdom’s coliving sector is booming. Today, around 9,000 coliving units are already operational nationwide, with another 5,500 under construction. Planning submissions have skyrocketed by 87% in 2024 alone, reflecting a surge of momentum in the market.
London is at the heart of this growth, accounting for over 55% of all operational and pipeline coliving beds, cementing its position as the United Kingdom’s premier hub for innovative shared living. Rising rental pressures - including a staggering 43% increase in city rents over the past three years - underscore the urgent need for flexible, community-focused housing solutions. At the same time, institutional investors are turning their attention to the sector, with billions expected to flow into coliving and build-to-rent developments, particularly in London, highlighting its prominence as a hotspot for sustainable urban living investment.
