About
Lumya Living
LUMYA Living is a European coliving and PBSA operator with a singular focus: building communities where residents thrive, not just reside. Born from decades of hands-on operational experience across the UK and Continental Europe, LUMYA exists at the intersection of hospitality, technology and genuine human connection - delivering a resident experience that consistently converts first-year tenants into advocates and referrers.
Behind every LUMYA community stands Viridis Real Estate, the boutique development and investment partner that has quietly built one of Europe's most design-led living portfolios since its founding in 2008. Viridis brings patient, long-term capital and an unwavering commitment to environmentally sustainable design, selecting sites with conviction and developing assets that are purpose-built for operational excellence from day one. Together, this developer-operator partnership eliminates the friction that undermines so many coliving schemes - because the people designing the buildings and the people running them have been aligned from the very first sketch.
The LUMYA portfolio now spans five locations across the UK, Austria, and Germany, with an active pipeline including Dublin, Edinburgh & Porto. Each scheme reflects a shared philosophy: flexible, multifunctional communal spaces shaped around how residents actually live - cooking, studying, socialising - rather than headline amenities that gather dust. This evidence-based approach to design and programming is a direct product of the feedback loop between Viridis's development expertise and LUMYA's on-the-ground operational insight.
Central to LUMYA's proposition is LUMYA OS, a proprietary technology platform that integrates reservations, digital onboarding, resident communication, maintenance management and real-time performance reporting into a single ecosystem. The impact is measurable: administrative onboarding time has been significantly reduced, resident satisfaction scores have strengthened, and site teams have been freed to do what matters most - being present and building community.
The company now offers third-party management and consulting services, deploying its operational model and technology stack for external investors seeking institutional-grade management with a community-first ethos.
LUMYA Living and Viridis Real Estate represent something increasingly rare in European coliving: a vertically integrated partnership where development quality, operational depth and technological innovation are not competing priorities - they are one and the same.
