NomiLoft

Dirk Bakker, Partner, NomiLoft; CEO Hospitality, Necron Group

Asset class: Co-Living
Where: Europe first. Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Berlin, London and Paris are among the cities in the brand's vision; no site is announced yet.
Stage: Concept

What it is: A smart co-living brand for young professionals, creatives and internationals. Furnished lofts of around 50 sq m use a fold-away bed to double the living space, in modular buildings with a gym, coworking, a bar and a rooftop. One app runs keys, bookings and moves between cities.
The gap: Young people and essential workers are being priced out of the cities they work in, and conventional development is too slow and carbon-heavy to catch up. Moving city also means rebuilding a social life from scratch.
The answer: Prefab lofts the team says go up 40% faster with 60% less CO₂, a hotel-style resident experience and a membership that moves with residents from one NomiLoft city to the next.
