Leading Co-living Player Housr Acquires StayAbode, Enters Bangalore Market

The brand has recently ventured into a new vertical of managed rental homes under the brand name Housr Homes, designed to cater to the housing needs of working couples and small families. Through Co-living and Homes, Housr is targeting to scale to 100+ properties and 12,000+ beds pan India, by expanding its property portfolio in the existing cities and gaining entry into new geographies by March 2023.

Speaking on the acquisition and expansion, Deepak Anand, Co-founder and CEO, Housr, said, "This acquisition is in line with Housr's vision to grow rapidly by dint of superior and standardised resident experience across our pan India portfolio of now more than 50 properties. Our broader aim, as always, is to fill the need for luxury Co-living in India with a world-class, one-of-its-kind product."

"Acquiring StayAbode is an important stepping stone to our plans for scaling Housr massively in 2022. Housr's entry into Bangalore significantly extends the scope of our mission, which is to seamlessly meet the housing needs of India's new-age working professionals," added Kalpesh Mehta, Co-founder, Housr.

Team StayAbode says, "The concept of Co-living is still germinating in India. Handing over the baton to one of India's leading Co-living players puts us on a better collective footing to popularise managed accommodation amongst a skeptical Indian audience."

Housr properties have been home to a diverse group of entrepreneurs, innovators, change-makers and those seeking world-class lifestyles. The properties consist of exceptionally designed rooms with modern aesthetics, small, tight-knit communities of welcoming residents, and equipped community areas to unwind. Recognizing the need for luxury-centric living spaces that are conducive to the needs of today's technologically-savvy professionals, the company offers in-house amenity packages that address essential lifestyle needs, from meals to housekeeping and laundry, all under one roof.
