Student Coliving

From PBSA to student coliving
Discover the 2021 winners

The purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and coliving sectors are growing closer and closer together and both models support one another: as students move from their professionally-managed dorms, they want to keep the aspects of sociability and community they got so much out of during their studies. As these students and younger generations evolve their tastes and needs, so should their housing options. This category will showcase the PBSA and student coliving offers that are paving the way for communal living throughout all stages of life.

For whom?

PBSA brands, student coliving brands, hybrid hospitality brands, and other shared living brands and communities targeting students.

  1. Relevant & in Operation: Your shared living brand is dedicated to students and strongly considers their needs, budgets and interests and is currently in operation.
  2. Branding & Marketing: Your student coliving business has a timeless and engaging brand with strong communications and marketing strategies.
  3. Spatial Design & Architecture: Your student coliving building(s) considers the latest within sustainable and state-of-the-art spatial design and architecture and the lifestyles of students. 
  4. Impact & Sustainability: Your student coliving brand embeds social, environmental and economic impact and sustainability into the core of its business, designs, experience and operations.
