Each property is designed to maximize space and light, offering a mix of social areas and quiet study spaces, along with an events calendar to help residents settle in and engage with the city. The customer base consists of students and universities, with Urbanest delivering housing and related services to support campus life. The company emphasizes a diverse, international workforce and aims to double in size over the next 2-3 years, indicating expansion plans.
