The Citylifer will merge with its sister company Citylife, which has built up a portfolio of 235 coliving beds, divided across approximately 60 apartments and 3 small-scale buildings. Since 2018, Citylife has earned a positive reputation among residents and internationals alike for its professionalism and customer-centric approach as a housing operator.

By offering the flexibility, simplicity and services of hotels, with a price point that aligns with the residential segment. Citylife has achieded a customer satisfaction score of 9.9 on Kiyoh.

The brand “The Citylifer” was created in 2023 by the team of Citylife as their innovative building concept. In collaboration with Cutwork Studio, they developed a large-scale building concept that won the Coliving Award for Emerging Coliving Concept 2023. The award celebrates the idea of creating smart, affordable coliving spaces within upcycled buildings. The Citylifer embodies the same core values as Citylife: accessibility, convenience, community and sustainability. By merging both brands, Citylife’s experience in the coliving scene is combined with the innovative coliving concept of The Citylifer. Additionally, the operating systems and intellectual property of Citylife will be integrated into The Citylifer.

Introducing three ways of living

As part of the merger, The Citylifer introduces three types of living within their coliving concept:

Citylifer Apartment: Tailored for small groups of up to 5, these apartments strike the perfect chord between privacy and community engagement.
Citylifer House: A larger domain for up to 50 residents, offering communal facilities and a setting ripe for social synergy and shared moments, while offering a diverse range of private apartments.
Citylifer Building: A unique blend of private living and community interaction, featuring ‘community-cluster’ groups sharing expansive common spaces while enjoying individual apartments. The buildings offer fully-furnished, short-and long-stay homes. To foster long-term relationships among residents, each floor contains an immersive, shared living room with a special kitchen called the “family room” to be exclusively shared with around 15 to 25 Citylifers.

Co-founder of both Citylife and The Citylifer Tjeerd Hoes says: “From the start, Citylife had a strong community-centric approach. We will apply all our learnings from the last 5 years to our new units. Bringing Citylife and The Citylifer together creates a wonderful synergy between experience and innovation. I’m confident that it will accelerate the growth of our brand and the opportunity to truly answer the housing needs of young professionals.”

Bringing Citylife and The Citylifer together creates a wonderful synergy between experience and innovation. ”
