Germany: Schwarzat Capital GmbH is focused on developing shared housing and coliving in Leipzig, especially with larger apartments and buildings.
This living arrangement is tailored toward students, young professionals and people who are new to the city. Residents have their own rooms, while the kitchen, hallways and other common areas are shared.
“Not everyone who comes to Leipzig needs a full two- or three-room apartment right away,” said managing director Sven Schwarzat. “For many people, a good room in a well-organised shared apartment is the more suitable solution at first.”
Schwarzat Capital GmbH focuses on the quality of the properties. Therefore, during renovations, floor plans, bathrooms, kitchens and common areas are specifically tailored to their future use.
Shared living also allows for more intensive use of larger existing apartments, especially spaces that would be more difficult to rent out to individual households due to their size or layout.
Highlights:
- Schwarzat Capital GmbH is focusing on shared housing and co-living developments in Leipzig, with an emphasis on larger apartments and residential buildings
- The shared-living model targets students, young professionals and people new to Leipzig, providing residents with private bedrooms while kitchens, hallways and other communal areas are shared
- Schwarzat Capital adapts properties for shared living during renovations, including redesigning floor plans, bathrooms, kitchens and communal areas to suit future residents
- The strategy enables larger existing apartments to be used more intensively, particularly properties whose size or layout may make them less suitable for conventional single-household rentals
