France: Urban Living News is a media partner for the new FHS Living event, which has been launched by The Bench.
FHS Living is a new investor-led forum dedicated to connecting Europe’s living assets with global capital.
Taking place in Paris in February 2027, FHS Living is a pan-European investment marketplace dedicated to the living asset classes – branded residences, student accommodation, senior living, serviced living, coliving, club concepts, shared ownership, mixed-use developments and hotels.
The conference joins The Bench’s expanding portfolio of investment summits alongside FHS World, FHS Saudi Arabia, FHS Africa and FHS Egypt.
Living has cemented its position as the largest real estate investment sector in Europe. €46.9 billion was invested in European living assets in 2025 (JLL) with a further €50 billion of capital planned for deployment over the next three years (Savills).
FHS Living will bring together global capital and Europe’s living sector across every major asset class. The platform operates as a curated investment marketplace, anchored around pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with investors, a dedicated Deal Room, a Leadership Stage, investor site tours of live Paris projects and structured roundtables focused on capital deployment.
The two-day programme will include sessions such as Where Capital Is Moving: Living Sectors as the Next Frontier, Underwriting Living Assets: Risk, Returns & Platform Strategies, Europe Meets Middle East: Bridging Capital with Opportunity Across Regions, and Branded Residences in Focus: Global Demand, Premium Pricing & Scalable Growth.
Jonathan Worsley, chairman of The Bench, said: “Over the past three decades, I have had the privilege of bringing together the global hospitality investment community. Today, we are at another inflection point. Capital is being deployed across an entirely new generation of living assets and the industry needs a forum that reflects how that capital is actually moving – across sectors, geographies and disciplines. A place where deals are initiated, partnerships are formed, and new models of living are defined.”
George Sell, editor of Urban Living News, said: “As a media brand dedicated to supporting and growing the living sector, we’re very pleased to be a partner for FHS Living. Having attended several of The Bench’s hospitality-focused events, I look forward to supporting and attending what promises to be a significant gathering of pan-European capital which is targeting the many asset classes that make up the living sector.”
The organisers are actively welcoming expressions of interest from investors, developers, operators and advisors seeking to participate in the founding edition.
