FROM CITY TO SUBURBS

In 2020, we’ve seen a shift from urban to suburban homes with many big city clients choosing the safety, comfort (and green space) of suburban, beach or country residences, often within a couple of hours of the city.  According to Matt , “if we’re not able to travel right now, people need a place to get away”. This doesn’t necessarily mean a permanent move, but signals a need for a place to escape.

CO-LIVING

Co-living buildings offering  “hospitality level amenities” such as co-working , common and green spaces, gyms, pools and courtyards offer residents of all ages the amenities and community interaction of a social club all for the price of their monthly rent, making the category a quickly expanding, popular choice across the country.

Because many of us are working remotely right now, Matt predicts increased demand for more sound proof materials to support functional workspaces in the home. He believes that people will still want open floor plans, but with a better understanding of the need for separate spaces that provide privacy and sound isolation. And, health & wellness spaces at home is high priority, something we’re seeing come to life through top-of-the-line gyms, spas, saunas, indoor and outdoor pools, massage areas and more as clients look to bring wellness into the private residences.
