INDIA: Housr, a rapidly growing luxury managed living brand, is expanding into the short-stay segment to meet the rising demand for flexible accommodations among corporate travelers. The expansion follows a significant growth witnessed by Housr over the past 18 months with 90% + occupancy rates across its existing 70+ properties spread across top-tier cities. The company is creating and dedicating bespoke rooms within its properties for corporate short stays, enhancing the overall experience for professionals on the move, especially during the peak year-end travel period and beyond.

A recent report suggests that India’s over USD 10.6 billion corporate travel sector is estimated to grow at a 10.1 percent CAGR to USD 20.8 billion by FY30, driven by tech-enabled, personalized, and sustainable solutions.

The brand believes this new offering will redefine the corporate stay experience by offering customized solutions for working professionals. Talking about the motivation behind the expansion, Deepak Anand, Founder & CEO, of Housr said, “Since its inception, Housr has witnessed exceptional demand for short-term stays, signaling a gap in the market that we are now set to fill. Approximately 30-40 % of our current residents expressed a desire for a capsule format of Housr tailored to facilitate their corporate travel seamlessly. This resident feedback has been a significant motivator behind our new initiative. Inspired by positive industry trends and real consumer demand in the growing corporate travel market, we decided to foray into the short-stay segment.”

“With Housr, we have a reputation of bringing premium offerings at value pricing, and we shall continue to build on that premise with Housr Short Stays as well. We have active business collaborations and are already in talks with multiple corporates for partnerships to streamline our offerings further”, he added.

Housr’s rapid growth trajectory will continue into Quarter 1 of 2025 with the launch of 10 new properties, adding to the existing 70+ properties. For the short stay format where a traveler can book one or multiple nights with Housr, the company is capitalizing on its existing presence in five cities: Gurugram, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune, and Vizag with the target audience mainly being business and corporate travelers, within the age group of 25 to 40 years. This strategic decision will not only establish the brand in the short-term stay market but will further solidify its position as a leader in the managed living segment.

To cater to the demands of this segment, Housr will retain its standard services, which include professional housekeeping, laundry on demand, breakfast and dinner buffets, high-speed WiFi, and 3-tier security. In addition, personal care shower essentials and grooming essentials will be provided as a part of the offerings for the corporate traveler.

MUMBAI: Tribeca Developers, India’s largest luxury branded residential developer and the largest global developer of Trump-branded projects, has set a new benchmark with the launch of their latest luxury residential offering, ‘The Edge.’  In just 30 days the project, which is a collaboration between Tribeca Developers and Tejukaya, has achieved sales exceeding INR. 1,000 crores, establishing it as South Mumbai’s fastest-selling residential development in recent years.

Situated on a prime 2.5-acre site in Parel, Tower 1 of ‘The Edge’ features 228 meticulously designed residences. The development includes a range of 2, 3, 4 & 5 Bed homes, with prices from INR. 4 cr to INR. 12 cr.

The project is one of the largest projects in South Mumbai and is being developed under the Maharashtra government’s ambitious Cluster Redevelopment Policy.

In January 2024, Tribeca Developers announced a collaboration with the 135-year-old Tejukaya Group on this project, with INR. 200 cr. financing line secured from HDFC Capital.  Subsequently, Piramal Capital provided an additional INR. 120 cr. of credit line. With less than 50% of these financing lines drawn to date, Tribeca doesn’t expect to draw the balance lines.

Mr. Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca said “Tribeca focuses on building only landmark trophy properties, and our projects have always been extremely well received across India. With The Edge, we pushed the boundaries of luxury well, to the edge, and we are grateful to our customers for rewarding us so robustly on our maiden entry into Mumbai. This is the biggest launch that Tribeca has had in its 12-year journey. The market for luxury residences in India remains strong and buyers across the country are willing to pay huge premiums over competition to acquire homes in trophy projects that are one of a kind, and that is the demand we cater to.”

He added, “Our asset-light approach relies heavily on having extremely strong partners who have strong land expertise, such as Mr. Pranav Tejookaya. This land had been in his family for over 100 years and had 730 families housed in chawls built by his great-grandfather. Pranav bhai’s ability to vacate and get approvals on once in a lifetime site is a big reason for our success.”

Pranav P. Tejookaya, CEO & Managing Director of Tejukaya Group, said “Collaborating with Tribeca on ‘The Edge’ reflects our shared vision for redefining luxury in Mumbai. This location has a deep personal significance for us, and seeing it transformed into an iconic residential address is a proud achievement. With Tribeca’s expertise and our deep-rooted local insight, ‘The Edge’ will set a new standard for luxury living in Mumbai.”

‘The Edge’ boasts an iconic façade with two shimmering glass towers rising 600 feet into the sky and will be among the tallest towers in the micro-market. Design is at the core of the residences with every room featuring Tribeca’s signature openable façade, with full-length sliding windows and glass railings on the outside.

Tribeca is known for developing the largest rooftop in the world in Pune. The rooftop at The Edge will be the most iconic in Mumbai and will be packed with amenities such as the glass-bottom sky bridge. The project has one of the largest amenities programs in the entire micro-market with amenities spread across 4 levels.
