We provided cost planning and budget management for this co-living development at Neighbourgood East City, a repurposed hotel reimagined around a strong sense of community. The standout feature is a communal kitchen styled like a cooking class, with eight fully equipped stations used daily and for hosted events, alongside family-style dining tables, a versatile lounge, and quiet workspaces on the first floor.
Converting an existing hotel into a functioning co-living building brings its own budget challenges, balancing the retention of existing structure against the cost of new communal facilities. As Professional Quantity Surveyors, our role was to keep that balance in check, helping deliver a space where residents get home comforts alongside the social fabric built by the on-site community team.
