Corporate housing for corporate mobility and hr
Relocating hires and their families, and intern cohorts arriving the same week.
What the work needs from the housing
- Direct-bill to the employer
- Nothing on the employee’s card, nothing to expense. One account, one monthly invoice.
- Policy-compliant reporting
- Stay data reported the way your mobility policy needs it filed.
- Family units near schools
- School-district guidance in the option sheet for hires moving with children.
- Cohort housing
- Intern classes in one building with matched roommates and a single arrival day.
- A single contact for HR
- One person who knows every active stay, instead of a booking reference per employee.
Why apartments, not hotels.
Living space
One room. Bed, desk, bathroom.
A whole apartment: separate bedroom, living room, kitchen, usually a washer and dryer.
Cost over a month or more
A nightly rate on every night, plus lodging tax, parking and meals out.
A monthly rate, usually lower per night, with utilities and Wi-Fi in and occupancy tax reduced or exempt in many jurisdictions.
Keeping the team together
Rooms spread across whichever floors are free that night.
Cohorts in one building on one invoice; families kept together in apartments sized for them.
Privacy
Sleeping, working and taking calls in the same room.
A new hire settles into a home, not a room — and an intern shares only if they chose to.
Length of stay
By the night, re-booked as the project runs on.
From a couple of weeks to a year or longer, with extension and early-exit terms agreed up front.
Paperwork
A folio per room per stay for finance to reconcile.
One contract and one monthly invoice for the whole requirement, itemised by unit.
