Notable Quotes:
Kristen Zupancic:
- "I think by coliving developers and operators really understanding their residents and seeing actually what works for them and what are their habits throughout the day and how does that change? So that's actually a really good way that coliving can also embrace the mixed use of the building itself."
-"Many people have the conception that coliving is only for young people, young professionals, but it's not the case. It's not about the demographic, it's about the mindset." - Kristen Zupancic "I think we just need to push the industry forward, getting more recognition and help promote this better way of living for people."
