Sharing Co puts the focus on Valencia to grow in 'coliving', 'coworking' and medium-stay apartments
Arco Galán and Jaime Bello, founding partners of Sharing Co, have been pioneers in the real estate sector since their arrival in 2010. With a clear vision of offering modern and accessible accommodation, they have positioned their company as a reference in the field of ‘coliving’, mid-stay apartments and ‘coworking’.
Sharing Co was born from the international experience of its founders. Jaime lived in the United States and Arco in England, where they began their trajectory with another company before refocusing their efforts on the Spanish market. It was in 2021 when they officially launched the Sharing Co project, an initiative that seeks to combine the flexibility of accommodation spaces with the services demanded by users today.
Looking to the future, Galán and Bello are determined to drive a significant expansion of Sharing Co. They have their sights set on markets such as Valencia, where they identify considerable potential for growth and diversification of their business model. Their goal is to double the volume of business in the coming years, which includes not only the opening of new spaces, but also the integration of services that adapt to the changing needs of tenants.
Sharing Co’s proposition is clear: to offer a ‘coliving’ product designed to meet the needs of a new generation of tenants. With a strong focus on community and wellness, the company is focused on creating comfortable, functional and well-connected spaces. They are currently undertaking the refurbishment of several buildings, including two in Madrid and one in Malaga.
According to Galán and Bello, ‘coliving’ is not just about providing rooms, but fostering a lifestyle that combines privacy with access to shared spaces, such as kitchens, living rooms and work areas. With a quality experience in mind, the founders have designed spaces that promote interaction among the tenant community, catering to both those seeking temporary stays and those who want a more permanent solution.
In addition to ‘coliving’, Sharing Co has diversified its offering to include coworking spaces. This move not only responds to the growing demand for flexible offices, but also creates synergies between residents and professionals using the shared workspace. The idea is that workers can have easy access to housing and workspaces, generating a productive ecosystem that benefits both sectors.
Sharing Co’s expansion strategy also includes seeking strategic alliances with investors and developers, which could enhance their ability to carry out large-scale projects in different cities. In this sense, they are evaluating the possibility of opening new locations nationally and internationally, always seeking to offer housing solutions that go beyond the simple provision of space.
Arco and Jaime are convinced that these steps are crucial to position Sharing Co as a leader in the transformation of the real estate sector. “We are in a moment of growth and change in which we want to be agents of innovation and sustainability in housing” they say. This commitment is reflected in their focus on creating communities that not only offer living spaces, but also a collaborative and enriching lifestyle.
With a renewed focus on sustainability, community and adaptability, Sharing Co seeks to lead the way towards a more accessible and modern future in living and working. As they conclude, “we don’t just offer spaces, but solutions that adapt to people’s needs.” This commitment to quality and user experience is at the core of the success that Galán and Bello continue to build in the real estate sector.
