These days, it can be difficult to distinguish a cool, new apartment building from a cool, new hotel. And that’s no accident. More and more, the lines are blurring in the design of multifamily properties and hospitality projects. What it speaks to is an evolution in residential living that embraces the sophisticated and modern conveniences of a hotel.
Here’s one reason why: Millennials, currently the largest demographic in rental property and in the workforce. This is a generation that lives the upscale, fast-casual life (to borrow some restaurant language). Work life and non-work life blur for this crowd, which is less attached to material things and more about social experiences. As a result, a 24/7 live-work-play mentality is being integrated into the design and functionality of both hotels and apartment buildings."
