Co-Liv is the global association of coliving professionals: the operators, investors, designers and policymakers building shared living worldwide.
MIPIM Co-Liv Summit 2023, Palais des Festivals, Cannes.
Founded in San Francisco in 2016 and registered as a non-profit in France, Co-Liv grew into the industry body for shared living: part chamber of commerce, part research forum, part community of practice. We define coliving simply, as any shared living space that improves the quality of life of its residents.
From the first coliving summit ever held to the main stage of MIPIM in Cannes, and Housing Matters! with 1,000 attendees.
When the pandemic hit, Co-Liv moved the whole industry online: 105 events in 2020 alone, with 3,500+ attendees.
Local leaders ran chapters from Paris to Nairobi, in English, French, German and Spanish.
The Art of Coliving, summit reports, the Community Facilitation Handbook, industry surveys and a 6,000-page resource library.
In 2023, Co-Liv brought shared living to the Palais des Festivals in Cannes with the first MIPIM Co-Liv Summit. The partnership grew into Housing Matters!, an international conference on residential innovation that ran through 2025.
It was the moment a niche became an asset class.
