US: Furnished Quarters is growing its core portfolio with new buildings and additional apartments across the north-eastern US.
Areas of expansion include Connecticut, Brooklyn, Boston, Cambridge and Manhattan. It has grown its Stamford, Connecticut portfolio by 40 per cent to accommodate increased corporate client demand. New Connecticut buildings include Element One and Village at Stamford Apartments.
Brooklyn is the fastest growth area for the company. With the addition of a fourth building at 180 Montague Street, Furnished Quarters now has accommodation in Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, and Downtown Brooklyn.
The company says: “The Greater Boston Area, at near full occupancy, is opening up availability with apartment set-ups in Cambridge at Kendall Square and an expansion into the newly popular Seaport District. This special part of the city now boasts everything from an assortment of retail to green spaces and waterways. Fitness Centers Equinox and Reebok, as well as an impressive list of restaurants including Aceituna Grill, Better Bagels, by CHLOE, Yo! Sushi and Mastro’s Steakhouse are all scheduled to open in the Seaport by fall.”
New York City, home base for Furnished Quarters’ sales and marketing, has seen the addition of 101W15 in Chelsea.
“We definitely are seeing a rise in corporate housing reservations now that the election is behind us and we are entering spring,” said Steve Brown, CEO of Furnished Quarters. “It’s exciting to see new neighbourhoods in our locales become the most requested for short-term stays.”</p
