US: Zeus Living, a furnished corporate housing provider, has launched in New York.
The company, which operates 1,600 homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Washington DC, says it “offers professionals the freedom to live where opportunity takes them without sacrificing the ease and comfort of home”. Zeus homes are available for extended stays of 30 days or longer, and are “specifically designed to improve the process of travelling for business”.
“Mobility has become synonymous with the modern workforce, yet housing options designed for work travel are impersonal, unresponsive and unnecessarily expensive. Zeus has spent the past four years creating a living experience that professionals want, with the depth of supply to support the housing needs of employers in top talent markets,” said Zeus CEO and co-founder Kulveer Taggar. “We’re excited to name New York as our fifth city and offer our customers a better option in this global destination.”
It is launching in New York with a wide variety of homes in Manhattan, Hoboken and Jersey City.
Units are outfitted with high-speed WiFi, in-unit laundry, handpicked furnishings from Helix Sleep, Parachute Home and Article, and home essentials from Made In Cookware, Material Kitchen and Public Goods. With operations teams on the ground in each of the company’s five markets, Zeus residents also have access to 24/7 support for property maintenance or special requests, like a sound machine or space heater.
Since 2015, more than 27,000 residents have rented through Zeus, while companies such as Bird, ServiceTitan, HackerOne, and Samsara partner with Zeus on corporate housing solutions.
“HackerOne headquarters hosts employees traveling from offices in Groningen, Singapore, London, New York, and Paris, and from home offices across the globe. Having a comfortable, modern and convenient home away from home for them is essential,” said Mike Battle, San Francisco office manager at HackerOne, a hacker-powered pentest and bug bounty platform with 250 employees worldwide. “Managing corporate housing and accommodations for our employees was extremely challenging. Zeus provides us with a full-service, turnkey solution, and the seamless rental process has freed up time for our office management team to focus on their primary responsibilities.”
Backed by Bowery and Initialized Capital, Zeus is based in San Francisco.
