Austin Corporate Housing a Growing Trend
In Austin, corporate housing demand is increasing. Most businesspeople that travel frequently for work are aware that, in some cases, business matters cannot be settled in brief amounts of time, such as over a weekend or even a regular work week. Therefore, corporate housing is becoming an increasingly attractive option for businesspeople spending extended periods of time in Austin, or any unfamiliar city, for work.
It can be difficult to feel comfortable when staying in hotels away from home. Understandably, this can interfere somewhat with productivity. People don’t sleep as well away from home or have more difficulty concentrating in sterile hotel environments. As a result, many individuals are seeking corporate housing alternatives, especially in larger cities such as Austin, where corporate housing options are numerous.
Corporate housing provides temporary accommodations for travelers that are as close to home-like as possible. Accommodations generally are set up like traditional, fully-furnished, tastefully decorated homes, complete with full kitchens and laundry facilities. Unlike hotel décor, which tends to be institutional-feeling and cold, corporate housing units are designed to feel as homey and comfortable as possible.
In addition to providing a more welcoming physical environment for businesspeople, professionals and clients are encouraged to bring their spouses or families with them or even their pets. Many professionals utilizing corporate housing in Austin will hold business meetings in their temporary homes rather than at restaurants or in office buildings. Generally, the cost of corporate housing tends to be higher than the cost of traditional hotel housing or standard short-term leases. However, rent generally includes housekeeping fees, as well as utilities. Furthermore, corporate housing units in Austin are located in close proximity to major business and corporate locations, eliminating the stress and hassle of trying to figure out how to navigate through an unfamiliar city.
Although most corporate housing is conveniently located in city centers close to business districts for purposes of convenience, a growing trend in the corporate housing market in Austin is units located in the suburbs. These units are primarily more useful for businesspeople and professionals who have extended stays in new cities; some over a period of several months. In fact, this trend is growing so rapidly that in a survey conducted in 2010 by the Corporate Housing by Owner (CBHO), the majority of corporate housing units owned by private owners, as opposed to corporations, are located in the suburbs.
