B-Hive Living, a British brand and operator of coliving properties, wins the prestigious Coliving Awards
2023, earning the coveted User and Community Experience Category. The announcement was made at
the Coliving Awards ceremony held in Amsterdam last Friday and attended by industry leaders and real
estate companies from around the world.
Coliving, a revolutionary flexible housing concept, has gained immense popularity in the UK due to its
emphasis on community building and resident interaction, and access to a variety of amenity spaces
beyond the habitual scape.
B-Hive Living, who had already won the accolade of best community building company in the UK at the
HMO Awards last year, has been at the forefront of this movement through its mission to elevate the
wellbeing of its residents through purpose-built spaces, personalised community building methodologies
and tech-enhanced approaches for facilitating resident interaction and engagement.
B-Hive Living’s journey from a modest UK-based startup to an international industry leader is a testament
to its endeavour to shift the standards of the residential living sector. Despite its humble beginnings in
Bicester Oxfordshire, B-Hive Living has boldly taken on the giants of the international real estate industry
through its unique dedication to residents’ wellbeing and community building in a day and age when most rental companies and landlords are most concerned about profits and their bottom-line.
Leah Ziliak, Chief Judge of the Coliving Awards, praised B-Hive Living’s distinctive approach, stating:
“B-Hive Living is one of the most impressive residential coliving spaces I’ve come across in terms of CX.
One of the things that stands out is their personal approach in everything they do. From their Hive
Ambassador program to the founder personally cooking a welcome meal they prioritise creating a warm
and inclusive environment. Their stringent vetting process is impressive and their commitment to curating
a community of like-minded people shows up with their high retention and occupancy rates. You rarely see
an independently owned coliving space with a Head of Experience which shows how much they value the
user experience. Their B-Hive Living Awards are unique and I love that they recognize and appreciate
community members who go above and beyond. Their app ensures ease of use and seamless
communication. Additionally their OKR system designed to track engagement ensures that they stay
focused on continuous improvement. The communal spaces are designed to encourage health and
wellness. 73% of their members reported an increase in well-being from living there – a testament to the
positive impact of their community”
Williams Johnson, CEO and Co-founder of B-Hive Living, said: ‘We are honoured to win this international
accolade and be recognised for our community-building efforts. From the outset, our mission at B-Hive
Living has been to build nourishing shared living environments able to foster meaningful connections
among residents and elevate their lifestyle and wellbeing We are consistent, intentional and innovative in
the way we seek to deliver our community engagement strategies and it’s great to be recognised for the
impact we’ve on the lives of our residents and the broader communities where we operate.”
