You’ll get MasterChef kitchens and curated housemates but maybe get rid of some of your stuffs to enjoy the perks of co-living
The development boasts shared MasterChef kitchens, where you can “swap recipes” with your co-living “neighbours”, a private cinema and games room, roof terraces, a 24/7 onsite gym, work desks and private meeting rooms with video conferencing and printing. At Node, in Dublin’s city centre, communal spaces include a rooftop terrace and a “residents lounge”, which can be used as a co-working space. Renters also have private access to Fitzwilliam Square park.
With smaller spaces for living in, developers could maximise the number of units built in a development, and the co-living concept soon became very popular. In November 2020, after a review of the planning guidelines, Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien issued a de facto ban on new co-living developments. Expressing concern about the volume of co-living developments in the pipeline and their planned locations, he said they had the potential to undermine Government housing policies and push up land prices. After just two years co-living in Ireland came to a halt.
At these prices, co-living isn’t for everyone. And that’s probably the pitch. Node has a particular clientele in mind. Marketing videos name check residents of its global properties who include “inspiring entrepreneurs, creatives and tech savvy professionals”.For those jaded from years of house-sharing, or for those new to Dublin, the upsides of one, all-inclusive monthly bill, a professional cleaning service and a clear, contractual arrangement with cohabitees are easy to see.
