Celebrating Six Years of Community: A Look Back and Forward with Casa Mia Coliving By Ahmed Shaariq Nizar
01 Sept 2025
Casa Mia Coliving celebrates 6 years of creating tech-enabled, community-driven homes for young professionals in Singapore. From shared hawker dinners to lifelong friendships, members have found more than just a place to stay; they’ve found belonging. With 93%+ occupancy, S$8M revenue, and over 2,000 members, Casa Mia’s seamless tech and human-first ethos have fueled its growth. Looking ahead, the team remains committed to expanding its footprint and making community living simpler, warmer, and more connected.
Six years ago, on September 1st, Casa Mia Coliving began a journey to redefine urban living in Singapore. We set out to create more than just rooms for rent; our mission was to build a tech-enabled, sustainable coliving community that offers affordable, modern, and move-in-ready homes.
As we celebrate our 6th anniversary, we are grateful for our incredible community of young professionals who have called Casa Mia home. Their energy and engagement are what make our spaces so special, and we’re proud that this commitment to community has driven our success. That success was formally recognized when we were named by the Financial Times and The Straits Times as the fastest-growing real estate company and one of the top 10 overall in the Asia-Pacific region and top 4 in Singapore, respectively, for 2025. This achievement is a testament to the thriving, supportive environment we've all built together.
More Than a Stay: The Stories That Define Us
What begins as a 3- to 12-month lease often turns into a much longer relationship. A significant portion of our members choose to renew their stay, not just for convenience but because they’ve found their tribe and a true sense of belonging. We even have members who have been with us almost since day one. It's the simple moments that tell the real story of our community: a group of housemates bonding over spontaneous hawker dinners, or a shared hike that blossoms into a lasting friendship. These are the stories of belonging that happen every day. Through our regular events and community partnerships, Casa Mia has become more than just a place to live; it's a place where connections are made and memories are built.
Built with Technology, Grown with Trust
Our beautifully designed homes are just one part of the equation. We’ve leveraged technology to simplify every step of the rental journey for both our members and our team. From virtual room tours and seamless digital onboarding to a centralized support platform, we've eliminated friction and made the entire process effortless. This operational efficiency has been the backbone of our growth, helping us scale to serve over 2,000 members from 80+ nationalities. By automating the essentials, we've maintained a remarkable 93%+ occupancy rate and reached S$8 million in revenue, all while staying true to our community-first values. Our tech allows us to focus on what matters most: our people.
Looking Forward
This journey wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated team. While our heart remains in Singapore, our team now spans five countries across the Asia-Pacific region. A shared passion for community building and simplifying life for our members unites them. With their hard work and dedication, we look forward to continuing our growth journey in Singapore and expanding our presence beyond.
As we step into another year, we are more committed than ever to our vision of easy living in a thriving community. We will continue to expand our reach, enhance our services, and create new opportunities for our members to connect and thrive.
