Corporate Housing and
Business Expansion
• Corporate housing may be the executive suite of a hotel, the top floor of an
apartment building, or at rare times may actually be a single family home. The
space comes fully furnished with furniture, appliances, towels, bed sheets,
toiletries, a fully functional kitchen etc. The majority of the time, other services are
included. There is usually a cleaning service, a dry cleaning service, and
maintenance services on hand. This allows for the employee for a quick and
easy move and transition to the new temporary location. The business sending
them does not want to waste time and money on the employee having to
search for a place to stay and then also have to wait for them to move and
settle in. Not to mention, those costs add up quickly, especially when moving to
a new state. The corporate housing speeds up the process and everything is
already there waiting. The employee can move in and get right to work in the
new branch location.
• This sort of temporary housing also gives large businesses other options.
Sometimes the ideal employee to send for the project is not alone. The
employee may have a family or even pets. As silly as it seems and so minute to
think about, the employee has to consider what to do with his furry friend if he
will be out of town for an extended period of time. Boarding is expensive and not
fair to the anima if it will be for a long stay. Corporate housing will, most of the
time, allow for animals while extended stay hotels may not. The other
consideration is family. It is unlikely that an employee will want to leave his family
home alone for more than just a short time. Corporate housing ranges in sizes
and very often accommodate the employee’s family, as well.
