Gathering the Corporates to
find a home

If you have a job where you need to travel extensively then the corporate housing seems like
a miracle. An oasis in the desert of a city. There is the expense to be considered. If you travel
by car or airplane to another city you want to minimize costs. If your business is built on
travelling then your travel costs are your most expensive commodity and affect your bottom
line. Another example is Global Corporate housing which also offers one, two and three-
bedroom apartments at much lower rates than hotels. Take a floor plan example. The average
floor plan offered by GCA (Global corporate housing) ranges from 700 square feet and the
rate around $85 to $115 per night whilst a hotel of similar sized accommodation would cost
you in the region of $125 to $295 per night. Quite a difference. Also, having a fully equipped
kitchen enables you to eat healthier, the foods you would normally have at home. Whilst in a
hot you are more or less confined to a menu unless you decide to go out to eat each day. This
defeats the object of the hotel. Imaging the difference if a company was paying a fee for its
temporary employees' accommodation.
There are so many plusses offered by GCA, being a home from home, a furnished apartment
has its own TV, a clothes washer and dryer, ironing facilities, high speed wireless
communication (Wi-Fi) and of course, a cordless phone. Residing at such accommodation an
employer who may be renting the accommodation permanently and who may have
employees coming and going, save a virtual mint of cash. Today, many specialists such as
chemists from the pharmaceutical industry, NASA, OTC drug companies commute monthly.
It does not pay a corporate to permanently employ such specialists but rather to hire them on
a specific project basis or simply to gain their experience monthly. GCA or CHBO is
therefore a necessity.
