Be Casa, the innovative flexible living brand by Greystar—a global leader in investment, development, and management of residential assets—will open its first community in Sant Cugat del Vallès before the summer. Be Casa Sant Cugat, located at Carrer de Ramon Llull 45, will offer residents 400 fully furnished apartments, including studios and one- and two-bedroom units, designed to accommodate a wide range of stay durations and needs.
Its strategic location, in one of the main residential and business hubs in the Barcelona metropolitan area with fast connections to the city center, makes this new community an attractive solution for those seeking flexible accommodation for professional, personal, or academic reasons. The project contributes to meeting Sant Cugat’s temporary housing needs, aligning with the municipality’s efforts to provide housing solutions tailored to professionals, students, and visitors.
This development responds to evolving housing demands, as more people seek solutions that combine flexibility, services, and quality of life. The flex living model promoted by Greystar enables tailored stays while integrating services and shared spaces that simplify daily living.
Residents at Be Casa Sant Cugat will benefit from fully equipped apartments and access to more than 7,000 sqm of common areas, including coworking spaces, a gym, outdoor swimming pool, summer cinema, rooftop with barbecue area, social club, gardens, and sports and recreational areas, among others—spaces designed to foster community and well-being. The development is also pet-friendly.
Its all-inclusive policy covers utilities such as electricity, water, climate control, and Wi-Fi, as well as services including maintenance, cleaning, regular towel and linen changes, 24-hour security, and reception. Optional services such as additional cleaning, parking, and vending machines are also available.
The building’s design combines functionality and comfort, offering spaces suited for both private living and social interaction. The project also incorporates advanced sustainability and energy efficiency criteria, achieving a BREEAM rating of “Excellent.” Measures include the use of sustainable materials, aerothermal systems, electric vehicle charging points, and bicycle facilities, contributing to the municipality’s sustainability goals.
Rafael Fernández-Villaverde, Managing Director Southern Europe at Greystar Spain, stated: “Flex living is no longer an emerging trend; it is becoming a consolidated residential category that requires professional management and a long-term vision. At Greystar, we are building one of the most relevant platforms in this segment in Spain, with a clear focus on economically dynamic markets such as the Barcelona area. Projects like Be Casa Sant Cugat reflect our ability to identify opportunities, invest with conviction, and develop products adapted to a new residential reality.”
The Be Casa flex living model combines flexibility and services designed to integrate into the urban and social fabric of Sant Cugat, supporting quality of life and community development beyond purely commercial objectives.
The Sant Cugat community offers an innovative solution for those requiring temporary accommodation—from short stays to several months—as well as for those seeking alternatives to traditional renting or homeownership. The flex living model combines flexibility, services, and shared spaces that facilitate work-life balance while fostering a sense of community and well-being.
Be Casa continues to expand its presence with operational communities in Madrid (Rivas-Vaciamadrid, San Sebastián de los Reyes, Valdebebas, and Alcobendas), as well as projects in Bizkaia and Catalonia, totaling more than 4,800 apartments across operational and development assets.
