Bechester, a company specialized in comprehensive furnishing of residential assets, strengthens its commitment to flexliving in Europe by launching a €10 million leasing solution together with Actyus, the alternative financing manager of the Andbank group. The operation will boost the growth of coliving, mid-stay, corporate accommodations, and PBSA models, enabling full furnishing of assets without requiring any initial investment from investors or operators.
“Leasing is not just a financial solution; it is a strategic lever to launch assets faster without straining balance sheets or cash flow. It is especially key in flex projects where time to market determines profitability,” explains Ignacio Posadas Pinedo, co-founder of Bechester.
“At Actyus, we aim to support innovative models with international potential. Bechester combines vision, technology, and execution in a key sector like residential,” notes Ana Asuero, investor at Actyus.
The operation was legally advised by Madrid-based law firm García Silvestre Abogados, which accompanied both parties throughout the negotiation and formalization of the agreement.
New operational capacity for large-scale projects
Alongside this operation, Bechester has launched a new logistics center on the outskirts of Madrid that strengthens its ability to execute complex projects within tight deadlines. This hub improves stock management, accelerates deliveries, and reduces potential deviations — critical factors in this type of asset.
The company has also intensified its activity with international clients, centralizing projects across different countries under a single point of contact. Its model allows global operators to carry out simultaneous projects in multiple markets (currently Spain, France, and Portugal), with integrated design, supply, assembly, and logistics.
Flexliving and PBSA in Southern Europe: professionalization and integrated solutions
The flexliving market is maturing in Southern Europe, driven by higher demand for quality temporary accommodations and increasingly demanding regulatory environments. In Spain, recent regulatory changes require greater transparency and control over short- and mid-term rentals. In Portugal, cities like Lisbon and Porto are promoting more sustainable models. France is advancing sector professionalization through urban regulations that encourage responsible management of temporary housing stock.
Meanwhile, the PBSA (Purpose-Built Student Accommodation) segment stands out as one of the most active growth drivers. Bechester is already working with several clients in this niche and expects it to represent a growing share of its activity in the second half of 2025.
Over 3,500 projects and 10,000 furnished rooms in Europe
Since 2021, Bechester has developed over 3,500 projects in Spain, France, and Portugal, furnishing more than 10,000 rooms in residential assets focused on flexliving, including coliving, mid-stay, temporary or corporate lodging, as well as BTR projects. France has become a key market for the company, representing over 30% of its revenue. In Portugal, where Bechester has operated since last year, growth has been particularly rapid, driven by operators active in several European countries seeking unified solutions for outfitting entire buildings. The company has positioned itself as a strategic partner to deploy multi-unit projects with tight deadlines and uniform standards across markets.
Leasing to scale without impacting cash flow
The leasing line will be structured in three phases, depending on the volume and maturity of projects in the pipeline. The model allows developers and operators to furnish entire buildings through monthly fees, with no initial investment, no deposits, and flexible conditions.
This way, clients can convert CapEx into OpEx, maintain liquidity, and activate projects quickly, improving profitability from day one. Bechester thus strengthens its position as a strategic partner for a new real estate cycle where every day counts and operational agility and financial flexibility are key.
