Your partner for hiring outstanding serviced apartments

An A-Z partner to bring an outstanding serviced apartment to market.

As a specialist for serviced apartments, we competently answer all questions for developers, operators and existing owners. And advise you on the entire project development and subsequent operation of a serviced apartment: What equipment is perfect for your target group and your budget? How do you achieve similarly high room rates (ADRs) as a hotel with higher revenue per unit, and at a significantly lower level of service? What all should you offer the residents of your serviced apartment to make them feel at home and stay as long as possible? How do you manage to efficiently deploy as few employees as necessary and achieve your goals in the long term? As an operator, how do you develop a strong brand over the long term that enables high occupancy and rebooking rates?

We know the answers. And develop for you from it well thought-out, attractive and completely ready to move in serviced apartments, which you can market successfully.

Times are changing.
And so are people’s living requirements.
Benefit from our extensive expertise, from consulting to interior design for your serviced apartments!

It is becoming increasingly rare for people to spend their entire lives in one and the same place of residence. Instead, the greatest possible mobility has become a natural part of modern life. A current example of this is the target group of digital nomads. This trend has now reached most German cities. Those of our customers who have implemented a serviced apartment or are operating one are already benefiting from high occupancy rates and attractive returns. Because this form of housing is increasingly in demand due to its advantages. Serviced apartments are the contemporary solution for those who prefer to stay “in their own four walls” rather than in a hotel, even when traveling for a short or longer period of time.

As a consultant and property installer of serviced apartments, our team is at your disposal from the first conversation to the finished installation. And even beyond.

More space, pleasure and return on investment in one.

Boardinghouses apartments are popular because of their versatility. With WA & AL Apartmentsyou can now make fully automated commercial apartments work for you.

We develop and realize object furnishings, where the living offer of a boarding house coincides 1:1 with the wishes and needs of your target group. This allows you to generate overnight rates and room rates that give you attractive returns.

Well thought-out solutions to the following challenges are crucial: Which concept do I have to choose in order to be as attractive as possible for my target group while investing as little service effort and personnel costs in my boarding house as possible? How do I manage to make the boarding house apartments and apartments more desirable than my competitors are able to? How do I succeed in creating a brand with the object that anchors itself with my target group and attracts further users? We know the answers. And discuss them in a personal meeting.

Always on the road and yet at home.

Whether management consultants, IT specialists, engineers, highly qualified craftsmen, trade fair builders or other professions that are permanently on the road for long periods of time – more and more of these modern nomads are looking for a part-time home for their job assignments. And find them in a boardinghouse: a furnished living concept that offers fully furnished rooms or apartments with relatively few services and is specifically designed to meet the needs of long-stay residents. There, residents often no longer have to constantly pack and unpack their belongings, can cook for themselves, and enjoy a lot of homeliness and atmosphere. This form of “temporary living” is very similar to serviced apartments and often means the same offer.

On the road on business and yet at home.

Businessmen or startup entrepreneurs who are on site for longer-term projects love comfortable business apartments.

These are often a focus of boarding houses, serviced apartments and apartment buildings. Intelligently and qualitatively furnished, comfortably equipped and attractively designed, they become a small but nice retreat after exhausting working days. And at the same time to a quiet place to work, to prepare for the professional challenges of the next day. To that end, business apartments offer all the essentials you need for your stay: a fully equipped kitchen, an appealing and homely atmosphere, smooth online check-in, lockable lockers and sometimes even laundry services, concierge services and other amenities.

The growing number of people interested in business apartments makes them a temporary form of housing that promises high demand and returns.

Benefit from the experience and creativity of WA & AL Apartments in the design and implementation of this form of housing. We know exactly the special wishes and requirements of the target group and advise you on all important points. What equipment is optimal within a given budget? How can I make my business apartment more desirable than the competitors for demanding business people? How do I create a service offering that provides everything necessary while requiring as little effort and staff as possible? We will give you answers to this and everything else in a personal conversation.

The little ones that are big in the making.

With WA & AL Apartmentsas a partner, investing in the growing market of micro apartments is a wise decision.

Because we are at your side with all our experience from the first consultation to the turnkey object handover. And even beyond, for example with our nationwide maintenance and repair service. Benefit from our insight into the wishes and needs of the most diverse residents of your microapartments. Offer your target group a coherent living concept with our contract furnishings that really deserves the name “space miracle”. With an expected return on your project that is macro instead of micro.

Microapartments with their 15 m² to 35 m² of living space are fully in vogue and enjoy great popularity.

No wonder, because especially in metropolitan areas, living space is scarce and expensive. As a developer, operator or existing owner, you will benefit from this development and can now exploit the full potential of this form of living with WA & AL Apartments. We know the special rules of the game when it comes to equipping and furnishing microapartments (e.g. for urban nomads). And master the art of getting the maximum living quality out of the available space. With everything the modern person needs to live and feel good; including multifunctional furniture, contemporary design and a homely atmosphere. Thus, a residential concept designed by WA & AL Apartments in a small space always shows true greatness – also in terms of yield opportunities. Microapartments are often located in boardinghouses or serviced apartments.

An additional advantage for our clients is the long-standing presence of our sister companies in residential construction.

We know this specific industry inside out and have an excellent understanding of a property’s potential. This also makes WAAL a consultant for you whose living concepts are capable of long-term success and increasing the value of your furnished property. And thus maximize your return on investment.

Germany’s cities are becoming increasingly crowded and expensive. Especially in metropolitan areas, new megatrends in “living” are changing the way we live.

In addition, people are increasingly orienting themselves to international customs: Arrive, unpack and immediately feel at home is the need of many people from Germany and abroad. The demand for enormous mobility for professional success and changed user needs in the areas of living, comfort and design imperatively require contemporary solutions. We took a close look at the market. And it was immediately clear that these demands could not be met with the existing offerings. Because the solutions we found turned out to be uniform, unattractive, expensive and uneconomical. There was a lack of a provider who – with a complete offer from a single source – could turn all these tasks, which promise great opportunities and attractive returns, into furnished living concepts for our developers, operators and portfolio holders.

The development of new product concepts for the real estate industry has long been a significant part of our work.

So we took matters into our own hands and founded WAAL. We have assembled a team of experienced individuals who are highly professional in the various aspects of developing, equipping and implementing furnished living arrangements. We have built up unrestricted access to all areas and budgets of the furnishings market through countless discussions. Have attended from many international trade shows to find the world’s best furniture solutions and discuss future visions. And tinkered with new ideas with product designers and master carpenters until we were finally satisfied. The only thing we didn’t rediscover in all this time was the needs of our clients. Because we have known them for a long time.

Those who, like our clients, rightly have high expectations, will find in WA & AL Apartmentsa partner at eye level.

This is because we have a well-established core team of committed and experienced individuals. These include architects, interior designers, dipl. Business economists, product and furniture experts and designers, and project managers. We are also supported by master carpenters, trained fabric and textile experts and real estate experts. We are thus able to view and evaluate every object first from the all-important helicopter perspective and then from all other angles. In this way, we develop the best possible living concept in each case, which perfectly and efficiently implements your wishes as a developer, operator or existing owner and later resident, thus guaranteeing your sustainable project success.

We shape the future with smart projects
