CO-HO: Structuring Circular Common Spaces for Living, Sustainable Cities
The 2026 Resolutions
By 2026, cities and real estate projects will no longer be judged solely on what they build, but on how spaces are lived, shared and sustained over time.
At CO-HO, we believe shared spaces must move beyond good intentions and isolated experiments. They need to become structured, reliable and economically viable components of the built environment.
Our 2026 resolutions are therefore not aspirations, but commitments.
They define a clear trajectory: from standardisation to experience, from local impact to international replication.
A Missing Building Block in Modern Real Estate
Shared spaces have become essential in contemporary real estate and urban development. They improve quality of life, support mixed uses and contribute to neighbourhood revitalisation. Yet they remain costly to design, complex to operate and often underutilised.
CO-HO was created to address this gap by designing, manufacturing and operating prefabricated, circular common spaces, conceived as light infrastructure for real estate and urban projects.
Rather than multiplying concepts or use cases, CO-HO focuses on standardising a function that is still poorly structured: shared spaces. Clear, modular and repeatable solutions that can be deployed quickly and integrated seamlessly into housing projects, temporary sites or urban regeneration initiatives.
CO-HO is neither a coliving operator nor a lifestyle brand. It is a practical tool for developers, public authorities and private–public partnerships.
In contemporary real estate and urban development projects, shared spaces have become essential. They improve quality of life, support mixed uses and contribute to the revitalisation of neighbourhoods. Yet today, they remain costly to design, complex to operate and often underutilised.
CO-HO was created in response to this gap.
A Circular, Industrialised and Desirable Approach
CO-HO’s first ambition is industrial.
By 2026, the company aims to standardise the production of circular prefabricated modules, systematically integrating reuse, sustainable materials and controlled off-site construction processes. This standardisation secures costs and timelines while making circular construction economically viable at scale.
At the same time, CO-HO seeks to become a Belgian reference in circular design for sustainable construction.
Belgium’s pioneering role in this field provides a unique context to demonstrate that circularity can be functional, desirable and financially sound.
Design is not treated as an aesthetic layer, but as a lever for adoption and replication.
Experience as a Driver of Viability
Beyond physical modules, CO-HO develops a holistic experience of place, integrating well-being, artistic expression and light cultural programming.
This approach is not lifestyle-driven. It responds to a very concrete objective: ensuring long-term use, acceptance and economic viability of shared spaces.
CO-HO spaces are designed to be calm, welcoming and rooted in their local context, offering room for cultural and artistic initiatives that enhance everyday use rather than dominate it.
Experience becomes a tool for urban acceptance, sustained activity and long-term value creation.
From Pilot Projects to a Platform Model
CO-HO’s development strategy is deliberately progressive.
From 2027 onwards, the ambition is to deploy modular urban villages in Brussels, built on strong private–public partnerships. The ALMA site in Wiener serves as a first multi-season operating project, enabling CO-HO to refine its operational model, user experience and economic balance under real conditions.
These projects aim to demonstrate that neighbourhood revitalisation can be achieved through light, reversible and economically viable interventions, without resorting to heavy or exclusionary developments.
A Replicable and Exportable Model
Once these foundations are established, CO-HO plans, by 2028, to replicate and export its model to other cities and countries facing similar challenges: urban activation, ecological transition, quality of life and cost control.
Through standardisation, proven operations and local partnerships, CO-HO positions itself as an exportable standard for circular common spaces.
Financing a Trajectory, Not a Vision
CO-HO’s fundraising is not intended to finance an abstract vision. It supports a structured trajectory with clear milestones, from industrialisation to replication.
CO-HO is building a platform designed to support cities and territories: pragmatic, desirable and operable.
A concrete response to complex urban challenges, delivered through simple, controlled and human-centred solutions.
