What defines FHS Living
Built to move conversations into transactions
A deliberately curated initiative that funnels capital towards a selected mix of living assets – an answer to the lanyard fatigue of the European conference circuit.
Pre‑scheduled 1:1 introductions between allocators, developers and operators, matched on investment criteria – with an Investor Lounge, a live Deal Room and site tours of active Paris projects.
An agenda built around investment decisions. Every session, from Underwriting Living Assets to Europe Meets Middle East, supports capital deployment – shaped by the C‑level decision‑makers in the room.
The living sectors
Nine asset classes. One agenda.
Branded Residences
Hospitality‑serviced, for‑sale product – Europe’s fastest‑compounding living class.
Student Accommodation
Counter‑cyclical demand against a structural supply gap across university cities.
Senior Living
Demographics as destiny: the largest untapped institutional opportunity in Europe.
Serviced Living
Extended‑stay economics blurring the line between hospitality and residential.
Co‑Living
Operationally intensive, yield‑accretive density for the urban renter generation.
Shared Ownership
Fractional structures opening prime leisure assets to a wider capital base.
Club Concepts
Membership economics layered onto real assets – recurring revenue with resilience.
Mixed Use
Single footprints flexing between guest, resident and member across the cycle.
Hotels & Resorts
The original operating asset class – repriced for a converged living market.
Founding advisors
Guided by principals
Senior leaders across all nine asset classes – drawn from 40 confirmed founding advisors spanning capital, development and operations.

What the industry is saying
The market asked. We answered.
The market is still fragmented. Large events are too broad, and niche ones don’t have the right scale.
Jeff TisdallChief Business Officer, Accor One Living
A conference that brings all of this together would be a huge success.
Dirk BakkerChief Executive Officer, Necron Hospitality
I wish there was a business event that brings together key living categories across European real estate in a single place.
