Envisioning new ways of living based on smart economics, technology and community.


"Founded as a multidisciplinary development think tank, PhenomenaLab combines Design Thinking, Technology & Community to create developments that support both owners and end users. These communities provide patrons an experience that is based on an elevated architecture of increased social and economic value not seen in traditional real estate projects."

We were among the first pioneers to plan and design for the Coliving Space in it's nascent years. These projects explored pushing the limits of what is possible for shared amenities with the largest operators and developers in the category. Learning lessons from projects, we were then able to apply a lean program combined with maximum social benefit from workforce housing to the global digital nomad.



Some of our current projects focus on Co-living congregate housing with our first development project rolled out and operated already in 2019. We combine elements from both the hospitality and residential experiences to create more collaborative and community like spaces that are tailored to contemporary flexible urban living. PhenomenaLab designs, develops, owns & operates these low cost high yield properties by leveraging shared amenities such as community kitchens, entertainment, and working spaces while increasing the density of rental rooms per community.



Additional experimental projects include technology that focuses on the combination of virtual apps and physical architectural design. This research & development is built around 3D printing, interactive platforms via game engines, 5d web interfaces, design/construction virtual interface, and apps that provide autonomous tenant services. Some of these future focused research projects are intended to disrupt current real estate paradigms and elevate our tenants/patrons experience through augmented technology.
