MYLOFT Loft Apartments
Smart Living Concept
Transforming Empty Offices into Scalable, High-Return Housing for the Future
Executive Summary
MYLOFT delivers up to 50% returns in Germany’s top agglomerations, turning vacant offices into high-yield apartments - fast. The model scales seamlessly across any real-estate market with high housing demand.
Concept & Architectural Vision
The MYLOFT apartment concept is rooted in the architectural ambition to achieve maximum functionality and visual clarity within a minimal footprint. Rather than following the conventional logic of compact living, MYLOFT introduces a new spatial strategy in which every surface is precisely considered and designed for multiple uses. The model is deliberately crafted to adapt to a wide range of existing office building typologies, offering exceptional flexibility for urban conversions and positioning MYLOFT as an ideal format for both short-stay and mid-stay living.
Spatial Innovation & Living Quality
At the core of the MYLOFT system is the ambition to generate additional spatial quality within the same square meters, without increasing the unit’s physical size. The key architectural element - the elevated night zone - creates a clearly defined secondary level, introducing intuitive vertical zoning across the unit. This structure divides the space into distinct yet fluid functional areas: a living zone, a work area, an intimate sleeping zone, and integrated storage. As a result, the unit operates like several rooms in one, offering a living experience that is significantly richer and more comfortable than standard hotel rooms or micro-apartments.
Investment Logic & Market Advantage
For investors and property owners, MYLOFT delivers a model that enhances unit value, differentiates the offer from typical studio layouts, and enables a scalable pathway to transform underutilized office space into next-generation housing. MYLOFT is not merely a compact unit - it is an architectural concept that redefines urban micro-living, merging design intelligence, functionality, and strong market appeal into a single high-performing product.
MYLOFT Layout
Key precondition: Room height of ~3.05–3.20 m (or higher) to allow the elevated sleeping platform. Offices often have such ceiling heights which makes them ideal conversion candidates.

Housing shortage in Germany – macro view
Germany currently faces an estimated shortage of around 700,000 apartments nationwide. Germany needs to build about 320,000 new apartments per year through 2030 to meet demand. In 2024, only about 251,900 units were completed - leaving a shortfall of roughly 68,000 apartments for that year. → This growing shortfall adds tens of thousands more to the housing gap each year. The supply-demand imbalance is particularly acute in the metropolitan zones of larger cities.
Office oversupply / changing office demand
The commercial office sector in Germany is undergoing structural change: hybrid work, reduced demand for older/less modern stock

Why it solves the housing problem like no other
Provides greater privacy and functional flexibility than typical studio layouts (thanks to an elevated and partially separated sleeping zone
Compact unit size keeps total rent and required investment volume low, supporting strong scalability. It also broadens the target group: it is easily rentable across the housing market and equally attractive to individual real estate investors.
Leveraging the existing office shell reduces costs, risks, and delivery timelines relative to new construction.

Rethinking Space in Times of Housing Shortage
MYLOFT concept offers the comfort and functionality of an apartment with 50% more space - without the extra cost.
A separate sleeping area creates a subtle psychological boundary that promotes privacy and helps the mind unwind, making the space feel calmer and more restorative.
Triggered by an ongoing housing shortage, the innovative room design solves the underlying challenge by creating the experience of living in a larger, richer space through smart spatial thinking rather than added square meters.

Financial Return Example - Munich - In depth
Why NOW?
With almost 7 million vacant sqms of office space across major cities in Germany, there is high potential for conversion.
While the real estate market is down and about to take off, with housing on a low point and vacant offices on the rise, this is a historic opportunity.
Even if just 3% of vacant office buildings were to meet location and structural criteria, the market would still offer roughly 210,000 m² - around 20 buildings. Each project costs roughly €50 million and delivers up to €25 million in profit.
MYLOFT Concept in Practice
A major project is currently underway in an economic hotspot on the outskirts of Munich: an office building is being converted into short-stay apartments based on the MYLOFT concept, transforming approximately 7,000 m² into around 265 units.
Next steps: capital raise, building acquisitions, conversion partners, investor sales platform, management set-up.
