Cohabs

Cohabs required an advanced access control solution to support a growing coliving portfolio and deliver a seamless resident experience. With a mix of private bedrooms, shared living spaces, and operational areas, the system needed to provide flexible, individual access permissions while maintaining high security standards.   

Onboarding needed to be effortless, said Cohabs Chief Development Officer Martin Kisielewicz: Residents should be able to access their home and settle in immediately, without complexity or delays. 

A cornerstone of Cohabs’ vision is deploying smart access technology at every touchpoint of its properties, enhancing safety, sustainability, and the resident experience. Whether accessing the property perimeter, common areas, or private rooms, users should benefit from a consistent, frictionless experience. 

Achieving this vision required an access control solution that went beyond traditional security. The system needed to become an integral part of daily operations, delivering seamless access management while empowering residents and staff with greater convenience, flexibility, and control   

As Cohabs continues to expand across multiple cities and properties, scalability and ease of management were also critical factors in selecting the right solution. 

Cohabs selected Salto’s smart locking technology and access control solutions to streamline facility access and identity management across its properties. The Salto KS cloud-based solution provides flexible, scalable, and secure access control designed for the unique needs of shared living environments. 

By centralizing access management in the cloud, Cohabs can efficiently manage permissions, streamline operations, and deliver a seamless, keyless experience for residents and staff alike. The solution supports secure access across all entry points, from perimeter entrances and shared spaces to private rooms, while offering the flexibility needed to accommodate a dynamic and growing community. 

The Salto system enables Cohabs to assign and manage access rights individually, ensuring that residents can seamlessly move through permitted areas while restricting access to private or operational spaces. This is especially important in properties with a wide range of shared amenities, including kitchens, coworking areas, gyms, lounges, and storage spaces. 

By integrating Salto access control into its own resident app, Cohabs has created a fully connected experience that simplifies onboarding and daily use. This integration plays a key role in delivering the seamless, “move-in ready” experience Cohabs aims to provide. The solution also supports Cohabs’ continued growth, allowing new properties and access points to be added efficiently while maintaining a consistent user experience across its
