Blueground

Blueground is an international property rental firm that was established in 2013 by Alexandros Chatzieleftheriou. The firm specializes in modern housing and provides fully furnished apartments available on mid- and long-term leases. The business is based in New York City and has been developed to cater to professionals, remote workers, and travelers requiring comfortable housing without the need to sign regular long leases. Blueground’s vision is based on the idea that it is easy to live in other cities while still having a fully furnished home.

The company’s fundamental service is the offer of fully furnished apartments ready to move into in the most popular areas of major cities, such as NYC, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, etc. Rather than renting vacant apartments, Blueground also furnishes every unit with furniture, kitchen appliances, home essentials, linens, and WiFi, so tenants can move in right away. Its platform and mobile application help its guests to control bookings, rent payments, maintenance, and make reservations for services like cleaning and maintenance. Other facilities can also be provided, such as stocked kitchens, smart TVs, and gyms, pools, or outdoor areas, depending on the property.

The company also operates Blueground for Business, a program for companies that need to relocate employees or provide long-term business travel accommodation. In this service, companies will have an opportunity to reserve furnished apartments for employees in business centers around the globe. The workers have the option of apartments via special booking engines, and the service may include add-on services for the apartments, such as stocking their house with groceries, customized household items, or even family-friendly services for a longer lease period.

Having integrated property management services with a technology-based reservation system, the company provides flexible furnished apartments in the major cities worldwide. It operates a number of apartments in excess of 15,000 in more than 30 cities around the globe and accommodates thousands of guests. Its properties are based in the large cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Dubai, Athens, and Istanbul, with the intention of spreading to other cities around the world.
