ABOUT FÖRESTÅ

Förestå is an innovative co-living brand which serves all the players of the co-living equation. The brand promotes wellbeing and prosperity and focuses on the client experience.

Unlike typical estate agencies Förestå was designed with both end clients in mind, aiming to provide an excellent management service to landlords and a unique co-living experience to professionals.

The name Förestå is derived from the Swedish word förstå which means to understand. Förestå strives to understand the needs of her members and is always open to deepening the understanding and adjusting in order to satisfy the member’s needs. In Swedish Förestå means to lead, Förestå aims to lead positive change in the co-living world. Another meaning of the word is to manage, Förestå manages the interests of all the parties involved.

The brand was founded with the aim to deliver both landlords and tenants a transformed experience.

The brand operates with Scandinavian values in mind. From interior design to lifestyle, every aspect of the co-living experience was carefully designed with the aim to improve lives of professionals sharing accommodation.

The Scandinavians have long been known for sustainability. In Scandinavia sustainability can be seen everywhere in both material matters like designing and manufacturing, infrastructure and relationships.

In Scandinavia people strive to live a harmonious and balanced life. The relationship with nature, people, spaces and structure is always well balanced and carefully engineered while always thinking long term. The Scandinavians know that in order to achieve individual happiness and fulfilment all the pieces of the puzzle should be addressed and looked after. This approach is used in homes, schools, businesses and by the government.

Förestå borrows those principles from the various Scandinavian cultures to create a prosperous community where people feel connected. This enables everyone to work together towards a better future. Together we can make an impact and have a positive footprint.
