In a world where life paths are no longer linear, and the boundaries between work, leisure, and home continue to blur, Weave Living has emerged as a forward-thinking force reshaping the future of urban living. Founded in 2017 by Sachin Doshi in Hong Kong, Weave Living was born from a clear vision: to provide thoughtfully designed rental homes that empower people to thrive in the world’s most dynamic cities.
As a current resident of one of their properties on Hong Kong Island, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with the Weave Living team. This discussion greatly inspired me with their success story, innovative growth strategies, and ambitious vision for the future of modern living. Experiencing their concept firsthand has enabled me to see the significant influence of their mission: to reimagine the rental home experience for modern lifestyles.
Filling the Gaps in Modern Urban Living
Modern renters and global expats seek more than just four walls when relocating to a new city; they desire spaces that resonate with their lifestyle, values, and changing needs. Weave Living identified that traditional housing models fail to meet today’s urban residents’ flexible and mobile characteristics. Their response is a collection of adaptable, design-focused living options that prioritize functionality and enhance the home experience, complete with access to community events and a feeling of belonging in a new city.
From young professionals to families with pets, Weave’s diverse offerings include Weave Residences, Weave Suites, Weave Place, and Weave Studios. Each concept is designed to cater to the distinct rhythms of urban life, emphasizing the company’s recognition that “home” is as varied as its inhabitants.
A Resident’s Perspective: Living at Weave
As a current resident of Weave Suites on Hong Kong Island, I’ve had the chance to experience firsthand what makes Weave Living such a unique and forward-thinking concept. Situated in Central, between charming local cafés and traditional Chinese markets, my home places me right in the heart of Hong Kong’s vibrant city life—yet within a building that provides every modern comfort I need.
Living in Weave Suites offers the perfect balance between privacy and social life. I enjoy the comfort of my modern private space while accessing shared amenities. I particularly appreciate the co-working space, gym, and large, shared kitchen with a generous dining area, which allows me to stay productive, healthy, and socially connected—all under one roof.
The strong sense of community is one of the most rewarding aspects of living, especially for anyone coming to a new foreign city, like me, to Hong Kong. Through events organized by the Weave team, I have made three new friendships and built meaningful connections with other expats. From chocolate-making workshops for Valentine’s Day to Chinese New Year dinners, museum visits, boat tours, and public games, these events bring together inspiring international residents in a natural, enjoyable way.
What makes the experience even more meaningful is that I have had the chance to host two financial workshops for the Weave community. Sharing knowledge and contributing to the environment that Weave has thoughtfully curated is incredibly fulfilling. They provide a place to stay and create a platform for growth, connection, and inspiration.
As someone passionate about innovative and sustainable business models, I find Weave’s approach to urban living truly inspiring. It’s a lifestyle concept that blends independence with belonging — one that I believe will only become more relevant as urban populations continue to grow and evolve.
Scaling with Strategy and Purpose
Thanks to its strategic vision and consumer focus, Weave has successfully expanded from the Hong Kong market to a regional presence across Asia. Key to this growth was the understanding that modern living demands innovative solutions. With forward-thinking design and a deep understanding of evolving resident needs, Weave thoughtfully incorporated workspaces, meeting rooms, in-house gyms, kitchen areas, and networking opportunities to provide the best living experience for its residents.
Fundamental to its success has been control over the full value chain: Weave owns, develops, manages, and operates every one of its properties. This vertical integration allows the company to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience across all locations – whether in Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo or potential markets like Australia and India. Weave selects only the most desirable neighborhoods in each city, ensuring residents are connected to excellent infrastructure, amenities, and a vibrant community.
A Vision for the Future of Weave Living
Looking to the future, Weave Living aims to become the go-to name for urban living across the Asia Pacific. More than just growth, the goal is transformation: building a network of vibrant, design-forward spaces that support personal and professional journeys. This speaks to more than convenience — trust, consistency, and a deep understanding of what today’s residents value most.
