Sign up for a 15 minute, 1:1 session with Tanya Morton, founder of the co-living company Morton Place, which has three properties in Belgium.

Co-living, dormitory-style accommodations for grown-ups are a growing trend in housing and real estate. At co-living properties, furnished private bedrooms and bathrooms are rented in larger, often design-focused homes or buildings. The buildings feature amenities like sports areas, movie theaters, fully equipped kitchens, and other perks that residents might not be able to afford living in larger urban center like London or New York. They also encourage community by organizing movie nights, group dinners, and other social occasions for residents who are often new to town and living solo.

Tanya’s co-living business, Morton Place, is focused on international professionals looking to stay short- or long-term in Brussels. As an undergrad at Michigan, Tanya studied English, worked at Bivouac, and lived with roommates in a large house. Her living situation later inspired her idea for Morton Place.

After graduation the bilingual English/French speaker moved to Paris (she graduated during a recession and says finding work was intimidating). She worked as an assistant at Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers in their jewelry department, cataloguing and working on client contact and event management, before returning to the U.S. in 1994 to earn an MBA from Columbia Business School.

This workshop is intended for LSA Undergraduate Students.
