NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blueground, the largest global operator of furnished, flexible rentals for 30+ day stays, announces its partnership with CORT Furniture Rental - the nation’s leading provider of furniture rental and transition services in the U.S. This collaboration will enable Blueground to seamlessly expand its On Demand housing business across the country, offering thoughtfully designed and fully furnished living spaces where and when clients need them. With CORT's furniture, Blueground will maintain the high-quality design aesthetic its clients have come to expect, perfectly tailored to meet the needs of corporate travelers. The On Demand housing model allows Blueground to offer more locations and apartment options, ensuring a wider selection for its clients. Blueground On Demand will be available in 2,000 cities and towns across the U.S.
Blueground was co-founded 10 years ago by CEO Alex Chatzieleftheriou, who, after many years as a business traveler, had experienced first-hand the pain points of living out of hotels while traveling for work for months at a time. He aspired to create a way that people could feel settled and at home, while free to explore the world. Since its inception, Blueground has been committed to transforming houses into homes by providing tech-powered, fully furnished apartments for stays of a month, a year, or even longer. This partnership with CORT, a part of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, will offer flexible, stylish, and comfortable furniture options to further personalize the living experience.
"This collaboration with CORT is a significant step forward for Blueground. It enables us to enhance our On Demand program and offer a more personalized, quality living experience to our clients,” said Ryn Jarrett, VP of Strategic Partnerships, Blueground. “We are excited about the opportunities this partnership presents and are confident it will further strengthen our position in the industry."
Dan Daly, National Account Executive of the One Point Program at CORT, also expressed his excitement about this new venture. "We are thrilled to partner with Blueground, a company that shares our dedication to providing superior quality and service. We believe this partnership will set a new standard for the furnished apartment industry.”
This partnership is a testament to Blueground's dedication to continuous improvement and innovation in its service. With CORT's furniture rental solutions, Blueground clients will enjoy even more flexibility and convenience, affirming the company's position as a front-runner in the furnished apartment industry. With 18,000 apartments already in Blueground’s global portfolio, On Demand will now offer even more options and availability for guests, making it possible to find a furnished, flexible rental in any location across the U.S.
