Tax treatment

Deduct 100% in year one.

Normally a building improvement is depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years. Because our mini-rooms are furniture and equipment, they qualify for full first-year expensing — a rule the 2025 tax law (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) made permanent for anything acquired after January 19, 2025.

For a taxable operator, that materially reduces the effective cost of the install. Confirm treatment with your own CPA.

03 — PROCESS

How it works.

01

Survey

Send us your floor plan or book a 20-minute walkthrough. We confirm mini-room count and the legal occupant count for your building.

02

Install

Mini-rooms arrive flat-packed and are assembled in place in hours, just like an Ikea pack, very easily. Furniture, not construction: no demolition, no fixed works, no structural changes.

03

Earn

We help place residents from our 1,200+ person SF waitlist so rooms don't sit empty. You set the rent, keep the lease, and collect the uplift. We maintain the hardware and software.

04 — Why residents pay more

Not another bunk bed. A product they want.

Founders, researchers, and tech workers in SF will pay $1,000–$1,400 for a private, lockable, biometric-tuned mini-room — meaningfully more than a bunk in a shared room. That premium is what turns the same square footage into nearly 3× the rent.

05 — Regulatory · San Francisco

Furniture, not construction: three straightforward routes.

Installing mini-rooms does not trigger a building permit the way fixed construction does. We confirm classification and legal occupant count per building, and guide you through the whole process.

Route A

Already Group Housing

SF Planning Code 890.88 — no change of use. We verify sq-ft per person under Housing Code 503 and make an occupancy plan.

Under 7 days end-to-end
Route B

Existing residential

Change-of-use filing to Group Housing. Staff-level administrative decision in most zones, no public hearing.

Under 30 days
Route C

Office or commercial

AB 507 (effective July 1, 2026) makes conversion to housing by-right in all zones: no public hearing, no CEQA. Ministerial permit.

60–90 days

SB 79 (effective July 1, 2026) sets state minimum densities near qualifying transit that the city cannot undercut. This applies to California.

06 — Cleaning

Patent-pending cleaning mechanics. Clean the mini-room in 5 minutes total.

We developed a proprietary cleaning model specifically for mini-rooms that lets staff make the bed, remove and replace sheets, and sanitize the entire pod in less time than a traditional hotel room turnaround. Our patent-pending mechanism makes changing sheets effortless and time-efficient.

Bed + sheets
Under 2 min
Surfaces + sanitize
Under 3 min
How it works
  • Integrated sheet-strap system makes the bed in one motion
  • Mattress cover is wipeable and antimicrobial — no mattress pad needed
  • All surfaces are easy access for wiping
  • UV-C air pass and HEPA filter reset run automatically between guests

07 — Office space

Empty desks into income-generating rooms.

Underused office and commercial space is one of the fastest paths to housing. With group housing regulatory pathways. Our mini-rooms install as furniture, no construction, no permits, no drywall.  You keep the lease, we bring the residents.
