Hive is a new ‘co-living space’ giving people on annual rental contracts the freedom to move out whenever they want without incurring hefty penalties. It opened to residents in January 2022 and has 175 rooms, from studios to four-bedroom apartments.
To rent an apartment at Hive tenants are required to have an Emirates ID and have to sign contracts on an annual basis. They then pay two months’ rent to move in, one month of which is a refundable deposit, and can opt to leave the apartment early by giving 30 days’ notice. This is quite different from the industry norm which requires the landlord to be compensated if a tenant cancels the contract early. The penalty is usually between one and two months’ rent.
Tenants pay their rent monthly through a dedicated mobile app. They do not have to set up Ejaris or pay large deposits for air conditioning or Dewa services. At Hive it is all set up and included in the price. As of April 2022 studio apartments start from Dh5,500 a month, one-bedroom units at Dh6,500 a month and three- and four-bedroom units start from Dh4,500 per month per person. Bigger apartments can be shared by a group of people, but everyone has to sign the contract. Each apartment is fully furnished and decorated in a modern style. They each come with a smart TV, microwave, fridge-freezer, gas hob, kettle and toaster.
Hive caters for young professionals who do not need a huge amount of space in an apartment, so the building optimises the space in the communal areas. On the ground floor, there is a communal kitchen fitted out with modern appliances, a large lounge and co-working space that includes working pods, a gamers’ room, a laundromat and a terrace barbecue area. There is a rooftop lap and lounge pool, an open-air cinema and gym, and an amphitheatre, all of which are free to use by tenants. There are lots of free events for tenants including DJs, rooftop yoga sessions, seminars and free BBQs to make people feel part of a community.
