From researchers and architects to designers and operators, Core is made up of risk takers and dreamers who are on a mission to invent the future of living.

Everything Core does stems from this culture of collaboration and innovation, and the drive to constantly improve the resident experience. This unique approach has led to creating spaces and services that are redefining the way people live.
