Where to open serviced apartments

What it does

Every month: the blocks of your city with the most working-age adults, the offices, coworking spaces and universities near each, the hotels already there, scored by xMap AI, approved by you, emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Paris, count who lives around, sort them by adults_20_59 and keep the top 40, count the corporate offices, coworking spaces and universities within 1 km of each, work out new fields, score and rank them with xMap AI, keep those where fit score ≥ 60, wait for approval, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Serviced apartments fill when offices, universities and coworking spaces are a walk away. This flow ranks every block on that demand so acquisitions look in the right streets.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 240 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is advanced: 11 blocks.
