5. Minimalist design and integrated kitchens
In terms of design, they prefer clean spaces, full of light and minimalist, as well as materials such as wood, metal, and concrete, without any type of luxury. They become specialists in being able to take advantage of every space that the department has. They prefer integrated kitchens without traditional storage spaces, mainly with visible utensils, where the tables function as a meeting point and become the core of the place. In this sense, the table is shared for everything: eating, working and socializing.
They are a consumer that not only looks for apartments to live in, but also as an investment instrument that provides profitability and security for their old age. This feature has activated the real estate market, says Nicole Solé, architect and general manager of Exxacon.
She adds that they are more infidels to stay for many years in a commune and seek mobility before buying a home forever. It is also a characteristic that is linked to the increase in mortgage loans and because families begin to increase over the years, due to the postponement of maternity, so that housing needs will also vary over time.
