The Preferred Corporate Housing Model

At Preferred Corporate Housing, we use a unique business model called Matched Leasing. In fact, PCH pioneered the Matched Leasing model more than 20 years ago to give clients more control over where and how their temporary housing is placed.

Instead of limiting clients to pre-existing vacant inventory, our team identifies housing options based on the location, timing, budget, and needs of the request. You tell us where you need to be, and we work to present furnished housing options that can be set up specifically for your stay.

Many corporate housing providers depend on existing units they already have under lease. That can limit availability, location choice, and flexibility. The matched leasing model is different because it allows PCH to build the housing solution around the client request instead of trying to fit the client into leftover inventory.

Creating custom corporate apartments offers several advantages over reused apartments or hotel-style inventory. These benefits include more options, greater flexibility, increased availability, and tailored housing solutions in the areas where clients actually need to live.

This approach helps PCH serve business travelers, relocating employees, project teams, insurance guests, healthcare professionals, and temporary assignment workers who need more than a standard hotel room or a one-size-fits-all housing option.

One major advantage of matched leasing is the ability to offer more housing choices. Hotels and inventory-based providers are often limited to the rooms or apartments they already have available. PCH can look beyond preset inventory and source options based on the actual request.

This allows our team to consider different amenities, layouts, neighborhoods, commute needs, school proximity, pet requirements, and furnishing preferences when matching a client with the right temporary housing solution.

Corporate housing often needs to adjust around real-world schedules. Project dates change. Relocation timelines shift. Insurance claims take longer than expected. Temporary assignments may be extended or shortened.

The matched leasing model gives PCH the ability to support more flexible housing arrangements than many traditional hotel or inventory-based options. This helps clients find housing that works with their timeline instead of forcing the timeline to fit the housing.

Because PCH is not limited to only a fixed set of apartments, the matched leasing model helps create broader nationwide availability. This is especially valuable when clients need housing in secondary markets, project-driven locations, or areas where traditional temporary housing inventory may be limited.

PCH supports furnished housing solutions in more than 75,000 cities nationwide, giving clients access to a much wider range of potential locations than a standard inventory-only model can typically provide.

Location is one of the biggest reasons matched leasing matters. Clients may need to be near a job site, corporate office, hospital, school, family support system, or specific neighborhood. A standard hotel or available unit may not support those needs.

With matched leasing, PCH can search for housing options based on where the client wants or needs to live. This creates a more practical, comfortable, and personalized housing experience.

The Preferred Corporate Housing model is designed to give clients more control, more flexibility, and more location-specific housing options. By creating furnished apartments on demand, PCH can deliver a stronger alternative to hotels, extended-stay rooms, and inventory-limited corporate housing providers.

For companies and individuals who need temporary housing that fits the assignment, not the other way around, matched leasing provides a smarter and more flexible solution.
