View company profile

What began with a simple yet insightful idea in 1998 has blossomed into one of the most prominent corporate housing companies in the world. The story of Furnished Quarters starts with two brothers, Steven and Gary Brown. With a family background steeped in the furniture business and their own ventures in real estate, they were uniquely positioned for their next endeavor. The spark came when Steve, reading the real estate section of The New York Times, noticed a column for furnished apartment rentals. This was the lightbulb moment. The brothers decided to combine their expertise and furnish one of their brownstone buildings in New York City, which contained ten apartments. They held an open house on a Sunday, and within a mere three hours, the entire building was rented out. This immediate success was a clear sign that they had tapped into a significant market need.

From those initial ten apartments, Furnished Quarters embarked on a journey of steady and strategic growth. The brothers leveraged their real estate connections to expand their portfolio, acquiring a variety of apartment sizes and types to cater to a growing clientele. Initially, their customer base consisted of individuals traveling to New York, and they were pioneers in utilizing online advertising, buying Google AdWords when it was still a novelty. A key differentiator from the outset was their commitment to quality and a genuine 'home away from home' experience. Unlike competitors who used standard rental furniture, Furnished Quarters purchased their own, curating a distinct New York feel for their apartments. This dedication to design and a personalized touch has remained a cornerstone of their brand. Over the years, the company has expanded its reach beyond New York City to key markets like Boston, New Jersey, and California, and eventually launched a Global Solutions division to serve clients worldwide. Now, with over 25 years of experience, Furnished Quarters stands as the largest independently owned and operated provider of global temporary housing, serving thousands of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, and continuing to innovate in technology and guest services.
