Real estate’s next decade will not be about square meters.
It will be about networks.
When we started Denizen, our goal was simple: to create better places for people to meet, work, and belong.
Over time, that mission evolved. We realised that the future of real estate is not about owning more buildings but about connecting the ones that already exist.
That insight became the foundation for ATworld, a project started by Aroundtown SA, which the Denizen team has been helping to build from day one.
Together, we are creating an infrastructure that connects hotels, cafés, flex offices, and wellness spaces across Europe, giving people and companies one digital identity to access hundreds of locations seamlessly.
Connection outperforms construction.
Networks scale faster than buildings ever will.
And value no longer sits only in the assets, but in how they are used.
In the first six months, more than 300 spaces have been connected, with a growing membership base across Germany and beyond.
It shows how quickly real estate can evolve when owners, operators, and users align around a shared goal: activation over vacancy, experience over excess.
Every day, people use ATworld to make their cities work for them.
Work from a coworking space in the morning, take a meeting in a hotel lounge, train at a nearby gym, or catch up over coffee at one of our partner cafés.
Your city becomes your office, flexible, local, and human.
The biggest learning from building Denizen, and now ATworld within Aroundtown, is that innovation in real estate does not start with technology.
It starts with mindset, partnership, and a willingness to rethink how space creates value.
> For hotel, flex office, café and gym operators, this is an opportunity to activate and adapt your spaces to capture new use cases and demand.
> For corporate members, to help teams work smarter, meet flexibly, and adapt faster, in hundreds of ATworld locations across Germany and beyond.
> For individual users, we invite you to experience a new rhythm of work and life.
> And for real estate funds, to join the journey started by Aroundtown as they redefine what activation means at scale.
Six months in, we are proud of how far this idea has come and even more excited about where it is heading.
Connection is only the first layer, but it is already reshaping how people experience space. Join us.
