The Hidden ROI of Space: How Folding Workstations Drive Real Estate Value

For developers, universities, and hospitality operators, every square foot matters. Deskreet’s patented fold-away workstation doesn’t just save space—it generates measurable ROI. By integrating functional workstations into compact living or guest areas, properties elevate both their marketability and value.

Space as an Investment Multiplier

Traditional furniture consumes space. Deskreet converts it into value.

Each installed unit can increase per-unit rent premiums or resale value by positioning a property as “remote-work ready”. In student housing or corporate lodging, this directly translates to higher occupancy and retention rates.

How Deskreet Delivers Measurable ROI

Universities & Student Housing

  • Higher student satisfaction and recruitment rates.
  • Up to 8% reported rent premium at Core Spaces (University of Tennessee).

Multifamily Developers

  • Premium positioning in listings: “Work-from-home optimized.”
  • Higher lease rates in compact urban units.

Hotels & Hospitality

  • Enhanced guest experience for business travelers.
  • Added value for extended-stay and premium suites.

Quantifying the Opportunity

Deskreet’s internal analysis estimates a $90M annual market opportunity in the fold-away workstation category. 

With patented technology and a modular, pre-assembled design, Deskreet delivers one of the fastest installation-to-value timelines in commercial furnishings.
