GMP Breaks into ‘Flex Living’ with Truliving: A New Brand to Redefine Flexible Accommodation in Madrid

The market for Flexible Accommodation In Spain, and particularly in Madrid, its expansion and sophistication phase continues with the arrival of new major operators. The SOCIMI Good manufacturing practice, known for its leadership in the office segment, has taken a decisive strategic step by launching its own ‘Flex Living’ brand: Truliving.

This new brand is the materialisation of GMP's commitment to a sector that is demonstrating enormous resilience and exponential growth potential. Truliving is born with the aim of offering medium-stay accommodation solutions that combine design, comfort, services, and a strong community component, adapting to the needs of professionals, students, and anyone seeking a flexible, high-quality housing solution.

The first asset to operate under the Truliving brand is the complex 147 apartments located in the Ensanche de Vallecas, Madrid, which GMP acquired last May. This building, already operational, will serve as the vanguard for the new brand and as a laboratory for refining its value proposition.

But GMP's ambition with Truliving goes far beyond a single asset. The SOCIMI plans significant expansion, both through Acquisition of new properties how by means of the Development of own projects in their land bank. In this regard, strategic locations are already being considered such as Sanchinarro and Valdebebas for future developments of Flexible Accommodation.

The launch of Truliving is a clear indicator of several key trends in the market:

  • Diversification of stakeholders: Large SOCIMIs (real estate investment trusts) traditionally focused on other segments are strongly entering ‘Flex Living’, recognising its appeal as an investment.
  • Madrid Consolidation The capital asserts itself as the main market for the Flexible Accommodation In Spain, with a growing demand that continues to attract capital.
  • Professionalisation of the sector The creation of own brands and direct management by large operators contribute to raising quality standards and consolidating an increasingly professionalised sector.

With Truliving, GMP not only diversifies its business portfolio but also positions itself to lead the transformation of Flexible Accommodation in Madrid, offering a product that promises to live up to the expectations of an increasingly demanding market.


The next edition Vitur Summit 2026 will take place in Malaga on Thursdays 13 and 14 May and will once again be the meeting point for operators, investors and companies in the sector to boost their business, establish strategic alliances with the different agents involved and gain access to all the latest news, trends and opportunities in the sector from leading speakers and companies.
