The QUi Collective Journey

QUi Collective was born from a simple observation: traveling professionals deserve better. I noticed a persistent gap in the housing market in this area.

Temporary accommodations often forced professionals to choose between sterile corporate housing that lacked personality or unpredictable vacation rentals that weren't designed for productive extended stays. I asked myself, what if there was a third option? Housing that combined the reliability of corporate accommodations with the warmth and thoughtfulness of a well-designed home?

Starting with a single property in Cohoes, I set out to create spaces where traveling professionals could truly feel at home - where every detail was considered, every promise kept, and every interaction reflected my commitment to excellence.

Today, QUi Collective represents a growing portfolio of thoughtfully curated properties across upstate New York, each one designed with the specific needs of traveling professionals in mind. But more than the properties, I’m proud of the reputation I’ve built: for transparency, responsiveness, and attention to detail that makes even a temporary stay feel permanent.
