Clyde Stays (Nov 2021 - Jul 2023)
A modern property management firm that operated multiple long-term lease properties as short-to-midterm rentals in Sydney's inner city.
I co-founded Clyde Stays to bridge the gap between traditional long-term rentals and the booming demand for flexible, high-quality short-term accommodation. The goal was simple: optimize yield through superior management and design.
We managed a diverse portfolio of properties in strategic locations across Sydney, focusing on comfort, aesthetics, and seamless guest experiences.
The Portfolio
1. Ultimo: The Urban Hub
Located near UTS and the Powerhouse Museum, this property served visiting academics, students, and professionals. We optimized the interior for durability and style, ensuring high occupancy rates throughout the year.
2. Beaconsfield: The Inner-City Retreat
This property targeted families and longer-term business travelers. The focus here was on creating a "home away from home" experience with a fully equipped kitchen and generous living areas.
3. The Rocks: Historic Luxury
Heritage charm meets modern convenience.
A flagship property in one of Sydney's most iconic neighborhoods. We maintained the heritage character while introducing modern amenities, attracting tourists who wanted an authentic Sydney experience.
The Result
- High Occupancy: Maintained above-average occupancy rates through dynamic pricing strategies.
- Yield Optimization: Significantly increased rental yield compared to traditional long-term leases.
- Quality Standards: Established a reputation for cleanliness, communication, and premium guest support.
