We are always on the lookout for diverse, vibrant and energetic people to join us at UKO.
If you have hospitality, hotel and/or real estate experience and keen to work with a progressive future-focussed business, we want to meet you!
UKO is a leading Australian co-living and build-to-rent property management business. We empower inner-city renters to live a well balanced life through affordable, flexible and community-led living.
Currently Sydney based, we are expanding across to Perth with a goal to stretch into many more Australian cities in years to come.
Our custom-designed accommodation spaces offer renters an inner-city nest to not just call home but also connect and network. Residents of our apartments live in private studios or apartments with access to communal living where they can meet new friends and ultimately unwind in the company of others should they want to.
UKO is where real friendships are made, and many stories have begun and we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional experience, along with an exceptional workplace.
With more than 18 years of experience in the hospitality and shortterm accommodation industries, co-founders Alex Thorpe and Rhys Williams started UKO in 2018 with backing from the Accommodation Powerhouse Group. Our dynamic team consists of real estate professionals, designers, salespeople, operations experts, marketers and hospitality veterans.
