A new way to build a home.
Safer. More human.

At Serestar, we have redesigned the cooperative model so that you can access your home without taking unnecessary risks. No uncertainty. With full transparency.

More control over costs

More transparency every step of the way

More peace of mind from the beginning

Serestar cooperatives

Fewer risks.

Fewer deviations.

Fewer complications.

At Serestar, we’ve reinvented the traditional cooperative model to offer you a safer, simpler path to your new home.

We believe that accessing housing shouldn’t be a process full of uncertainty.
That’s why we’ve created a formula that preserves the benefits of the cooperative model—cost price, participation, community—but with a professional and controlled approach.

Serestar Cooperatives – What Sets Us Apart?

Minimised Developer Risk

In traditional cooperatives, members assume all the risk.
At Serestar, that risk is minimised thanks to early involvement from our technical, financial and marketing teams, who anticipate and manage any potential deviations.

Project Defined from the Outset

Forget long discussions between members.
We work with a pre-defined product, carefully designed to optimise both time and costs.
You choose the layout that best suits your needs—without sacrificing quality or flexibility.

Guaranteed Exit Option

If your situation changes, you can leave the cooperative.
When another member takes your place, your contributions are returned.
Everything is designed to allow you to make decisions with freedom and peace of mind.

Closed Quality Specifications

From day one, we select high-quality, balanced and well-defined materials.
A closed specification avoids unnecessary deviations and ensures consistency throughout the project.

Participation Where It Matters

Even though the project is defined, any important decisions involving substantial changes are always discussed collectively.
You’ll have a voice and a vote when it truly matters—without being drawn into endless meetings.

Unsold Homes, Our Responsibility

If there are any unsold homes, it’s the developer—not the cooperative members—who assumes the responsibility.
This protects the project’s viability and your financial peace of mind.

Transparency Every Step of the Way

As a member, you’ll have access to all information from day one:
an intranet with documents and updates, and regular assemblies to keep you informed.
Because trust is easier when everything is clear.

How Does It Work?

1

Learn About and Choose the Development

The first step is deciding where you want to build your new home. Once you’ve chosen a location, research the development and the experience of the managing team.
At Serestar, we’re always available to answer your questions and help you make the best decision.

2

Pre-registration for the Development

If the development suits your needs, you can pre-register with no obligation.
This is the first sign of interest in becoming part of the project alongside other future members.

3

Joining the Cooperative

Once your registration is formalised, the cooperative is established and you officially become a member.
From this point, you’ll receive regular updates on the project and the cooperative’s progress.

4

Involvement in the Project

As a cooperative member, you gain access to in-depth information about the project and the construction process.
Being involved is one of the great strengths of this model.

5

Participation in Decisions

If any substantial changes arise, they’ll be discussed collectively among members to reach a consensus.

6

Allocation and Handover of Homes

At the end of construction, homes are allocated and keys are handed over.
By then, you won’t just have bought a house—you’ll have contributed to building your own home within a community that chose to do things differently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Housing Cooperative?

It’s a collaborative way of accessing housing at cost price, with no intermediaries or profit motives.
Individuals come together to launch a project and become owners of their homes.

At Serestar, we’ve taken this model and professionalised it—so you can enjoy all its benefits without the usual risks.

Why Choose a Cooperative Instead of a Traditional Development?

Because you’re not just buying a home—you’re actively involved in its development and you access it at a fairer price.
Cooperatives offer more control, transparency and flexibility.
And with Serestar, they also offer security, cost stability and expert guidance.

How Does Serestar Improve the Cooperative Model?

At Serestar, we’ve redesigned the model to make it more efficient and secure:

  • We cap budget deviations at 5% maximum.

  • We take responsibility for any unsold homes.

  • We offer a pre-defined product with agile decision-making.

  • We maintain full transparency through an intranet and regular assemblies.

  • And if you decide to withdraw, you can recover your investment.

What Does It Mean to Be a Member of a Serestar Cooperative?

It means being part of a shared project, with a voice in key decisions and professional support at every step.
You are not alone. We manage the process, you make the decisions—freely and with confidence.

What Happens If the Project Has Cost Overruns?

In our model, you only assume a maximum deviation of 5%.
Any excess is covered by SerEstar. This allows you to know from the start how much you will pay and ensures a defined cost margin.

Can I Leave the Cooperative if My Situation Changes?

Yes. When another cooperative member takes your place, you recover your contributions.
This is planned and managed with transparency to offer you true flexibility.

What professionals are involved in the project?

We work with architects, engineers, legal advisors, and specialized project managers.
The Serestar team gets involved from the initial phase to ensure the project’s success,
so you don’t have to handle the complex parts.

How are decisions made within the cooperative?

There are two main governing bodies:

  • The General Assembly, where all members vote.

  • The Governing Board, made up of members elected to manage day-to-day operations.

In smaller cooperatives, it’s also possible to have a single administrator.
At Serestar, we also streamline the process to make it clear and agile.
