Spacious千居 operates as a digital platform specializing in residential real estate, facilitating connections between property seekers and available residential and commercial listings throughout Asia. The company was founded in 2013 by Asif Ghafoor, who previously held roles as a development manager at Goldman Sachs and senior IT director at Standard Chartered Bank. Spacious has also been part of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation's incubator initiative. Its main office is located in Hong Kong.
Founding
Asif Ghafoor initiated Spacious, which by 2015 offered a variety of listings including rental units, service apartments, and properties for sale within Hong Kong. The platform also incorporated innovative features such as a database of reportedly haunted residences and an affordability tool that enables users to filter apartment options based on their monthly earnings.
Investment
In early 2014, Spacious raised $500,000 in seed capital, followed by an additional $3 million funding round in June 2015 aimed at broadening its property marketplace presence across the Asian region. These investments facilitated the company’s advancement in digital real estate marketing and enhanced its expansion into regional markets.
