Build it in Bogota: seven rooms by Parque El Virrey

Build it in Bogota is a coliving in a large apartment beside Parque El Virrey, in one of the safest and most walkable parts of Chapinero. It has seven private en-suite bedrooms, a coworking area, a rooftop with a barbecue and a full kitchen, and it is aimed squarely at entrepreneurs and remote workers on multi-month stays.

What Build it in Bogota Does

• Seven private en-suite rooms. Standard and premium tiers in a 6,200 square foot apartment, with no shared bathrooms.
• Dual 900 Mbps fibre with ethernet. Two connections rather than one, plus a private desk in every bedroom.
• All-inclusive monthly pricing. Utilities, internet and cleaning included, from around 1,055 US dollars for a standard room.
• Flexible one to twelve month stays. No long-term contract, which is the main barrier to living in Bogota otherwise.
• Weekly social programming. Kitchen nights and rooftop gatherings, with a resident mix of nomads, founders and expats.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

Bogota is underrated by nomads who go to Medellin by default. It is the capital, so the business and startup scene is real rather than a satellite, the food is better than its reputation, and El Virrey and the surrounding Zona G are as walkable and safe as anywhere in the country.

The internet specification is the standout. Dual 900 Mbps with wired ethernet and a desk in each room is a better working setup than most European colivings, and it matters in a city where connections vary block by block.

Two honest caveats. Bogota sits at 2,600 metres, so the first week involves altitude adjustment, and the climate is cool and grey rather than tropical. Around 1,055 dollars is also well above local rents, so you are paying for the setup and the community.

Pricing

Standard private rooms from around 1,055 US dollars a month all inclusive, premium suites from around 1,190. Stays from one to twelve months.

The strongest work setup in Colombia, in the city most nomads skip.
