Corporate Housing for Consultants

Consulting projects in the Midwest don’t come with a predictable address. Whether you’re implementing a Salesforce platform in Indianapolis, auditing supply chain operations in Cincinnati, or deploying a new EHR system across a Cleveland health network, you need housing that matches the pace and length of the engagement — not a hotel designed for three-night stays.

Home Street Furnished Apartments provides fully furnished housing for consultants working across Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Milwaukee. Our apartments are move-in ready, fully equipped, and available on flexible month-to-month terms that align with how consulting projects actually work.

Why Consultants Choose Furnished Apartments Over Hotels

Hotels are built for transient guests. A 90-day consulting engagement is not transient — it’s a worksite assignment that demands a functional home base. The differences add up quickly:

• Space to work: Our furnished apartments average over 750 square feet, compared to 287 square feet in a standard hotel room. A dedicated desk, reliable Wi-Fi, and a separate living area mean you can close your laptop, decompress, and come back sharper the next morning.
• Kitchen access: A fully equipped kitchen eliminates the $50–80/day in restaurant meals that quietly erode per diem. Over a 90-day project, that’s $4,500–7,200 in food spend — largely avoidable in a furnished apartment.
• Cost control: For stays of 30 days or more, HSSA’s all-inclusive monthly rate consistently undercuts full-service business hotel costs — particularly in our higher-cost markets. A consultant in Pittsburgh at the market hotel rate of $194/night accumulates roughly $17,460 in lodging costs over 90 days, before a single restaurant meal or parking charge. HSSA’s furnished apartments are priced between $3,000 and $5,000 per month depending on unit size and market, putting a 90-day all-inclusive stay at $9,000–$15,000.
• Per diem compliance: GSA lodging rates in our markets range from $131–$163/night. In cities like Pittsburgh ($138 GSA vs. $194 market average) and Cincinnati ($163 GSA vs. $212 market average), standard hotels routinely exceed government rate ceilings. Furnished apartments typically come in under the GSA limit, making per diem compliance straightforward.

Consulting Demand Across Our Markets

Each of our seven featured markets has a distinct consulting demand profile. Understanding where the work is concentrated helps you plan housing that’s commute-efficient from day one:

• Columbus, OH: The Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in New Albany is generating years of supply chain, engineering, and operational consulting work. Pair that with OSU Wexner Medical Center’s healthcare IT footprint, state government ERP projects, and a rapidly expanding data center corridor, and Central Ohio is a sustained consulting market well into the decade.
• Cincinnati, OH: Procter & Gamble’s global headquarters draws a continuous stream of brand, supply chain, and IT consultants. GE Aerospace in Evendale, Kroger’s technology programs, Fifth Third Bancorp, and the CVG air cargo hub round out a deep enterprise client base. Cincinnati’s market hotel rate of $212/night — well above the $163 GSA ceiling — makes a furnished apartment a straightforward budget decision.
• Cleveland, OH: Cleveland Clinic — one of the largest non-governmental employers in the country with 92,000 employees — anchors healthcare IT and clinical consulting demand. Sherwin-Williams’ $860 million headquarters transition, KeyBank’s 10% commercial banking expansion in 2025, and MetroHealth’s $1.1 billion campus redevelopment add to an active consulting calendar.
• Indianapolis, IN: Eli Lilly’s $27 billion U.S. manufacturing buildout is generating regulatory, quality assurance, and project consulting work that will extend through the decade. The IU Health $4 billion downtown hospital campus, Salesforce’s regional operations, Cummins’ global engineering programs, and a dense defense contracting community make Indy one of the most diverse consulting markets in the Midwest.
• Pittsburgh, PA: Carnegie Mellon’s AI and robotics ecosystem — including Skild AI, Aurora autonomous vehicles, and CMU’s Robotics Innovation Center — has established Pittsburgh as a specialist consulting hub for artificial intelligence, automation, and defense technology. UPMC’s 92,000-employee health system is one of the largest healthcare IT environments in the country, and the region holds over $30 billion in active defense contracts.
• Louisville, KY: Humana’s headquarters drives a steady flow of healthcare actuarial and IT consultants. UPS Worldport’s 24,000-employee logistics operation attracts operations and supply chain consulting. GE Appliances’ reshoring program, Foxconn’s new Jefferson County manufacturing plant, and growing downtown investment add manufacturing, operational, and financial consulting demand.
• Milwaukee, WI: Northwestern Mutual’s $500 million campus expansion and Fiserv’s fintech headquarters make Milwaukee a concentrated financial services consulting market. Rockwell Automation and Johnson Controls anchor industrial engineering and building systems consulting. Microsoft’s $3.3 billion data center investment in Mount Pleasant is drawing technology project teams to the metro.

Flexible Terms That Match Project Timelines

Consulting projects don’t end on the 30th of the month, and neither do our leases. Our agreements start on any date and extend as long as your project requires — with the flexibility to adjust if your engagement extends or closes early. We work with companies booking housing for multiple consultants, and with individual consultants managing their own accommodations directly.
