Flexible living pioneer Sentral and OliverBuchananGroup (OPG) have formed a partnership to develop new mixed-use, multifamily projects that deploy Sentral's business model for short-term rentals in high-growth US markets.

The partners will initially target projects in Denver, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Austin and Nashville, with Sentral serving as the exclusive property management platform for residential properties, the companies said in a release.

Sentral has pioneered several urban residential communities that offer nightly as well as monthly short-term "flexible living" rentals in design-driven and amenity-packed communities. Launched last year with $500M in backing from ICONIQ Capital, the company's website says its rentals are tailored to "a new generation of consumers who want home plus work or home plus travel."
