CORT Business Services, the Berkshire Hathaway-owned furniture rental and transition services provider, has signed an agreement to acquire Dwellworks Living, the temporary housing division of Dwellworks that will see leadership changes at both companies.
The acquisition, which is expected to close on July 31, 2026, pairs Dwellworks Living’s temporary housing expertise with CORT’s scale and existing footprint in mobility services, spanning a global network of more than 90 countries. Dwellworks Living’s service model, client relationships, supplier partnerships, and technology platform are expected to remain in place following the close.
James Conigliaro, currently CEO of Dwellworks, will move into a vice president role at CORT, overseeing Dwellworks Living by CORT. Bob Rosing will return as CEO of Dwellworks, which will exit the temporary living business to focus on destination services and other relocation support offerings while maintaining a strategic partnership with the newly combined entity.
“This acquisition underscores our confidence in the strong business Dwellworks Living has built and its continued growth potential,” said Mike Davis, CEO and president of CORT Business Services. “Dwellworks Living is known for service excellence, strong supplier partner network, trusted client relationships, and deep industry expertise.” Conigliaro called the deal “an exciting next chapter for both organizations,” while Rosing framed it as an opportunity for Dwellworks to sharpen its focus on destination services.
IAM Member Impact: IAM members with corporate housing or destination services partnerships tied to Dwellworks should monitor continuity in existing agreements through the transition. CORT has signaled the current service model and supplier network will stay intact.
