When designing your apartment building, your target renter’s arrival experience is crucial in driving higher rents.

Which of these two buildings do you think is attaining more rent?:

 

The Four Factors that Drive Rent are:

 

  1. Location

  2. Unit Design & Size

  3. Amenities

  4. Property Management

Why Rent Matters:

Amenities Drive the Rent:

 

  • They aren’t just an optional extra

  • They aren’t a waste of rentable space

  • They are a rent driver and a market maker

  • Need to understand that amenities like your unit finishes, features, and lobby help sell your building time and time again
