IRVINE, CA— Many multifamily properties are going beyond just providing an area for bike storage and are now offering bike-repair rooms and equipment for resident use, evidence of their owners and managers taking amenities to the next level, Western National Group's regional VP Donna Gill tells GlobeSt.com.
While the multifamily outlook remains strong, property owners are finding that they must constantly implement new amenities to stay competitive in the current multifamily landscape. For example, some property managers are taking the concept of on-site gyms a step further and are now offering fitness on-demand, bringing portable suspension equipment directly to their residents.
Since Western National is a regional property-management firm that manages 162 apartment communities totaling more than 23,600 units, we spoke with Gill to get her insights about the latest multifamily amenities that owners are offering to deepen the resident experience.
