Business and Investment Strategy Our mission is to elevate the value living experience and create a place our residents are proud to call home by continuously focusing on service, efficiency, and innovation.
We are focused on creating shareholder value by providing quality, affordably priced housing to a deep, solid, and growing base of mid-market demand.
Our research indicates that affordability is a pressing rental issue at multiple price points across the mid-market rent spectrum.
We believe that rents can be consistently grown if a portfolio s price point does not compete directly with new product price points and wages for mid-market renters are growing.
Furthermore, as the cost of homeownership continues to rise above affordable levels for median income earners, we expect to benefit from sustained demand for quality, affordably priced rental housing.
Our research-focused approach enables us to craft optimal strategies to provide the best combination of value, quality, and resident experience in our apartment communities.
We categorize our apartment communities among broader asset classes, as determined by a variety of factors, including the age of our buildings, rent growth drivers and rent relative to the market: Class A Class A communities are recently developed and command rental rates above market median rents.
Class A- communities have been developed within the past twenty years and feature operational improvements and unit upgrades and command rents at or above median market rents.
