Notably, company’s innovative “Urban Village” (UV) residential enrichment initiative is setting a new standard in multifamily housing. The program provides a variety of tenant lifestyle services to properties nationwide that promote resident health, social interaction, education and sustainability—all to enhance home life overall. The result is a greater sense of community spirit, togetherness and overall well-being. This comprehensive approach to resident relations not only yields better outcomes for property owners and investors, but also brings positive impacts the environment.
Among other mandates, the UV program aims to enhance community connections, alleviate stress and foster environmentalism through a variety of innovative activities and resources. This includes enhanced residential wellness programs like fitness classes and health screenings as well as sustainable living initiatives that include community gardens producing fresh produce for residents and recycling programs reducing waste.
