Refurbishment
The outstanding lease performance of The Estates on San Antonio is partly thanks to the completion of the renovation project on schedule. In order to enhance the attractiveness of the apartment, the management and renovation company stepped up their efforts and completed the renovation works of the clubhouse and fitness room before Christmas. The new study space and game room are well received by the tenants.
Management Report
With the completion of the renovation project, the management immediately uploaded the updates and pictures to Instagram and Facebook, as well as the official website. As it is now the rental growth period, the publicity efforts will accelerate the project to reach the expected pre-lease rate and the target rent.
The management company not only introduced first-rate rental agencies but also held a series of promotional activities during the university student apartment fair, and received a lot of positive feedback. There has been a surge in the number of visitors to the apartment as a result.
