Multifamily Minute

The Data Derived from our Managed Portfolio

As one of the largest third-party property management companies across the US, we have unique insights into what residents think of their apartments, why they are staying, why they may leave, and how those trends are evolving. On this episode, Kevin Charcut, a Cushman & Wakefield Executive Managing Director for Multifamily Asset Services, interviews Sam Tenenbaum, Head of Multifamily Insights about key findings gained from data gathered across our managed portfolio. They discuss renewals, concessions, rents, and the 'why' driving these data points.

East vs West Management Trends

Erinn Cassidy and Greg Mark discuss how apartment property management is different in the west and eastern regions they respectively oversee. While both agree that their teams are best in class, they talk about the differences in population, building, and amenity trends in their regions and the regulatory and financial differences they both encounter. Sam Tenenbaum also asks about how they see the market changing and how the role of property managers continues to evolve.
