There is a new thing happening, a new trend if you will, in apartment buildings. Builders of new rental buildings are now having websites created just for the building. These new websites are used as a marketing tool and management tool.Marketing to promote these new buildings and increase the occupancy rate.
Once the building has tenants they direct these tenets to the website to ask for service repairs and pay monthly rent online.Some building also entice renters to buy an apartment in other buildings the developers own.
They advertise these apartments by showing layouts, pictures, amenities and today’s mortgage rates. Renters can see how much an apartment would cost and calculate the monthly cost with current mortgage rates, apartment prices and association fees. Combined with a mortgage calculator you can see if buying is better than renting.
The new buildings and their websites also have social benefits, scheduling parties and ‘get togethers’. In fact some new buildings are built for a specific set of people like young urban professionals. Some buildings are also designed for singles and there are weekly mixer parties.
Apartment building social networking may be one of the most interesting developments these days. The New York Times wrote an article on this concept, you can read about it here: The Social Building.
