Apartment Owners Association of California
From helipads to breweries to concierge services that can just about read a resident’s mind, amenities have been a hot topic in the apartment industry for years, and the bar just keeps getting higher. For apartment owners and operators who have neither the capital nor even the demand for these over-the-top features, there are plenty of ways to increase their communities’ appeal through amenities, many of which are simple to implement and require little up-front investment.
 
Supplier Updates
A more robust and comprehensive supplier directory has replaced the old PSC Buyers Guide, which in many cases only included one company under a specific category.
 
A workshop on Sales EQ, a brief PSC business meeting, and a session on Understanding Yourself and Others through DISCflex Assessments are planned for Monday, May 8, 1-5 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs.
