NEW ORLEANS, LA – 365 Connect, a leading provider of award-winning marketing, leasing, and resident technology platforms for the multifamily housing industry, announced today that the company has made the SaaS Awards Program list for Best Customer Relationship Management SaaS Product. This prestigious international accolade recognizes 365 Connect’s capabilities to deliver innovative and creative solutions to meet the rapidly-changing needs of the multifamily housing industry.

This year, the Cloud Awards was augmented with the SaaS Awards recognition platform to more fully represent the breadth of cloud services available as software solutions. Specifically, the SaaS Awards recognizes excellence and innovation in the scope of cloud-based “solutions as a service” and honors SaaS solutions by celebrating the leading companies throughout the world.

“The SaaS Awards, unlike the long-running Cloud Awards, which takes a more holistic approach to celebrating excellence in cloud services, is a recognition platform specifically for software solutions. Frankly, it’s about time: in a maturing international marketplace for cloud services, SaaS has proven to be the poster boy for leveraging thin-client technologies, while ensuring end-users are always working at the cutting edge,” said SaaS Awards and Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson.  He continued, “After a lot of hard work, we are thrilled to be able to announce those that made the list – a collection of some of the brightest and best solutions in the SaaS space today.  It is exciting to see such a varied mix of the excellence and innovation that quite literally covers the globe.”

365 Connect was recognized by the SaaS Awards for its revolutionary Lead Management Platform it provides to the multifamily housing industry. The platform empowers a community’s leasing team with the tools to nurture, track, and manage lead flow. It allows a streamline conversion process by delivering action-driven lead funnels, integrated applications, and the backend tools to respond to every interaction in any format, from any device.

365 Connect Founder and CEO, Kerry W. Kirby, stated, “365 Connect is pleased to have its technology platform acknowledged on an international level, and we are truly honored to receive recognition alongside renowned names in the technology industry. The acclamation we received from the SaaS Awards emphasizes our mission to delivering leading-edge technology to enable our clients to optimize the leasing process, reduce marketing spend, and serve their residents after the lease is signed.”

To date, 365 Connect has received a total of 41 national and international awards, symbolizing the company’s dedication to delivering leading-edge technology. The 365 Connect Technology Platform is highly recognized by its peers for its unique ability to market communities across the Internet, automate social media, and deliver device-friendly platforms to prospects and residents to transact business. Today, 365 Connect’s innovative technology platforms are utilized across the nation, aiding multifamily housing operators by providing them with the ability to manage their marketing, leasing, and resident services from a single sign-on interface.

ATLANTA, GA – This signature high-rise residential tower will be located in the heart of the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. Gilbane Building Company, a leader in construction services and multi-unit construction, is serving as the construction manager for Wood Partners, a progressive multifamily investment firm in Atlanta.

The 27-tale luxury tower will offer 267 units of apartments and four tales of parking with podium-level parking deck and private garage options. The tower will offer a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. The high-end, upscale finishes feature European-style cabinets with granite counters, undermount stainless steel sinks, plank flooring, modern lighting fixtures throughout, and ceramic tile tub surround. Community amenities include an elevated outdoor terrace and pool deck and a residential club and Sky Lounge on the 27th floor with a covered terrace, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

“We are truly excited to have the opportunity to work with Wood Partners on such a high profile project,” said Jim Pritchett, Senior Project Executive Gilbane Building Company. “It is especially significant to Gilbane since when we completed the adjacent residential tower in 1999, the expectation was we would build the next tower shortly thereafter. Small did we know it would take 17 years to start construction.”

The project, designed by Reese Vanderbilt & Associates is anticipated to complete in May of 2018 and will be located adjacent to the Phipps Plaza. The structure is a post-tensioned frame and is neighbors with the Park Avenue and Park Regency Condominium projects Gilbane Building Company completed many years ago.
