SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Multifamily Leadership, producers of the two highest-level events in the industry, the Multifamily Leadership Innovation Summit and Multifamily Women’s Summit, announced today a new, industry-first streaming platform for subscribers to gain previously untapped access to original content and shows across the topics of innovation, technology, and leadership. 

The platform, MultifamilyStudios.com, will feature live event recordings, product launches, and real tales from some of the most innovative minds in our industry. Showcasing original content across an array of emerging topics, subscribers will have access to inspiring and authentic tales from key innovators that cannot be found elsewhere. The platform is designed to help career-minded professionals, executives, managers, and forward-looking leaders gain access to thought leadership lectures and materials from anywhere and on any device. 

“The conference model has not changed over the last 50 years,” clarified Patrick Antrim, CEO of Multifamily Leadership. “But, it desperately needs to since it is impossible for busy choice-makers to attend every association meeting, product demo, trade show, and industry conference. In fact, many vendors continue to participate in these events, despite experiencing poor results, rising costs, and favoritism over exhibit space positioning. Just as Netflix challenged an industry that did not innovate quick enough to survive, we plot to change the game within the multifamily housing sphere, making these resources affordable and accessible to all.” 

Leveraging content from a variety of sources, MultifamilyStudios.com will feature individual channels that will showcase a number of topics, such as recruiting, employee retention, and general behind-the-scenes insights into the methods leading property management companies utilize. There will even be exclusive content included from MFL’s annual summits: The Multifamily Leadership Innovation Summit and the Multifamily Women’s Summit. The streaming platform places subscribers in the room with keynote speakers, panels, and sessions that typically run concurrent at traditional conferences, allowing attendees of these virtual resources to have access to all of the material they desire, as opposed to making a forced choice between panels and missing information vital to their operations. 

Antrim added, “Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and industry innovators just can’t wait for the next conference that will introduce a cutting-edge, new product. But, with more businesses refraining from attending traditional conferences, this new streaming service is a groundbreaking product for many multifamily leaders—simply because there is no other platform on the market designed to reach choice-makers so seamlessly. In addition to providing high quality content that is frequently updated, we are also introducing a new way for brands to launch products in the multifamily marketplace. This platform will allow innovation to flow, unrestricted from high sponsorship fees and competition with huge budget incumbents. It’s time we bring different innovators of the industry together in a more meaningful and honest partnership.” 

MultifamilyStudios.com streaming binge worthy content is now available for subscription. 

MultifamilyStudios.com is an industry-first streaming platform, exclusively serving the multifamily housing marketplace. The platform allows subscribers to consume a wide variety content, from exclusive interviews and conference sessions to product launches. Designed to accelerate thought leadership throughout the industry, the streaming platform opens the doors to authentic tales from key innovators that cannot be found elsewhere, while replacing the current and ineffective conference model.

CHARLESTON, SC – A new community opening this summer in Charleston is committed to enhancing life on the peninsula, showing its residents a lifestyle approach well beyond four walls and unlike anything else that can be found in the city. Set to open July 1, 511 Meeting Street is a 1.26-acre, multi-family development with 221 homes, on-site parking and the most common space of any apartment community on the peninsula. 

The project is a joint venture among Origin Investments, Spandrel Development Partners, Aspen Heights and equity partner Northwestern Mutual. CF Real Estate Services (CF) has been selected as the property manager.

“Discerning residents are demanding a choice of elite amenities, whether walking their dog, entertaining a client, or enjoying worry-free relaxation in an unequaled atmosphere,” said Sharon Hatfield, COO of CF. “Bringing that standard to life starts with spaces that are designed and built with the resident top of mind. We are pleased to be a part of the success that started with our strategic partners in this initiative.”

Utilizing technology and services that offer a seamless experience for residents, 511 Meeting Street shows how a thoughtful approach to residential design allows for an independent, yet connected, lifestyle. Featuring the largest amount of “uncommon” common space available to apartment dwellers in Charleston, 511 Meeting Street offers more than 9,000 square feet where residents can work privately, engage with one another socially or professionally, focus on their wellness through a custom-designed fitness menu, delight in community gatherings and more. Custom playlists and even a signature scent help make the atmosphere that will be unique to 511 Meeting Street.

“It’s the connection to the resident that will really set us apart,” Dan Boyle, senior property manager for 511 Meeting Street, said. “A diverse and engaged team here on staff will each bring their own perspective to the community and will be in charge of plotting events that celebrate that individuality.”

Pre-leasing activities for the community have already generated significant interest from a broad range of residents in the area. The 221 homes in the community’s 127,000 leasable square feet range from 439 square feet studios to two-bed, two-baths offering 1,168 square feet. The community is built around what was originally a Charleston grocery store and, to embrace that heritage, elements of that building remain and will house two studio apartments and select retail.

Amenities at 511 Meeting Street show an impressive level of thought and attention to detail. The fitness center and yoga studio not only offers premier Precor equipment, but also a cadre of fitness classes that rotate monthly. Getting outside, residents will delight in their own dedicated weekly running club that will also interact with other running clubs around the city. For four-legged residents, 511 Meeting Street will offer an on-site “Paw Spa,” enabling (human) residents to easily groom their best furry friend at the dedicated wash station. Other on-site services allow guests to store and service their own bikes, or share one to ride around and delight in Charleston’s sights.

Communal space for work and play is part of the ethos of 511 Meeting Street. A club room on the second floor features dark wood elements that give the space a distinctively mid-century modern vibe (“Mad Men” fans will rejoice) in a space that also opens to the outside pool deck via cascading doors and windows. A double-sided fireplace and a prep kitchen and bar will help to make an inviting space residents will want to delight in daily. A community café and lounge on the ground floor will serve as a communal workspace with complementing private conference rooms that can flex to meet the needs of a variety of groups, while al fresco dining spaces on two different floors offer yet another way to delight in the Charleston weather together with friends.

Amenities expected by today’s connected professional are an integral part of 511 Meeting Street. Residents will have 24-hour access to services and offerings via the 511 Meeting Street custom app, which helps staff provide an extra level of convenience and service for residents. Notifications for packages received in the package locker system, community news and announcements, and a way to request maintenance or get answers to other questions are there.

“There will be so many places to hang out here and things to do that are beyond the walls of your apartment home,” Boyle said. “At 511 Meeting Street, residents will find a culture and a meaningful way to get to know their neighbors. This whole area is coming to life.”
