As an owner, there’s a lot you can do to help your property stand out and be more appealing to renters. In our 25 years of construction consulting, these strategic considerations have helped our clients engage in successful tenant-friendly apartment construction projects.

Location, Location, Location

Choosing the right neighborhood for a multi-dwelling building is one way to make it more attractive to renters. Proximity to grocery stores, public transportation, entertainment, and amenities like grocery stores are great reasons to choose your building over a competitor’s.

Have the right Amount of Parking

Your tenants will want to have guests. Whether their vehicle is secured in a lot, a garage, or a structure, it’s important that there’s enough parking for every tenant/resident, and also enough extra spaces to allow your tenants to have friends and family visit. If your parking areas are well-lit and accessible, potential tenants will notice when they come for their first viewing.

Storage and Space

Even a smaller apartment can feel bigger if it has an open floor plan. Make sure your units have an appropriate quantity of cupboards to keep from getting cluttered, and light enough to make them feel spacious. Install windows that let in enough light to make your tenants happy, and they will be!

Be Move-In Ready

Have you done enough interior work to get each unit ready for tenants to move in? A desirable unit has modern, working appliances in the kitchen and washrooms, for example, while customized floors and curtains are something your tenants can do on their own to finish the space.
