5 Most Wanted Multifamily Amenities
Abstract
"Rents are skyrocketing and operators are looking for services to justify higher rents," said Everett Lynn, founder & CEO of Amenify, a tech platform that provides services like car washing and mobile pet grooming for multifamily renters. Pet care Pet ownership shot up during the pandemic, which has led to big demand for pet services in apartment communities. With more workers going back to the office, there has also been more demand for dog walking and pet sitting services. Some luxury buildings now have in-house daycare for dogs, training services and even heated dog runs for colder months. "We think about how you can make it a nice place where you can wait and hang out while your dog plays, and talk to someone else." Mobile services Anything an operator can do that goes above and beyond the typical building amenities can be a huge selling point for renters. The most in-demand services his company provides through its platform right now are mobile car wash services that even offer an eco-friendly waterless option, and mobile pet grooming services. Not only are amenities geared toward health and wellness popular with renters, they are also proven to command higher rents, according to a recent study.
