Project Update: We recently completed the last building at Sunset Village! This 238-unit multifamily development was delivered on time, which was reason for everyone to celebrate with a fun party catered by MISSION BBQ.    We faced our fair share of challenges to bring this apartment community to Camden, DE. But, through great partnerships with GGA Construction, AP Croll, Bryan & Sons, LLC, Chester River, Bausum & Duckett Electric, LLC, and Envirotech, we completed the construction of this project that is already living up to our high standards!

The JLAM Difference: Another way we achieve a higher standard in real estate investing...      Strong property management can amplify investment performance. And when it's running in lockstep with the asset management team, that’s when the magic happens. Sherri Garyantes, our multifamily group manager, shares her strategies for effective property oversight:   👩💻Leverage technology to maximize efficiency. We use software like AppFolio to make leasing, rent payments, and other property management tasks more convenient for our managers and residents.   💬Communicate regularly. Our team utilizes automated messaging systems to update the community about key activities and property improvements that will enhance resident satisfaction.   📒Budget carefully and accurately. Together with our asset management team, we create detailed operating budgets and maintain a comprehensive reporting methodology. This enables us to make informed decisions when it comes to continued investment in our communities.     These factors contribute to delivering a higher standard in the living experience for our residents—one that is reflected in our apartment communities maintaining occupancy levels over 98%!       More residents 👨👩👧 ➡️ stronger financial performance 💸 ➡️ happy investors 😀!

The Oaks at Georgetown, a 138-unit multifamily development, is a prime example of our investment strategy at work.      Our deep understanding of our target markets revealed a big opportunity: the Georgetown, DE area had not seen any attractive new rental housing construction for over 20 years. At the same time, housing prices continued to soar. This insight guided our decision to address a clear and unmet demand for quality rental options in the area.     The project design reflects our organizational philosophy of creating and investing in places where people want to be, and our development and operating experience enabled the execution of a high-quality project that is consistently over 98% occupied.     Check out the full case study to see how we delivered for a family office investment partner—and how our experience in multifamily can generate favorable outcomes for you. https://lnkd.in/eMP63uJx #realestateinvestment #realestatedevelopment  #ahigherstandardinrealestateinvesting  

There’s no place like home, and a lot of people now want to live in Sussex County, DE. The region’s population increase has caused home prices to skyrocket and created surging demand in the rental market.      Windward Grove—our newest rental townhome community in Milford, DE—helps meet the area’s growing housing needs.

Finding the perfect location is key to successful real estate investing—and it’s even better when you find markets without heavy capital competition. Our goal is to create places where people want to be, in areas that often don’t get the attention they deserve—places other investors overlook. We’ve done this extensively with our multifamily properties that we developed in areas where jobs are growing and existing supply doesn’t match the lifestyle demands of the community.

Meghan Kern, our admin and operations manager, and Zachary Rhoad, P.E., PMP, our director of project management, led our recent lunch-and-learn to unveil a new tool in our development process, designed to improve the way we manage bonds across our projects.     🚩 Our bonding process required multiple touchpoints and was quite complicated, given the large inventory of bonds across our projects. Managing new requirements, expiration dates, reduction requests, and coordination with our sureties and regulatory agencies was cumbersome and time-consuming. Meg and Zach knew there was a better way, and took the initiative to create it.    🗺️They started with Visio, mapping out all the steps with a cross-functional flow chart to show how every element should work together.      🧔 Once they were satisfied, they sourced and engaged a consultant to build JLAM a proprietary solution utilizing a database management system & automation to initiate, manage, and report on all bond requirements across our portfolio.     🏃With the new process up and running, we have already realized significant operational efficiency and enhanced financial controls. This translates to saved time for our team and ultimately contributes to driving better returns for our partners.  Visit our website to learn other ways we set a higher standard in real estate investing: www.jlamre.com #realestateinvesting #realestatedevelopment #ahigherstandardinrealestateinvesting

Housing shortages are a hot topic nationwide, and they’re always on our minds here at JLAM. Our home state of Delaware needs approximately 20,000 homes, while the U.S. lacks over 6 million. Builders and developers are responding, but supply isn’t always being created in locations where demand is. Enter Sunset Village in Camden, DE. We’re currently delivering this 238-unit community that offers one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments, meeting the demand in a market short on rental supply while offering the lifestyle and quality preference renters seek. Check out the latest video from JLAM featuring this unique community. We love creating quality housing in overlooked markets and have already been rewarded with a high occupancy rate, which is great for our investors and makes Sunset Village feel like home. https://lnkd.in/gryskB7J #multifamilyrealestate #realestatedevelopment #ahigherstandardinrealestateinvesting
