Whether they live in a luxury <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flat<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or in affordable housing, residents today demand that broadband is available from the day they move in. More importantly, however, is that they are willing to pay higher rent for high-speed internet access \u2014 about $35 (<\/span><b>\u2248<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a329) more<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2 Dedicated Work from Home Areas<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid work remains the future of work. In a recent Accenture study of 9,000 workers, 83% expressed a preference for hybrid work: a combination of work-from-home and work-in-office and 75% of employees want to continue to work flexibly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>2,3<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Most <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">startlingly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 40% of those surveyed who were working at home said they would look for another job if their employer forced them to return to the office full<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even Chief Executive of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, who has been vocal about getting workers back to the office, said in a letter to shareholders that 50% of the bank\u2019s staff will spend some or all of their time working from home in the future<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home builders<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> designers are installing small spaces like pocket offices, workstations, flexible rooms without closets, and unused corners that can be used as work areas to create better, more flexible living and workspaces in residential <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">housing units<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3 Co-Working Spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residents are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seeking additional areas within their<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental properties<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to work<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> besides their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">own residential units.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Savvy <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">property<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> owners are installing private offices, ergonomic meeting spaces, and co-working spaces. Of course, lobby Wi-Fi, charging centres, extra outlets, desks, and task lighting are crucial to the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">residential<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> community experience. With social distancing and masking guidelines over, residents are beginning to seek connection and networking events with their neighbours again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4 Self-Leasing Tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to advancements in technology, self-leasing tools are finally here. Virtual tours of the floor plan and living space are now a necessity. Recent statistics illustrate that 67% of people want more businesses to offer virtual tours<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And customers aged 18 to 34 are 130% more likely to book a place if there is a virtual tour. According to industry studies from the Center for Realtor Development, high-quality photography properties lease and sell 32% faster than those with poor photos or a lack of photos altogether<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>7<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a property<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> owner or property manager seeking further automation, there are several other tools at your disposal. MeetElise, for instance, acts as a leasing agent and responds intelligently to prospective residents via text or email. Self-reported stats show that it reduces the number of days residential<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental properties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the market by 39%. Funnel, which just raised $14 million in venture capital, streamlines the leasing process. And Checkpoint is filling an essential void by identifying and verifying lease prospects. Its solution reduces rental fraud and improves property safety. Utilisation of Checkpoint skyrocketed from 3% in March to 40% during the height of the pandemic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>8<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5 Green Innovations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plants and flowers in the lobby create a connection to nature while also improving the air quality of living spaces. Research also shows that plants can increase the happiness factor for your residents<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>9<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#6 A Life of Luxury<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-end renters are emerging from the capital and other <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big cities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hybrid working models have encouraged some renters to move out of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big cities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to smaller, commuter towns but many still expect the same standard of premier amenities in their residential <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">housing units<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pre-pandemic, a luxury budget for BTR developments in these areas would not have been as common, however, a shift in behaviour and expectations has elevated the demand. In short, luxury living is now a reality in the regional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> market<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#7 Pets as the Ulti-Mutt Amenity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic demonstrated the importance of furry friends in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">residential<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> living. Many residents looked to the benefits pets can bring, including companionship and increased mental and physical health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love to Rent, a digital marketing platform for BTR found the most common feature of today\u2019s Build to Rent developments <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">friendly renting. Love to Rent reported 74% of BTR developments on their site welcomed pets, compared to just 7% of private landlords<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>10<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing pet-friendly amenities (like a dog park) is not only a great way to attract new residents but is also a great resident retention idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#8 Outdoor Spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balconies and outdoor space are a hotly requested amenity for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">residential<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> living. Whereas CGI Strategies, a California-based real estate investment and development company, previously stated that approximately 70% of their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flats<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> included balconies, they are now aiming for at least 90% in new projects<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>11<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

With packages bombarding the mail room due to the exponential growth in online shopping, residents now expect <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to have total mailbox security available to them including having <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their packages securely stowed and available at their convenience.
