The Challenge
MGNY’s greatest challenge was how to bring our personal, meticulous approach to every applicant in a project of this scale.
The Solution
We managed this through several points of contact by phone, text, email. In person tours were carefully crafted to underline the building’s best features. Applicants were nurtured through the application and lease up process by our project managers and communications team. Several of the applicants left reviews of their experience on Google.
