Lumen Apartments Fully Leased Less Than Six Months After Completion

Craig Davis Properties

Craig Davis Properties (CDP) released updated leasing information announcing the full leasing of its luxury multifamily property, Lumen Apartments, five months after completion. The lease up time of the property exceeded original projections, confirming CDP’s market intuition- the Hampton Roads market is growing and properties like multifamily luxury units will continue to be solid investments for developers and the community. The luxury Lumen Apartments provides state-of-the-art amenities, unrivaled in the region. The 300-unit community includes distinctive living spaces, with granite countertops, spacious kitchens and a wide variety of layouts to meet all residents’ needs. To view a full list of amenities, visit https://www.lifeatlumen.com. The neighborhood community and the Hampton Roads region at large both have a wide variety of entertainment, shopping and restaurants- making the property a unique crossroads of luxury and urban living. The Triangle NC based developer has additional plans for the Hampton Roads area as the region and development market continues to grow. “We are thrilled to see such a quick return on this investment,” said CDP CEO Craig Davis. “The Hampton Roads area was a perfect opportunity for a project of this magnitude and the team at Drucker + Falk Property Management went above and beyond to fully lease this property. We’re excited to work with them more on our upcoming multifamily projects, namely the Banks at Bridgewater, opening this fall in South Carolina.” Careful consideration went into selecting the perfect location for a property of this magnitude. The decision to develop on this site was strongly influenced by nearby economic drivers- Langley Air Force Base, Huntington Ingalls Industries, and other Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Hampton Roads. The CDP team worked with city officials to bring new life to the Hampton Roads Center North business park- by allowing a new residential component within the park. The organic rent growth at Lumen resulted in more than double the average monthly leases versus other multifamily properties in the area. About Craig Davis Properties Founded by Craig Davis, former NCSU basketball player and Triangle resident in 1988, Craig Davis Properties (CDP) has grown into an industry leader in the development community - building projects throughout North Carolina and the Southeast. CDP's broad portfolio of projects range from commercial to multifamily communities that offer a diverse, modern lifestyle and an appealing environment to live and work.

Seattle’s Tallest Mixed-Use Tower Welcomes its First Residents

Wright Runstad

Wright Runstad & Company and J. P. Morgan announced that they welcomed the first residents to The Residences at Rainier Square earlier this summer. Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, Rainier Square’s striking profile is wrapped in glass and prism panels, making it an exciting addition to the skyline. Wright Runstad & Company partnered with institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives on development of the Rainier Square mixed-use project. Sitting atop Rainier Square, The Residences are an exclusive collection of 189 for-lease homes that start where other towers end, occupying floors 39-58 of the mixed use structure. The 40th floor Sky Lobby is 550 feet above the street and boasts 20-foot ceilings and walls of windows. With horizon-to-horizon views, every home offers unprecedented penthouse-height living, making each one an opportunity like no other in downtown. The Residences offer exclusive and spacious 1, 2, and 3-bedroom plans and a handful of top floor Penthouses, each with more than 3,000 square feet of living space. The Residences at Rainier Square were designed and finished to the standards of Seattle’s premier condominium homes, and some of its early residents have taken advantage of its unique offering of leases up to 20 years in length. Long-term leasing, while not new in other areas of the country and world, is not common in Seattle and it is just one more detail that sets The Residences at Rainier Square apart from any other luxury rental building in the city. NBBJ is the architect for Rainier Square’s signature tower and The Residences were designed by Ankrom Moisan Architects and The Society. Wright Runstad & Company’s residential development team also included The Schuster Group as owner’s representative and Turner Construction as general contractor. Greystar serves as the community manager and leasing agent for The Residences. With approximately 14,000 square feet of curated and exclusive amenity spaces, residents have abundant opportunities to relax, connect and practice wellness. Residents also enjoy 24/7 concierge services that add convenience and efficiency to their daily lives, and amenities are trophy quality with unique features like a Full Swing golf simulator within the golf lounge and an indoor grilling station that opens to the fresh air. Every detail was thought of not only for the residents, but their four-legged friends including a full-service pet lounge with grooming stations, an exercise room, play area, and pet relief. “Our goal was to create a vertical community within the heart of Downtown Seattle where residents could live, shop and work,” said Jon Runstad, chairman of Wright Runstad & Company and a new resident. Jon adds, “Rainier Square will feature a new PCC Community Market at The Residences’ doorstep along with other exclusive retail offerings. Residents who work remotely will appreciate the expansive co-working spaces along with reservable conference and entertaining spaces. Our design and development team worked hard to bring the best aspects of multifamily and hospitality together to create an unforgettable living experience.” Most homes offer powder rooms for guest use, including one-bedroom homes, a unique touch in the multifamily sector. Every residence also features luxury hardwood-style flooring, high-end Italian Bertazzoni appliances, gas ranges, panelized appliances, waterfall islands, casework with integrated lighting, backlit mirrors, walk-in showers featuring tiled surrounds and glass doors, custom closet systems, air conditioning, smart home technology, and infinite views to the water and skyline. Premium homes feature upgrades including double ovens, built-in microwave drawers, an undercounter wine fridge, soaking tubs, full size pantries, custom built-in casework, linen cabinets, and walk-in laundry rooms. On the upper floors of The Residences, soaking tubs are featured along the glass so residents can unwind while taking in the breathtaking views, a luxury afforded by the privacy of living 800 feet above the city. The penthouse homes have additional upgrades beyond the premium offerings, including Wolf and Subzero appliances, a full-size Subzero wine fridge, concealing casework on appliances, two panelized dishwashers, gas fireplaces, and electric roller shades.

Cloud Conventions Creates DIY Playbook for Managing & Delivering Virtual Events

Convey Services

Cloud Conventions today released a new Do-it-Yourself (DIY) eBook for associations, nonprofits, and businesses designed to reduce cost and increase efficiency with a self-managed program to create and deliver a virtual conference or trade event. It’s all outlined in “The DIY Virtual and Hybrid Event — Case Study,” available for free to download. Cloud Conventions is a sophisticated event management platform that redefines the attendee and exhibitor experience focused on delivering virtual and hybrid events for associations and business. “Most organizations with live events that were scheduled in 2020 and 2021 have now had the experience of staging those events virtually,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Cloud Conventions. “Even though live events are returning, maintaining a virtual event option will be vital to your event strategy, even after all of the challenges of COVID have passed. To simplify and demystify the process, we created a DIY program for meeting planners that have gotten comfortable with virtual events but want to maximize their effectiveness, while managing more of the elements themselves to reduce cost and maintain more control.” The cost and effort to add virtual options to complement a live event or as a stand-alone event has been overwhelming for many organizations with limited staff or a tight budget. Cloud Conventions’ DIY Virtual Events offer a low-cost subscription to the event management platform and a step-by-step playbook to simplify planning, execution, and management. The DIY event program shows you on how to create a content and session strategy, a virtual exhibit option for sponsors, expanded attendee engagement strategies and a way to automate onboarding attendees and manage the platform. A DIY platform comes configured and organized, making it easy to brand and add other elements without technical expertise or programming. “We generated two of our own virtual events before we began delivering virtual events to clients,” added Bradfield. “We took the lessons we gained from our events and coupled them with what we learned from executing hundreds of events for other customers. We created an eBook that outlines 9 key steps for executing a successful DIY virtual event. In this eBook, we relate those steps to how we delivered Cloud Conventions 2021, a virtual trade event for the telecommunications and cloud sales channel in May 2021.” The Cloud Conventions technology platform is designed with the non-technical user in mind with self-help and user tips built into administrative routines. The platform comes with templates for email communication, virtual exhibitor booths, session and content posts, directories and pages. Customers can take advantage of built-in Zoom or BlueJeans by Verizon conferencing capabilities to broadcast video sessions and keynotes. Event planners can also use their own preferred video accounts such as Teams, GoToMeeting or GlobalMeet.

Cloud Conventions Releases New eBook for Associations Detailing 2021 Virtual & Hybrid Event Outlook

Convey Services

Cloud Conventions today released a new eBook exclusively for event planners of professional associations and trade groups entitled “2021 Virtual & Hybrid Event Outlook for Associations,” available free to download. It offers practical advice for associations to make their next live, hybrid or virtual event deliver the right experience for the organization, its members, and sponsors. The eBooks focuses on the business case for redefining online event experiences backed by research. “Professionals that manage live and virtual conferences for associations struggle with how they should engage their membership now that live events are starting to return,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Cloud Conventions. “We assembled this eBook to look at research from well-respected sources to see how having virtual event options has impacted how members engage with associations before, during and after the pandemic. We look at how sponsors view their investment in virtual events, and what it tells us about how associations should plan their event strategy moving forward.” In 2020 the pandemic forced associations to cancel in-person gatherings and pivot to everything from webinars to multi-day virtual conferences. Scrambling to offer some sort of online experience to replace the much-anticipated live conferences represented a fundamental change in the way an association and its membership connected historically. The result was a lower revenue producing virtual option that represented a huge decline in the association’s bottom line. However, the upside of virtual events, when effectively done, has been a game changer for many associations leading to increased attendance, greater member engagement and additional sponsorship revenue outside of membership or attendance fees. “Now that live events are starting to return, associations have asked themselves if continuing virtual events are really worth it,” added Bradfield. “ The 2020 study of 1,000 respondents, ‘Association Trends: From Disruption to Opportunity ’ produced by Community Brands reveals that having a virtual option for membership participation has moved from a nice to have, to a must have. Recent cancellations of live events because of renewed COVID concerns scheduled for this fall is an indicator that the pandemic is far from over. Having a virtual or hybrid option still is the best insurance that the show will go on, no matter what.” Although 2020 was disruptive, in the last several years revenue from membership dues has declined for many associations, while revenue from other sources increased, accounting for over half of the funding for a given group. “2021 Virtual & Hybrid Event Outlook for Associations” reviews the value delivered to the membership and key factors behind increased participation when doing virtual or hybrid events.
