In today’s competitive rental market, residents expect more than basic functionality—they want comfortable, stylish, and efficient living environments. Strategic tenant improvements can transform aging apartments into highly desirable homes while supporting stronger retention and long-term asset performance. From interior refreshes to amenity enhancements and energy-efficient upgrades, well-planned improvements are key to staying competitive and elevating your community’s value.
