Bike Storage
|
|
With the decrease in people using public transportation and the increase of people wanting to be outdoors during the pandemic, more people have bikes than ever. Once viewed as a luxury, bike rooms have become a hot amenity! Residents need somewhere secure
and easily accessible to store their new bikes without crowding their apartments, and they're willing to pay a premium for it.
Many key elements exist when considering adding a bike room to your next project. Easy to install and
save space, wall-mounted bike racks have become the most popular indoor bike storage. In addition, bike lockers allow residents to
store everything they need to enjoy their next ride safely.
Packing Areas
Residents want to feel confident knowing their packages make it safe and secure. A quick fix to this is utilizing unused space near building entrances. Add a video security system, intercom system, and shelves for a successful package area. Our full breadth of product lines can fit the space and size your project may need.
Bulk Item Areas
Influenced heavily by the pandemic, making fewer trips to the store to stock up on household essentials is now becoming the norm. Entry closets for hanging coats are now being repurposed to store these areas to store bulk items. freedomRail® is the only truly
adjustable storage system that allows residents to make storage fit their needs.
Shared Office Space
As newer residents transition from college students to full-time employees, remote or hybrid work has become common. This new norm has many residents looking at their living spaces differently and seeking multifunctional rooms. Consider
adding chairs, tables, and desks to your common areas.
Pet Cleaning Station
Residents are taking their pet's health just as seriously as their own! Projects must go above exorbitant pet fees and small pet-relief areas to be considered pet-friendly in today's rental market. Not-to-mention,
pet-friendly projects retain residents longer. The 2021 Pet-Inclusive Housing Report states that residents in pet-friendly housing stay 21% longer than non-pet-friendly residents.
Set your next project apart by showing support to these
fury family members by adding a pet cleaning station to your next project! The convenience of having a place to groom their pets is something residents
value when looking for a new apartment.
