How do you prove rental demand before a building is finished?

With a waitlist. The Current, a 72-unit Class A building in Grand Rapids’ Creston neighborhood, needed renters to show interest while it was still under construction.

Challenges:

  1. Pre-Lease Interest: Attracting potential tenants to commit to leases before construction completion.

  2. Market Data Utilization: Leveraging real-time market data to dynamically inform and adjust the lease-up strategy.

  3. Neighborhood Promotion: Showcasing Creston as a vibrant and up-and-coming location to attract renters.
