Case Study

Beech Tree Glen Apartments

J+G Companies has a very thorough due diligence process when considering a potential investment opportunity. Three standards we consistently look for in a potential investment are:

Is this property located in a desirable market and available below market value?
What rehab is needed to maximize rents?
Can our award-winning property management team optimize operational efficiency?

Upon acquisition, Beech Tree Glen Apartments came with a wide array of challenges, including high delinquencies, below market rents, and the need for both interior and exterior renovations. We saw these challenges as an opportunity to add value and make a positive and lasting impact.

The Beech Tree Glen renovation project was around $1M for both major interior and exterior work. This included a number of projects to increase curb appeal to attract potential residents. This rehab work extended into each building with updates to the entryways as well as inside the units.
