Success Stories
The Problem: A high rise apartment owner had a pre-existing fenced-in storage area located inside their multi-level parking garage. Due to a lack of system management, it became a fire hazard liability for the apartment owner when they had to deal with all the abandoned junk left by prior residents.
The Solution: APT Storage provided on-site storage and cleaned up their mess. Click on Photo Gallery to see the before and after pictures!
The Problem: In 2002, many apartment management companies started ancillary revenue divisions to maximize their revenue stream. One large apartment REIT contacted APT Storage to explore its revenue share program.
The Solution: The REIT was impressed that NO CAPITAL was required in order to reap the benefits of the APT Storage program. After the initial success at their first property, they placed APT Storage units throughout their mid-Atlantic regional portfolio!
The Problem: A smaller management company contacted APT Storage when their property manager realized they had lost four potential renters to a competitor down the street, which had optional garages. Two of the lost prospects needed secure storage for their motorcycles and the other two were moving from a large home. Both wanted storage on-site and wanted it immediately! While the property manager tried to convince the prospects that their property was in a better location, had more amenities, and rent specials, the one “must have” amenity and service, extra secure storage, was not available.
The Solution: Within weeks, APT Storage solved their problem by adding $50,000 worth of new storage amenities, all at no cost to the property! Best of all, the property leased up quickly! They could now compete with any competitor on all levels!
The Problem: An apartment owner with multiple communities near military bases contacted APT Storage. The lack of extra on-site storage meant that many of their military residents had to go two to three miles to the nearest self-storage facility.
The Solution: APT Storage stepped in and, within weeks, delivered their custom finished product to meet the demand of their residents!
