Revitalize
We bring smart planning, inspired design and quality construction
to every property we renovate.
Our significant hands-on construction and operational experience enables us to create revitalization plans that are finely-tuned to each property’s unique needs and budget constraints. Further guided by our long-term hold philosophy, we make durable improvements that last in order to preserve this scarce affordable housing well into the future.
Comprehensive Improvements
Much more than cosmetic, Atlantic American’s property revitalizations are both deep and comprehensive. Essential to satisfying our double-bottom line of environmental and financial sustainability, we employ numerous energy-efficiency and resource conservation measures. Typically, we are able to realize at least 30% savings in energy and water usage. Our property revitalizations also utilize the precepts of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design as part of a multi-faceted effort at reducing crime and increasing resident safety, which measures often result in 40% or greater reductions in reported crime. Building life-enhancing amenities like community centers, playgrounds, ball courts, pools, and community gardens are another essential element in fostering happier, healthier residents and building an important sense of community. Further, all renovations include wide-ranging accessibility improvements for persons with disabilities.
Efficient and effective
Having an in-house general contractor, which has renovated over 42,000 apartment homes across the country, provides Atlantic American with a substantive competitive advantage in reducing construction costs and ensuring overall quality. Our unique in-house structure enables us to work efficiently—which means we can do more with less while completing projects on time and within budget. We are able to respond directly and quickly to the inevitable challenges that come with large-scale renovations and have the flexibility and resolution to go outside the scope of work to fix the unexpected the right, long-term way. Importantly, we are highly-experienced in performing renovations with residents in place and in minimizing disruption to their lives throughout the revitalization process.
We listen to stakeholders
Ours is a team approach to revitalizing affordable apartment communities, recognizing that there are many voices to be heard and experiences to be gained from. We seek input from various stakeholders—governmental bodies, residents, neighbors, lenders and investors—and work hard to address their needs and concerns. By engaging professionals in architecture, engineering, environmental science and property management we develop plans that solve problems and improve lives.
Acquire
We are driven to maximize the use of available resources and exceed expectations. That passion fuels our ability to raise funds, extend highly competitive offers and craft optimal solutions to the unique challenges in every development.
Revitalize
We design, renovate and build with residents and communities in mind. Because we use our own in-house general contractor, we’re able to build more with less. Money saved means more upgrades for residents, better deals for sellers and higher returns for investors.
Preserve
We are invested in the long-term vitality of every community we develop. Our hands-on approach to asset management and commitment to providing impactful resident services ensures
that our communities will thrive for years to come.
