Archstone-Smith Honored as the 2006 NAHB Multifamily Property Management Company of the Year
Archstone-Smith has developed communities in the nation’s best apartment markets and continues to be a pioneer within the multifamily industry. In April, Archstone-Smith received NAHB Multifamily's Pillars of the Industry's Award for Best Property Management Company of the Year at the Pillars of the Industry Awards Gala in Scottsdale, Ariz.

This Denver-based firm is respected and recognized for its qualitative approach to customer service, professional associates, and its track record of innovation and success. 

Archstone-Smith’s tag line explains the judges' choice: “Great Apartments. Great Service. Guaranteed.” Archstone-Smith is committed to providing the best product by providing a 100% move-in satisfaction guarantee as well as a one-day service guarantee for its residents. Archstone-Smith’s creation of an online leasing application that gives residents the ability to fully transact a lease with a few clicks of a mouse is an example of one of its many innovations. This online lease product not only makes life easier for the resident, but frees up time for the associate to respond to customer related issues more efficiently. 

The judges noted that Archstone-Smith provides residents with a high level of service by providing flexible lease terms, and a relocation guarantee that the company will help you find a new apartment within its family of apartment communities if you need to move across town to a new city or state. 

Archstone-Smith, a Real Estate Investment Trust, successfully manages over 250 high-rise and garden style apartment communities and 86,937 units with the majority of the units conventional and owner-managed. Archstone-Smith’s impressive portfolio include: Lofts 590, Arlington, Va.; The Park Hudson, Manhattan; Archstone Tower Square, Boston; and Arch stone Playa del Ray, Playa del Rey. Calif. 

In 2005, Archstone-Smith was recognized as One of America’s Top 50 Employers for Minorities by Fortune Magazine and ranked number 6 on the 2005 National Multi Housing Council 50, an annual ranking of the 50 largest U.S. apartment owners and managers. Archstone-Smith’s portfolio for the Pillars Awards includes a recommendation form Thomas M. Menino, mayor of Boston, and the Regional Director of Habitat for Humanity, Edwin F. Koldenhoven.
