Planned Property owns and manages more than 3,000 apartments in dozens of buildings in prime River North, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park andLakeview East locations. Planned Property’s offerings range from vintage courtyards to contemporary mid-rises to full-amenity high-rises, and they’re all student-friendly according to Planned’s Dan McDonough.
McDonough recently outlined the top 5 reasons why students move to Planned Property buildings.
#5 A resident referral bonus. “Students know lots of people and they are broke. If they refer someone who signs a lease in their building they receive a discount on their rent.”
#4 Amenities are a great fit. “Many of our buildings have free business centers with free Wi-Fi and free printing. 55 West Chestnut, our latest acquisition, has free Wi-Fi throughout the building.”
#3 We love students. “Whether students are coming from out of state or out of country, we have student-friendly policies and know how to process applications and get leases signed. Dealing directly with decision-makers removes all the uncertainty from the process.”
#2 Transportation. “Public transit is key for students. Planned Property buildings are steps to transportation to get to any campus, and a short walk from some campuses.”
#1 Student discounts. “All students (and recent grads) are eligible for a $300 to $500 discount on their first month’s rent.”
