UKAA Webinar – How has the pandemic impacted the future of apartment living? By Quadient

Tuesday 5th October

 

The pandemic changed many things for apartment living. Lockdown left residents confined to their homes in the most extreme use-case; as a place to study, work, shop, eat, exercise, and relax. Building operators also had to rethink how they managed properties, introducing new, contact-free processes to keep residents and staff safe.  

 

As we emerge from the pandemic, the BTR industry will face new challenges as the needs and expectations of residents continue to evolve. Now renters not only want a safer community environment, but also a more convenient space that has multi-use features. 

 

Looking forward, how will space planners accommodate the rise in hybrid and home workers? Which amenities will support the need for safety and the demand for convenience? And how can building operators attract and retain residents? 

 

In this webinar we discuss the future of apartment living, and what that means for residents, developers and building management.
