Multifamily Residential Property Management

Chicago’s multifamily residential sector spans Class A luxury apartment towers in River North and the Gold Coast, Class B and C value-add communities across the city’s neighborhoods, affordable housing developments throughout the metro, and suburban garden-style communities from Evanston to Joliet. This sector requires a wide range of property management and maintenance professionals.

Apex WFP places leasing consultants, property managers, assistant property managers, maintenance technicians, groundskeepers, and make-ready technicians at multifamily properties throughout Chicago and the suburbs. We understand the specific demands of residential property management: fair housing compliance awareness, tenant communication standards, lease-up operations, and the maintenance response timelines that tenant satisfaction requires.

Commercial Real Estate and Office Buildings

Chicago’s commercial real estate sector, concentrated in the Loop, River North, the Magnificent Mile, the West Loop, and suburban office markets in Schaumburg, Oak Brook, Rosemont, and Itasca, requires facilities management professionals, building engineers, janitorial supervisors, tenant services coordinators, and administrative support staff who understand the service expectations of commercial property tenants.
