    Last Saturday, our team was incredibly proud to host THE Pharrell Williams at his former home, Atlantis Apartments, which is owned and operated by Fairstead! 🚀 During the event, Fairstead was thrilled to provide residents with an “Over the Moon” LEGO set, which even features the words “Atlantis Apts” on the product and reminds our community of the power of imagination. 👟 This wasn’t just a homecoming for Pharrell, it was an opportunity to give back. After providing remarks, Pharrell also announced the surprise distribution of more than 200 Adidas Sambas sneakers for every resident in attendance. 🤝 It was a memorable day for our community to say the least, but more than that it reflected Fairstead’s commitment to supporting our communities and fostering partnerships that positively impact our incredible residents. Thank you to Pharrell, the LEGO Group, and adidas for your support throughout this special day. And a special thanks to our team: Including Luai, Estelle, Austin, Cathy, Alex, Jackson, Katelyn, Josh, Irene, Quindasia, Bridget, Elinda, Seth, Anthony, Todd, Nicole, Valerie, Christopher and Khari who jumped at the opportunity to bring this “Brick by Brick” celebration to life! #fairstead10 #affordablehousing

    At Fairstead, we’re committed to doing our part to create sustainable, high-quality communities. That’s why Fairstead’s own Michael (Mick) Gilbert, Director of Energy and Sustainability, and Kelvin (KC) Hoppel, Senior Utilities Asset Manager, were recently presenting at the Blueprint: The Future of Real Estate conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a roundtable discussion focused on net zero buildings, our team talked about the importance of innovation and leadership when it comes to creating efficient neighborhoods. Their conversation was joined by other leading companies at the conference, such as Nuveen Green Capital, and it helped paint a vision of an exciting future for the built environment. We’re proud to be surrounded by industry leaders at Fairstead and Fairstead Ventures who understand the importance of sustainability and are excited to share their knowledge and experience with colleagues across the industry. #sustainabilty #blueprint #affordablehousing

    Recently, in celebration of our 10-year anniversary, members of our team enjoyed a double-header Yankees game at Yankee Stadium. This continued celebration of our 10-year anniversary is an acknowledgement of the many significant milestones we’ve hit over the past decade. For example, this year alone we… 1.) Were named to the National Multifamily Housing Council's 2024 Top 50 Owner List 2.) Ranked #2 out of the top 10 companies completing substantial renovations by Affordable Housing Finance magazine, along with #8 for companies completing acquisitions and #9 for top affordable housing owners 3.) Grew our corporate footprint in Colorado and Florida and acquired new properties, including in Florida and Texas. Our team hits it out of the park day in and day out and we can’t wait to see the continued innovation and growth over the next 10 years! #fairstead10 #affordablehousing #goyankees

    As Fairstead continues to celebrate 10 years of building strong communities, we’re proud to announce that we’ve reached a significant milestone for Chenoweth Woods Apartments – a 99-unit affordable senior property located in Louisville, Kentucky.   Fairstead has closed on financing and we are now preparing for extensive renovations to the homes at Chenoweth Woods! These renovations affirm Fairstead’s goal of providing high-quality housing across the country, and will include essential updates such as new kitchens, bathrooms and efficient appliances. Additionally, we will be refreshing the community’s landscaping and outdoor amenities with the inclusion of a community garden, picnic area and dog run.   We would like to thank our partners at the Kentucky Housing Corporation, Truist Community Capital, Grandbridge Real Estate Capital and our entire team for working alongside us to ensure that all of the communities we serve are places that our residents are proud to call home.   #affordablehousing #fairstead10
