RPM Living, a full-service management company and the seventh largest apartment manager in the nation, has been awarded management of Michigan-based GSH Real Estate’s entire 5,000+-unit portfolio of conventional multifamily properties.
The partnership, born out of a client referral, provides a tremendous opportunity for both companies to collaborate on a variety of value-add efforts across the portfolio, to include enhanced resident services, amenities, and unit renovations.
“We aim to collaborate with innovative partners that support our goal of providing high-quality housing and superior returns,” says Gideon Pfeffer, CEO & Managing Partner of GSH Real Estate Group. “RPM Living’s values and strategic approach to property management complements the experience we provide to our residents and investors.”
RPM took over management of the portfolio in stages from November 2022 to February 2023. The majority of GSH’s portfolio (13 communities) is in the Midwest throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, with an additional three communities in Florida and Maryland. RPM’s partnership with GSH further expands and solidifies its footprint as one of the nation’s top multifamily management companies.
“Our roots come from a principal mindset – we pride ourselves on creating value by being innovative and creative with property operations,” says Jason Berkowitz, CEO of RPM Living. “As a likeminded partner, GSH is aligned with our focus on best practice and always operating with a people-first mentality, in terms of both our associates and residents. We’re excited to continue elevating the living experience across this portfolio alongside GSH.”
RPM first entered the Midwest region in March 2021 and has steadily grown its presence since then. Today, RPM manages more than 7,000 units throughout 10 Midwest markets including Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Lansing, Madison, Minneapolis, and Omaha.
