Sorry for the delayed blog, but been busy and on the road. My eldest son has packed up and move on campus at NC State University. So, I'm officially a Wolfpack Mom! I just wish they had a better football team.
Some good news...we were just awarded the managment of St. Albans at North Hills. A mid-rise mixed used apartment building under contruction in Raleigh, NC. It will have 409 units with average rents around $1300/month. There will be underground parking and 2 floors of retail with a Harris Teeter. We are currently working with the owner on the construction plans as well as their branding iniatives. We should have our first units in Fall 2009. Construction is almost complete on Smith's Landing Apartments in Blacksburg, VA and construction is complete on our renovated historical hotel, The Chamblin, in Hampton, VA. If you haven't visited their websites, please do...wonderful properties!
In a couple of weeks, I will participate in the Race for the Cure in Charlotte, NC with the Charlotte Apartment Association. I know too many people who have had cancer or have a loved one with cancer. I am walking in honor of my dear friend, Susan, who recently found out she has breast cancer at 45 years old. I ordered a photo button of her to wear during the race at www.buttonsofhope.com. Let me take this opportunity to remind everyone to volunteer for a non-profit organization. You can make a difference in someone's life. You can visit www.volunteermatch.org to see what organizations are in your area.
Now...something for fun...visit http://secure.wonderfulgraffiti.com for some great ideas on decorating a playroom, bedroom or bathroom. We used this site to help decorate the Raleigh Training Room. You can make up your own saying or use one of their quotes to put up on a wall. Some of our properties have used this site to decorate their clubhouses.
My youngest son just texted me...he wants to sign up for driver's ed...should I text him back and just say NO?? And why is he texting me and not calling me???
