Handover
From Certificate of Occupancy
to Full Occupancy.
We step in the moment the last punch-list item is signed off — protecting finishes, filling units at premium rents, and keeping warranty timelines razor-sharp through the critical first year.
We're in the building before residents are.
Ninety days before CO, we're already working.
While construction wraps, our team embeds alongside yours — reviewing punch lists, auditing amenity specs, coordinating with trades on warranty documentation, and building the resident experience from the inside out. By the time the keys are handed over, we've memorized every mechanical room, every finish spec, and every open item still owed by the GC.
Premium rents. Not just filled units.
First impressions are permanent in new construction.
Our lease-up playbook is purpose-built for brand-new buildings — where every prospect is judging the management as much as the unit. We stage tours around the building story, train leasing staff on construction-specific objections, and price with surgical precision against comparable deliveries. The result: faster stabilization at rents that hold.
Amenities that justify the asking rent.
An empty rooftop deck is a liability, not a feature.
We activate amenity spaces from day one — programming fitness classes, curating resident events, and partnering with local vendors to bring the building's lifestyle promise to life. Every square foot of amenity space is treated as a retention tool, because residents who use the building stay in the building.
Nothing slips through in year one.
The warranty clock starts at CO. So do we.
New construction buildings generate warranty claims at a rate that overwhelms traditional management firms. We built a dedicated tracking system that logs every defect, assigns it to the responsible trade, monitors response timelines, and escalates automatically when deadlines approach. Developers keep their relationships with contractors intact. Nothing falls through the cracks.
The first year sets the next twenty.
How a building performs in month one predicts how it performs in year ten.
We close the loop with a comprehensive twelve-month report — documenting every warranty resolution, every lease-up milestone, every operational decision and its outcome. Developers who retain us through stabilization receive a living asset playbook that informs every future capital decision. The building is no longer a question mark.
Most developments stabilize in 47 days with Handover.
Industry average for comparable new construction deliveries is 4–6 months. Our lease-up methodology cuts that window in half — without sacrificing rent quality. Every day of reduced vacancy on a 200-unit building at $3,500/month is $700,000 recovered.
