As a Leasing Specialist at Landmark on Grand River, a new development student housing community in East Lansing, MI with 273 units and 464 beds, I played a key role in achieving the fastest lease up of the market and community to date by achieving a 98% pre-lease lease up by January 2020 for the 2020/2021 lease year. In addition, I helped coordinate community marketing events by creating a month look-ahead event calendar and establishing budgetary goals and parameters.
