We invite you to grab one of the remaining seats on the 2026 New Construction Bus tour (also created for Actual People) in our industry to break away for a day and be inspired by the spaces, amenities, decor, design, and all of the nuanced ways that multifamily is meeting the wants and needs of its residents!

You'll tour not only Vivian Queensbridge, but 3 additional properties, plus an after-party!

Vivian was thoughtfully created for the visionaries. Actual people. Not hypothetical ones. Not Instagram versions. Actual people who work and love and gather and rest. Every decision reflects that.

The balconies say: you deserve views.
The rooftop says: you deserve to gather.
The kitchens say: you deserve to cook.
The bedrooms say: you deserve real rest.

None of this is poetic. It's practical. It's just what happens when you design for visionaries. Above all, Vivian.

Seeing BRAVO through your literal lens has been so fun! This memory was shared by Liz Newkirk, who says:

This one was one for the books. Making history as Supplier Council Chair, and the last BRAVO that we had Eddie (at the far end) with us. It was history-making for a lot of reasons ♥

Don't leave a high achiever out there wondering about the work they're doing.

Get loud about the impact they're making - say it with a 2026 Greater Charlotte Apartment Association BRAVO Award nomination - and do it before the window closes on Monday, August 31!

That Greater Charlotte Apartment Association Annual New Construction Bus Tour energy just hits different!

The New Construction Bus Tour also offers one of the most immersive days to build brand visibility and industry relationships.

The biggest of these is BUS SPONSORSHIP!

SPLITTING A BUS IS AN OPTION! IF THE BUS FEELS TOO BIG TO GO IT ALONE, CONSIDER THE POWER/SAVINGS OF COLLABORATING WITH A SUPPLIER COLLEAGUE!

Beyond the bus itself, suppliers can still connect with this audience through a BREAKFAST, LUNCH, OR AFTER-PARTY SPONSORSHIP!

Attendee seats are almost full; don't miss out on the connections that will empower your pipeline!

Join us on Friday, Sept. 25 for the Selling Charlotte New Construction Bus Tour!

CERTIFIED FOR SUMMER?

In multifamily housing, the pool is one of the highest-visibility amenities and one of the highest-risk liabilities on a property. A strong maintenance team with certified pool professionals creates operational confidence that impacts everything from resident satisfaction to NOI.

Secure spots for the Aug. 12 session before registration closes on Friday, Aug. 7.

WOWZAH!
REALLY?
Nooooo Waaaaaayyy!

These are a few of the texts that we've already gotten this morning after releasing Jay Parsons as our 2027 Greater Charlotte Apartment Association Economic Forecast Breakfast speaker!

Because we anticipate tickets selling out quickly, we've launched a Breakfast Link List. Add your email (link below), and we'll send ticketing information to your inbox the day the event goes live!

And if you're curious as to why bringing Jay to your 2027 breakfast table is such a big deal, here are a few reasons:

Jay Parsons is a rental housing economist, advisor, and speaker. He has advised numerous multifamily and single-family rental housing stakeholders – from institutional investors, REITs, regional operators, lenders, regulators, and government agencies.

Jay hosts a weekly podcast called The Rent Roll with Jay Parsons, which in 2025 ranked among Spotify’s top 1% for most-shared shows and in the top 2% for listening time and growth. Additionally, readers of CRE Daily ranked The Rent Roll as the No. 1 housing podcast and No. 3 overall in commercial real estate.

More than 150,000 people follow Jay’s content on social media. Favikon, a social media analytics firm, ranked Jay as the No. 3 voice on real estate globally, noting:

“He keeps it simple … The tone is conversational and candid, which pulls in pros who want clarity without agenda. Posts read like field notes, with context, caveats, and the occasional dry humor. The mix of original analysis and open debate makes him feel both authoritative and approachable.”

Jay has been cited in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, The Economist, The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC News, and he has appeared on CNBC and BloombergTV. His commentaries have been published by Barron’s, the Pension Real Estate Association, the Mortgage Bankers Association and American Banker, among others.

In addition to independent speaking engagements and consulting, Jay serves as an Economics Advisor to JPI, a Strategy Advisor to Madera Residential and a partner in Waymaker. Previously, Jay was the Chief Economist at RealPage.

Jay also serves on the Board of Advisors for Apartment Life, a faith-based non-profit serving apartment residents and operators.
