Drucker + Falk's Expertise Drives Aura Stonebridge to Exceed Lease-Up Expectations

Leading Property Management Firm Achieves Rapid Occupancy for New Premier Midlothian Community in Just Over a Year

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Drucker + Falk, a leading national multifamily management firm, is proud to announce the successful and rapid lease-up of Aura Stonebridge, a 252-home, Class A community in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The community began welcoming residents in March 2024 and was already 50% pre-leased by July 2024. This rapid lease-up culminated in Aura Stonebridge achieving stabilization ahead of the ownership's expectations in August 2025.

The speed and success of the lease-up is a testament to the dedication of the Aura team, many of whom were new to the industry. Their exceptional performance led to significant recognition, including the "Social Media of the Year" award within the community's first year. Additionally, multiple team members were recognized as finalists in 2024 industry award categories, including Emmanuel Gamao for Assistant Property Manager of the Year, Brenna Andrews for Leasing Professional of the Year, and Wade Villegas for Rookie of the Year.

This team's success was a direct result of their ability to bring to life the "atmosphere of luxury" that truly differentiates Aura Stonebridge. This is a living experience unparalleled in the rental market, where each apartment home provides a true sense of high-end living. The luxury atmosphere extends throughout the community, with amenities like a resort-style swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness lounge with Peloton bikes, and a spacious resident clubhouse with a full-service coffee bar. The community's location in the vibrant Midlothian neighborhood also offers an ideal balance of suburban comfort and urban accessibility.

"The success of Aura Stonebridge is proof of the talent and dedication of our on-site team," said Andrew Chisholm, Multifamily Director for Drucker + Falk. "Achieving full stabilization on a brand-new development is a significant accomplishment. However, what is truly remarkable is how this team has risen to the challenge, not only exceeding performance expectations but also cultivating an authentic and thriving community from the ground up. Their commitment to excellence has set a high bar for our entire portfolio."

"The achievement is a powerful example of what can be achieved through true partnership and vision," added Wendy Drucker, Managing Director for Drucker + Falk. "The team not only delivered exceptional results for our client, but also brought the Aura Stonebridge community to life. This is the heart of what we do at Drucker + Falk — we don't just manage properties, we build legacies and foster environments where people can truly thrive. This team's accomplishment makes us all incredibly proud."

This record-breaking lease-up and stabilization underscores Drucker + Falk's decades of proven management expertise.
