The Elandis philosophy is always to improve and enhance both the property and the living experience of our communities. We continue to look for new opportunities to do this," commented Ted Lawson, Chief Operating Officer at Elandis.

The firm's strategy includes the acquisition and repositioning of Class C workforce multi-family developments into Class B properties in markets that have a favorable economic performance - and that are experiencing job growth opportunities, have a strong demand for workforce housing and a growing population.

The company has acquired and transformed 2,600 multi-family units, 22 hotels, 11 commercial assets and several development projects, primarily across the Americas.
