NEW YORK, June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan Asset Management today announced a deal with Amazon to outfit 85 multifamily properties comprising more than 23,000 units with Hub by Amazon, an amenity that provides quick and secure access to packages from any sender, not just Amazon.

"J.P. Morgan is excited to utilize innovative technology like the Hub by Amazon to enhance the resident lifestyle and experience in our communities," said J.P.

And the Hub will free up community staff to provide higher value-add services to the property and resident base."
