The team headed to Pilot Project Brewing for our quarterly Town Hall.

The numbers: 20+ new team members joined us (the mustard-over-ketchup contingent is winning, for the record), 11,000+ maintenance orders completed in Q2, and 2,000+ residents welcomed into the Peak community.

Internally, we celebrated multiple promotions, the property management is crushing this leasing cycle, and 4 Cubs tickets were given away as a small thank-you for a lot of hard work. 

Q3 is already moving fast and we're keeping the momentum going.

There's always something special about a property changing hands and the new ownership choosing to keep Peak Properties as its management partner. 

It's a vote of confidence we don't take for granted. This Rogers Park center-entrance gem is a favorite. Just one block from the beach and less than three miles from Northwestern's main campus, it offers the best of neighborhood charm with easy access to everything the North Side has to offer. 

Congratulations to the new ownership, and thank you for trusting us. We can't wait to see this beautiful property enter its next chapter.

We just welcomed this Lincoln Park beauty to our management portfolio. 

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, residents get the best of both worlds: neighborhood charm and the energy of Lincoln Park just one block away (seriously, one block). Following a complete gut renovation, this property offers modern apartment living in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.

Growing our management portfolio in the communities we know and love is one of the many reasons we're proud to call Chicago home. Welcome to the Peak Properties family!

What happens when you attend a multifamily conference? You network with industry leaders. You discover new technology. You bring back fresh ideas.

…And apparently, you meet celebrities.

Our Director of Technology, Courtney Sendzimer, represented Peak Properties at this year's Apartmentalize Conference in New Orleans, connecting with multifamily professionals, exploring the latest innovations, and bringing valuable insights back to our team.

She also managed to squeeze in a quick photo with one of her biggest fans… Jeff Goldblum. We didn't realize Courtney's fan base extended beyond the multifamily industry, but honestly, we're not surprised.

When the World Cup came to the U.S., it wasn't a question of if Mike and Kekic would go-it was a question of when.

Kekic, one of Peak's very first contractors, is originally from Bosnia. When he and Mike learned Bosnia would be playing in Seattle, they booked an early-morning flight and headed to the Pacific Northwest.

There, they watched Bosnia defeat Qatar 3-1-a memorable victory made even more meaningful by the journey they've shared together. For nearly three decades, Mike and Kekic have worked side by side on hundreds of unit renovations and capital improvement projects, helping Peak Properties grow into what it is today.

Their story began by chance. When they first met, both were juggling multiple jobs, working hard to build their futures. That chance meeting turned into a decades-long partnership built on trust, dedication, and friendship.

We're proud to recognize Brian Chlada as a finalist for Volunteer of the Year at the upcoming REjournals Awards.

Brian's impact goes far beyond his day-to-day role. As an active member of Peak's People Engagement Committee, he has led and supported meaningful initiatives that bring our team together while giving back to the communities we serve.

From organizing volunteer days with the Greater Chicago Food Depository–helping generate over 53,000 pounds of food for more than 2,000 households–to leading a company-wide food drive with Nourishing Hope, coordinating a Chicago River clean-up, and supporting our annual blood drive with American Red Cross, Brian consistently shows what it means to lead with purpose.

His dedication to service, both inside and outside of Peak, reflects the values we strive to live every day.

Thank you for everything you do for Peak and the Chicago community, Brian!
