Our team had a fantastic time at the Chicagoland Apartment Association golf outing, connecting with industry partners, building new relationships, and enjoying a day dedicated to collaboration both on and off the course. 

We always appreciate opportunities to engage with our multifamily network and strengthen the partnerships that make our industry thrive.

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.

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.

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!

Sam English has been named a finalist for Property Manager of the Year at the upcoming REjournals Awards, recognized for his ability to drive performance while building strong relationships with both residents and ownership groups.

From completing the lease-up at 3140 N Clybourn to navigating a mid-year ownership transition and delivering consistent portfolio results, Sam's impact is both measurable and meaningful.

With a 97% average occupancy and strong 71% renewal rate, his work reflects a clear commitment to operational excellence and a resident-first approach.

Congratulations to Sam on all he accomplished last year, this year, and beyond!

Some people manage projects. Others raise the standard.

Andre Shakom has been nominated for Project Manager of the Year at the REjournals Awards, driven by his hands-on approach, technical expertise, and commitment to doing things the right way.

"Andre is exactly the kind of team member you want on your side: someone who shows up, puts in the work, and cares about getting it right. His hands-on, in-person approach is a big part of why his projects succeed," said Mike Zucker.

From inspections to capital projects, Andre's impact is felt across every corner of our portfolio—and his belief in boots-on-the-ground work continues to set him apart.
