Lease-Up Services for New Construction and Repositioned Properties
Getting a new building to stabilization requires a different approach than managing an occupied property. Altus specializes in lease-up — from pre-leasing strategy to full occupancy.
Full-service lease-up from strategy to stabilization
Pre-Leasing Strategy
We develop a leasing strategy before the building is ready — pricing analysis, target tenant profile, marketing timeline, and pre-leasing goals. Starting early means your first units are leased before you open the doors.
Professional Photography & Virtual Tours
High-quality photos and virtual tours are the foundation of every listing. We coordinate professional photography for every unit type and common area before the first showing.
Multi-Platform Listing Syndication
Every unit is listed on Zillow, Apartments.com, Trulia, Hotpads, and our own ShowMojo-powered listing portal. We don't rely on a single platform.
Showing Coordination via ShowMojo
Self-showing technology lets prospective tenants tour units on their schedule — 7 days a week, evenings included. More showings means faster lease-up.
Tenant Screening
Every applicant goes through our full screening process: credit, criminal, eviction history, income verification, and landlord references. We approve qualified tenants, not just fast ones.
Lease Execution and Move-In Coordination
We handle every lease from draft to signature — RLTO-compliant leases, required disclosures, security deposit processing, and move-in inspection documentation.
Lease-Up Reporting
Weekly leasing reports during the lease-up period: applications received, showings scheduled, units leased, and projected stabilization date. You always know where you stand.
