Local apt firms find innovative solutions for residents

Urbane Apartments has formed a partnership with The Night Move as the latest innovative offering for renters in Metro Detroit.

The Royal Oak-based firm owns 14 apartment buildings in Royal Oak, Ferndale, Troy, Clawson, and Birmingham. These units are made with a moderne look and are marketed to younger professionals who want to live close to downtowns. This new partnership helps facilitate that.

The Night Move is a bus service that makes stops between downtowns along the Woodward corridor during weekends. The idea is to give people a safe ride while they enjoy the nightlife. The bus will now make stops at eight of Urbane Apartments' buildings in Ferndale, Royal Oak and Berkley, which house about 400 people.

"It came from two entrepreneurs sitting down and figuring out how we can add value to our customer bases," says Eric Brown, CEO of Urbane Apartments.

The bus will provide another perk for Urbane Apartments residents and put its logo on a bus that drives all over southeast Oakland County. The deal also allows The Night Move to add another bus to its fleet that it can use for corporate and private events.

Not to be outdone, Farmington Hills-based Village Green is offering a mobile application to facilitate more rentals. The longtime apartment management firm has launched mobile wireless access to apartments that enables prospective renters to choose a community, tour, and rent an apartment from their smart phones.
