New Zora Living offering redefines standard for luxury rental home projects

 

Charlotte, NC - RKW Residential, one of the nation’s fastest-growing multifamily management firms, officially launched leasing at Charlotte’s newest build-to-rent (BTR) community, Zora University in the sought after suburb of University City.  The pet friendly Zora University sets a new benchmark for luxurious amenities, services and smart home features in a community environment.

 

Zora University is one of the nation’s newest BTR communities delivering professionally managed, cluster rental homes  providing residents with the unique opportunity to  enjoy all the benefits of single-family living without burdens that often come with homeownership such as expensive long-term mortgage payments, never ending maintenance costs, property insurance, homeowners association fees or property taxes.

 

The one and two-bedroom ranch-style homes at Zora University are intentionally designed to create spaces for gathering and socializing, with spacious open floor plans and kitchens appointed with large islands. Smart home features include keyless entry, smart thermostats and lights. Each home has its own private, walk-up entrance, doggy door and individually fenced backyard, and is connected to neighborhood amenities by a network of walking paths.

 

Amenities at the gated community include a 24/7 fitness center with a yoga lawn, resort-inspired swimming pool, poolside sun deck, outdoor barbecue grills, open-air courtyards and 24-hour emergency maintenance.

 

“Zora University truly has no counterpart in the Charlotte market,” RKW CEO Marcie Williams said. “The Zora Living brand is elevating the standard for BTR communities when it comes to in-home features and amenity offerings.

 

Zora University is a joint development between Suncrest Real Estate based out of Pheonix Arizona and Pintar Investment Company, LLC based out of San Juan Capistrano, CA.

 

Founded just nine years ago, RKW is one of the industry’s most compelling entrepreneurial success stories in recent memory. RKW recently achieved a significant milestone by surging to No. 2 in one of the industry’s most respected resident satisfaction rankings. The firm produced the nation’s second-highest online reputation score in the J Turner Research’s 2023 ORA® Power Ranking.

 

RKW also made its first appearance in the National Multifamily Housing Council’s (NMHC) 2023 Top Property Managers list, a ranking of the nation’s 50 largest apartment managers. In September 2023, RKW was honored by Multifamily Executive with a 2023 MFE Award in the “Best Use of Proptech” category.
