LMC, a leader in apartment development and operations, this month was named Best Place to Work in Multifamily 2017 by Best Companies Group. The award was presented at the Multifamily Leadership Summit in Scottsdale, Ariz. 

LMC, a real estate development company launched by Miami-based homebuilder Lennar in 2011, emerged from a field of 14 finalists to earn the honor. The award recognizes the company that has established and consistently fostered an outstanding work environment. 

“This is a tremendous honor and genuinely reflects the atmosphere we’ve worked so hard to cultivate,” said Todd Farrell, president of LMC. “It’s our mission to provide an incredible living experience that our residents can’t find anywhere else, and that starts with our people. We infuse our culture with spirit, enthusiasm and passion to make LMC a great place to work with amazing people.”

The 14 finalists were ranked after a rigorous assessment process by Best Companies Group. Employee policies and procedures were evaluated, as well as responses from the company’s employees. The award is part of The 2017 Best Places to Work in Multifamily program that is part of a long-term initiative to encourage growth and excellence throughout the industry and attract new leaders. 

The program also helps companies that want to improve their cultures by offering an employee feedback report for each participating company, even if the company was not among the finalists. 

“When we hire associates and bring them onboard, we want to know them on a much deeper level than their skills and experience,” Farrell said. “We want to know who they really are on the inside and if they’re a great cultural fit with our values as an organization. By hiring the right people, maintaining a fun and challenging work environment and working together to be the best, we’ve created a culture where talented people love to work.”
