Tropicana Properties’ newest addition in 2021 is Anthony Palms, a new 80-unit duplex community that offers affordable, high-quality living to El Paso’s neighboring community, Anthony, Texas. With a population of 5,655 residents, Anthony Palms wasted no time in making a community impact with those of the town. Its grand opening initiative saw the property reach 100% physical occupancy in less than 40 days.
Since its opening, Anthony Palms has set the groundwork for both fiscal and occupational sustainability, having a superb lease-up period and achieving full occupancy in just over a month. Quickly reaching full physical occupancy and stabilizing its financial occupancy marks a tremendous achievement by industry standards.
Paired with a community outreach program and social services that strive to establish resident engagement and interaction, Anthony Palm’s management is creating an inviting atmosphere. Monthly functions have been developed to strengthen resident relationships and morale while also giving residents opportunities to purchase a Tropicana home.
A key component to establishing resident relationships is Tropicana’s various social services, which offer programs and services to assist its residents. These no-cost services include monthly exercise courses, weekly chore help for the elderly, and even homebuyer workshops. Tropicana’s social services goal is to provide information, resources, and incentives to all tenants.
