Royal American Construction believes that strong communities are built both on and off the job site. That’s why they are proud to support Bay County Youth Athletics (BCYA) — a local organization that creates opportunities for kids to grow, play, and connect through sports.

BCYA provides a fun, inclusive environment where children of all skill levels can learn the value of teamwork, develop athletic skills, and build confidence, all while enjoying the game. Through this sponsorship, Royal American Construction is helping ensure that these young athletes have access to the equipment, coaching, and facilities they need to succeed.

Supporting youth development through sports is one small way we can make a lasting impact in the communities we serve!

We are thrilled to announce that Village Allapattah II in Miami, Florida has been named Property of the Year! This incredible achievement was celebrated in Panama City at our Annual Achievement Awards, where Community Manager Sandra Olivia, overcome with emotion and joy, graciously accepted the award on behalf of her team. Congratulations to everyone at Village Allapattah II!

This prestigious honor represents the culmination of a detailed evaluation process led by our Regional Vice President (RVP) groups, resulting in three standout finalists from across our organization.

Each regional nominee was evaluated based on the following key performance criteria:

  • A physical occupancy average of 96% or higher for the entire year

  • Net Operating Income exceeding both the prior year’s results and the annual budget

  • Delinquency below 2%

  • Above-average results on all inspections

  • Exceptional staff attitude with minimal turnover

Village Allapattah II’s Regional Manager, Genesis Rodriguez, shared the following words about the team:

“Achieving high occupancy, exceeding rent collection goals, and increasing NOI over the course of an entire year is no small accomplishment. It requires strategic planning, consistent execution, and above all a team of individuals who are deeply committed to their work. This success is a direct reflection of exceptional leadership. It speaks volumes about Sandra Oliva, a property manager who not only sets high standards but continuously inspires her team to meet and exceed them. Her unwavering dedication and steadfast focus on both community well-being and operational performance have been instrumental in driving these impressive results. Of course, no great achievement happens in isolation. Behind every high-performing property is a team of passionate, dependable professionals who show up every day with excellence in mind. Losandra Miller, Daimelys Malvarez, Miguel Mezerene, Felix Gonzalez, Orquidea Garcia, and Mirta De La Cruz are those individuals. Through every challenge and success, they work together with integrity, pride, and purpose.

It is because of this collective commitment that Village Allapattah II stands out not just as a high-performing property, but as a truly exceptional community. The residents themselves are proud to call it home, and that is the highest honor of all. This is what can be accomplished in just one year when passion, teamwork, and strong leadership come together. Congratulations to Sandra and the entire team for setting the standard and showing us, what excellence truly looks like.”

Royal American Companies was proud to be well represented at this year’s SAHMA Affordable Housing Conference. This annual event brings together professionals from across the region to share ideas, discuss industry updates, and explore new regulations in the multifamily affordable housing sector.

The conference offers targeted sessions for onsite teams, HUD and LIHTC professionals, maintenance staff, service coordinators, and others committed to serving affordable housing communities. Our team took full advantage of the opportunity to grow professionally, connect with peers, and bring back valuable insights to support the work we do every day.

We know our team looks forward to putting what they’ve learned into action and continuing to deliver high quality service to the residents and communities we serve!

 

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! Today, we’re celebrating the incredible administrative assistants who play a vital role in keeping our operations running smoothly. Each of these team members manages a specific portfolio and supports their community managers, area managers, regional managers, and RVPs with everything from budgets and invoices to vendor coordination and resident calls. Their behind the scenes work is essential to our success. They’re also a driving force in planning the annual achievement awards for their region, ensuring these celebrations are memorable. But there’s so much more to them than their day-to-day tasks! We’re excited to give you a glimpse into who they are outside the office—what they love, who they cherish, and how they spend their time when they’re not keeping us all on track.

Help us celebrate them in the comments!
