New 177-Unit Urban Boutique Apartment & Loft Community Offers an Exciting Twist for Orange County Renters
IRVINE, Calif., (July 14, 2009) Shea Properties, a leading real estate development and investment company headquartered in Aliso Viejo, Calif., is pleased to announce the final phase of leasing and move-ins at Calypso Apartments and Lofts, a 177-unit urban boutique rental community like no other in Orange County. Located in the heart of the Irvine Business District, this brand new community has only a handful of new units remaining before it reaches stabilized occupancy. Calypso is ideally situated at the intersection of Jamboree Road and Alton Parkway with easy access to freeways, work centers, beaches and the shops and restaurants at The District. It offers competitive pricing, a wide variety of floor plans, and an architectural design theme that echoes the casual atmosphere of the Caribbean Islands.
"Our goal was to create a one-of-a-kind, luxury rental community with a decidedly urban flare," said Steve Gilmore, senior vice president, Shea Properties. "And the simple fact that these units were originally designed as for-sale condominiums by our sister company Shea Homes, makes living at Calypso even more like owning a home." Designed with the urbanite in mind, Calypso residences combine modern, street-style accents, contemporary colors and steel awnings, with warm designer finishes such as Pergo flooring, maple wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and luxurious granite countertops.
In addition to the deluxe interiors, the community features a resort-style pool and spas with cabanas; a clubhouse with large-screen LCD TVs; a Wi-Fi lounge for people who like to work on the go; gaming tables complete with a Nintendo Wii system; and a fitness center with cardio and weight training equipment. "This is resort-style living at its best," Gilmore added, "but combined with our hands-on management team and our commitment to quality and service, Calypso is tough to beat."
Calypso offers studio, one- and two-bedroom units and a limited number of urban lofts. Sizes range from 605 to 1,448 square feet with competitive monthly rental rates ranging from $1,505 to $2,280. Calypso's on-site leasing office is located at 2801 Alton Parkway #104, Irvine, Calif. For more information please call (949) 724-1722 or visit: www.sheaapartments.com/calypso.

PROVING ITS COMMITMENT TO RESIDENT SATISFACTION, SHEA PROPERTIES' APARTMENT PORTFOLIO NAMED SUPERIOR BY SATISFACTS IN 2008 NATIONAL PROPERTY AND PORTFOLIO AWARDS
- "Top Five" Award Recognition Marks Shea Apartment Communities' Fifth Year in Receiving Superior Ranking From SatisFacts in its National Survey
ALISO VIEJO, CA (March 24, 2009)-Shea Properties, a leading real estate development and investment company headquartered in Aliso Viejo, Calif., received a Superior Portfolio Score by SatisFacts Research LLC, the multifamily industry's premier resident satisfaction research provider and leading authority on resident retention. Each year, SatisFacts surveys tens of thousands of apartment residents nationwide. Shea was one of only 15 companies in the nation to be named Superior as part of SatisFacts 2008 National Property and Portfolio Awards. SatisFacts also named Shea one of the "Top Five" companies receiving its Superior ranking. The recognition marks the fifth year in a row that Shea's apartment portfolio has achieved a superior score and received a National Award from SatisFacts.
SatisFacts uses a five-point satisfaction rating system focused on surveying how residents feel about their living environment and service. The firm conducted a random sampling and telephone methodology as part of its resident satisfaction survey of residents living in Shea's apartment communities. Shea currently owns and manages over 7,000 apartment units in California.
"We're committed to providing the highest quality living environments. Award programs and resident surveys are an important part of how we operate. We find a number of new residents choose our properties because of the award recognitions that we've received," said Steve Gilmore, Senior Vice President of Shea Apartment Communities. "Being recognized for achieving a superior level of service is rewarding for us and for our residents."
According to Andrea Taylor, Director of Learning for Shea Apartment Communities, receiving surveys is just the starting point of identifying solutions to issues impacting resident satisfaction. Once the team receives the surveys, they roll out focused action plans. This includes: training leasing and service staff on courses such as customer service and resident retention; hands-on service maintenance training programs; measurement and monitoring performance through resident move-in surveys.
"Ultimately the findings from these surveys are used to help drive changes that continue to improve resident satisfaction. It's all about our commitment to providing the best possible living environment," added Taylor.
