Achieving Financial Stability and Community Engagement

When Keystone Lofts partnered with RISE many years ago, the community was ready to transition to the modern era. They needed a reliable financial partner, a trusted advisor, and the right tools and team to help clean up about 18 months without financials, and had significant delinquent assessments. Through proactive management and obsession with details, RISE reconstructed 18 months of financials and partnered with the Board to create a customized approach to eliminate delinquencies while creating a long-range funding plan.

High Insurance Costs: The property was burdened with costly building insurance that lacked sufficient coverage, putting the community at financial risk. Aging Infrastructure: Keystone Lofts faced challenges with many large-scale projects on the horizon, including elevator replacements, needing strong expertise and management.
