CHICAGO - (February 26, 2026)
Draper and Kramer, Incorporated, a national real estate services firm, is pleased to announce 11 rental communities from its national management portfolio were named 2025 Resident Satisfaction award winners by SatisFacts, the multifamily industry’s premier authority on resident satisfaction and retention. In addition, two of those same Draper and Kramer-managed rental communities also won an ApartmentRatings epIQ Top Rated award for resident satisfaction as measured by ApartmentRatings.com reviews – a top-tier recognition received by a select group of rental communities nationwide.
Draper and Kramer also received a SatisFacts 2025 National Company Award and was recognized as an ApartmentRatings epIQ Top 50 Management Company.
“What makes these recognitions for resident satisfaction especially gratifying is that many of the properties from our portfolio earn these honors year after year, reflecting the dedication and hard work of our team in delivering exceptional living experiences and creating communities that feel like home,” said Julie Stevlingson, senior vice president and director of management services with Chicago-based Draper and Kramer. “And as much as these property recognitions highlight what we’re doing right, the feedback we receive from SatisFacts and ApartmentRatings.com surveys is data we truly take to heart and put into action as we constantly strive to enhance our management approach and ensure we continue meeting the needs of residents in the future.”
The two Draper and Kramer communities receiving an ApartmentRatings epIQ Top Rated award for resident satisfaction include:
- HUBBARD221 (221 W. Hubbard St.) in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, a 195-unit luxury apartment tower with studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units
