- If you are submitting a nomination for a property, we ask that you please honestly rate your properties. Please note that this information is for internal purposes only. Property class will not be announced at the reception. Properties that are not properly rated will be disqualified. To assist you with rating your property, you may use the following as a guide:
- Class A: Generally newer properties built within the last 15 years with top amenities and higher rents. Class A buildings are well located in the market and are typically professionally managed.
- Class B: These properties are generally older than Class A and tend to have lower rents than Class A properties. These buildings are well maintained but the exterior and interior amenity package is typically less than what is offered by Class A properties.
- Class C: These properties are typically more than 20 years old and the property is generally in need of renovation. Class C buildings tend to have the lowest rental rates in the market.
