We’re excited to launch a brand-new video series highlighting the power of mentorship and teamwork across the Universal Living family!

In this series, we’re pairing experienced property managers with new leaders across our portfolio to celebrate wins, share advice, and build goals for future success together.

Today we’re featuring Brandy, Property Manager at Universal at Mountainview! Brandy has managed three Universal Living communities and recently helped bring Mountainview from lease-up to a fully stabilized community!

We’re also welcoming Shyann, the new Property Manager at The Villas at Pigeon River! After being promoted from Assistant Property Manager, Shyann is stepping into her new role focused on continued education, professional growth, and building strong relationships with residents.

We’re proud to foster a culture where our teams support one another, grow together, and continue creating exceptional communities for our residents. 🧡

From an outdated hotel to modern apartment living.

We are excited to highlight one of our most unique transformations, The Hub. What used to be the Econolodge on Mountcastle Drive is now a community of stylish one and two bedroom apartments.

By taking the building down to the studs, our team was able to completely reimagine the space with modern finishes, updated amenities, and everyday conveniences, without losing sight of affordability.

This is what it looks like to give new life to existing spaces while keeping Johnson City vibrant and growing.
