🚴♂️ Celebrating Team Spirit and Commitment to a Cure 🚴♀️ The effort to end rare cancers is a continuous journey, and our team at Preserve at Marin in Northern California is proud to be along for the ride. Recently, the Preserve team participated in San Francisco's Cycle for Survival, one of many cycling events across the country that raises funds for the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. 100% of the proceeds directly support the fight to cure rare cancers. "It’s been an honor to take part in this event for several years, and our team at Preserve raised over $4,800," said Preserve at Marin’s Community Manager. "This year alone, Cycle for Survival has raised an incredible $23 million for rare cancer research." A huge thank you to the Preserve at Marin team for their dedication and sweat equity—starting the year off right by logging AIR Gives hours for such an important cause. Together, we move closer to a world without rare cancers. 💪💙

AIR Communities is always striving to enhance the resident experience through thoughtful improvements and design. Recently, our AQS team, along with the incredible team at The Elm in Bethesda, completed a remarkable makeover of the building’s lobby—transforming it into a vibrant, functional space that residents are loving. We converted older offices into a stylish resident lounge with a dedicated co-working space. Plus, we added more package lockers, complete with sleek countertops, to meet the growing demand. These upgrades not only elevate the space but also create a more convenient and modern living environment. As our Senior Director of Construction and Service shared: "Residents are very happy with the renovation." And we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this project—your hard work and dedication are truly reflected in this stunning transformation.
