'Park Place' Tops List of Most Common US Apartment Names
By John Doherty
summary
CoStar discusses the origin of apartment building names across the country. While development teams strive to keep the originality, some apartment complexes are prone to duplication, especially in second-tier markets where they may be named after a creek or a hill. Jacqueline Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors says one way to stay original would be to name the building after the founder or developer of the property itself. Or, if it’s a conversion, use the name to tell a story about the building’s former life.
