As multifamily communities continue to place greater emphasis on resident wellness and lifestyle driven amenities, fitness spaces have become an increasingly important component of overall property design. For RREAF Holdings, creating successful fitness environments begins early in the development process, where layout, infrastructure, and functionality can be evaluated together.

Taylor Kolle, Multifamily Asset Manager at RREAF Holdings, noted that the team approaches fitness centers as an integrated part of the resident experience rather than a secondary amenity.

"You can often tell when owners or property managers treat amenity spaces and fitness centers as an afterthought, but that's not how we operate," Kolle said. "Understanding that the resident experience isn't solely based on the apartment unit itself, but also from the amenities and services offered throughout the community, is vital to delivering a truly exceptional experience."

The article also highlights the operational considerations involved in designing these spaces, including budget limitations, available square footage, equipment placement, and long-term durability. By working closely with Johnson Commercial Fitness during the planning process, RREAF was able to create layouts optimized for functionality and resident usability across multiple properties.

"At the end of the day nobody on our own team is an expert in the gym and fitness space, so without Johnson we wouldn't be able to fill the space adequately or in the same manner that they are able to," Kolle added.

Through careful planning and targeted design decisions, RREAF Holdings continues to prioritize amenity spaces that support both resident satisfaction and long-term property performance.

We appreciate and thank Multifamily Dive for highlighting RREAF Holdings and sharing insight into the firm's approach to multifamily fitness and amenity design.
