This former 400-key Red Lion Hotel is being transformed into modern multifamily housing, including 184 apartment units and an entire top floor dedicated to resident amenities. We walk through the Lattice project with real estate developer Justin Earle to see exactly how an existing property can be repositioned for an entirely new use. From creating better resident flow and ADA-accessible units to designing smaller apartments that still feel spacious, this tour reveals how thoughtful real estate development can completely change the value and functionality of a property. You’ll also see how premium amenities, strategic design choices, furnished units, and understanding the end user can impact both rents and leasing demand. In this video, you’ll learn: ✔ How a former 400-room hotel was converted into multifamily apartments ✔ Why some hotel conversions work as one-to-one units while others require combining multiple rooms ✔ How premium amenities can help justify higher rent per square foot ✔ Why designing around the tenant experience is critical in real estate development ✔ How furnished model units can improve leasing—and potentially generate higher monthly rent Real estate development is about more than renovating a building. It’s about understanding the highest and best use of a property, designing for the end user, and making strategic decisions that improve both the resident experience and the economics of the project. Watch until the end to see the furnished versus unfurnished units and discover why furnishing units helped this project command almost $200 more per month while increasing leasing velocity. 💼 Additional Resources 📞 Book Your FREE Strategy Call at https://CallNoelle.com 📚 Get My Best-Selling Books 📘 Get All 4 Amazon Best Sellers FREE at https://noellesbookoffer.com • Real Estate Millionaire Secrets • Millionaire Business Secrets • BNB Millionaire Secrets • Turo Millionaire Secrets 📗 Get 2 More FREE Books — Pick A Horse + The Manifest Journal at https://Deals.NoelleRandall.com 📖 Get My Latest Book at https://makingitbook.com 🌐 Website: https://noellerandall.com ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction & The Lattice Hotel Conversion 01:22 Creating the New Apartment Entrance 02:07 Resident Flow, Security & Package Rooms 04:52 How the Former Hotel Spaces Were Converted 05:46 ADA Units & Floor 13 06:11 Turning Wasted Space Into Premium Amenities 07:47 Inside the Rooftop Community Living Space 10:32 Co-Working Spaces & Work-From-Home Design 12:03 Finding the Highest and Best Use 13:54 Touring the Rooftop Fitness Center 15:31 Why Premium Amenities Support Higher Rents 17:19 Touring the Converted Apartment Units 18:13 Inside the Model Studio Apartment 20:32 Design Decisions, Balconies & Resident Experience 22:23 When Hotel-to-Apartment Conversions Make Sense 24:11 Designing Small Apartments Around Furniture 25:10 Space-Saving Features & Smart Design 26:35 Furnished vs. Unfurnished Units 27:37 The Biggest Conversion Lesson 28:21 How to Work With Justin Earle Alternative Titles: How This 400-Room Hotel Became 184 Apartments Inside a Massive Hotel-to-Apartment Conversion They Turned an Old Hotel Into Luxury Apartments How Developers Make Money Converting Hotels Into Apartments This Hotel Conversion Completely Changed the Property #HotelConversion #RealEstateDevelopment #MultifamilyInvesting
