Lease Up First Period

Operationalize the first 12-18 months post-delivery of a new-construction or gut-renovation asset: monthly tracker of lease-up velocity vs underwriting, concession depth vs market, approval-rate posture, traffic-source mix, broker-assist rate, model-unit performance, first-renewal retention readiness, stabilization pace, NOI ramp vs underwriting, lender-reporting compliance, and equity-call scheduling for any unfunded reserves. Distinguishes from the steady-state `workflows/monthly_property_operating_review` by adding ramp-tracking metrics and by wiring the cross-system posture between AppFolio (leasing funnel + lease execution) and Excel (rent comp + concession benchmark) into a single lease-up narrative. Hands off to `workflows/monthly_property_operating_review` once the property crosses the lifecycle stabilization threshold. Narrative-first with a KPI dashboard. Informational to recommendation severity: this pack does not authorize concession policy exceptions, pricing shifts, or equity-call initiations —

Lease-Up First Period

Workflow purpose

Give the leasing_director, regional_ops_director, asset_mgmt_director, and investments_lead a single monthly view of a new-construction or gut-renovation asset during its first 12-18 months post-delivery — so that drift from the underwriting lease-up curve, concession escalation beyond the comp set, model-unit or marketing- channel underperformance, and lender-reporting or equity-call timing risk surface in the same month they occur.

This pack is ramp-aware. It is not the steady-state monthly review. It preserves lease-up-specific metrics (lease_up_pace_vs_underwriting, concession_depth_vs_market, noi_ramp_vs_underwriting, first_renewal_window_retention_readiness) and explicitly annotates when a property crosses the stabilization threshold and the ownership-side review cadence hands off to workflows/monthly_property_operating_review.
