TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Valet Living, the only nationally recognized full-service amenities provider to the multifamily housing industry, announces its further expansion into the student housing market. This school year, residents of Retreat East, a student housing community servicing students at the University of Central Florida, will experience the luxury of convenience.

We know that things come up and your residents can’t always be there for their furry loved ones, so let us become their pets’ next best friend. Our trained pet caregivers can meet your residents’ dog or cat and give him or her one or two tail-waggin’ visits or walks a day.

Valet Living Connect provides your residents with a full suite of virtual offerings of over 75 virtual events and fitness classes each month, and offers ways for them to interact with their nightly waste collection all through the Valet Living Home app. It’s all available to your residents with no new work for your onsite team!

Valet Living Doorstep’s waste and recycling collection service increases property value and adds an invaluable, time-saving amenity for residents and staff at every multifamily community. Paired with Valet Living Home, your residents receive access to concierge services like home cleaning, pet walking and more!

Retreat East residents will receive nightly doorstep trash and recycling pickup through Valet Living Doorstep and the ability to schedule on-demand pet care and home cleans, with a range of options to have their bedroom, bathroom, living room and/or kitchen cleaned.

"Valet Living prides itself on being at the forefront of the multifamily amenity space. Expanding our Valet Living Home amenity services in the student housing market will change the game in student living," said Valet Living President and CEO Shawn Handrahan. "We look forward to continuing to service student housing communities under the leadership of Harley MacDonald and offering our services to many more student housing communities in the future."

Harley MacDonald will serve as national director of student housing sales. In this role, he will be responsible for leading the company's U.S. student housing platform, including client relationships, sales strategy, expansion and services growth in numerous markets.

"Valet Living's penetration of student housing is a natural step given its impressive client roster and sheer number of serviced communities,'' said MacDonald. "I'm looking forward to leveraging my experience in the student housing space to bring students across the country offerings that will truly bring a new layer of convenience to their busy lifestyles, balancing work, jobs and social events."

Valet Living currently services 1.7 million homes a night, and 20,000 of those are student housing. To celebrate this kickoff, Retreat East residents receive $20 in free amenity credit when they download the Valet Living Home app.
