Steve Small, Executive Vice President, AMLI Residential

Does revenue management work?  Steve Small of AMLI says yes.  At the 2008 AIM Conference, AMLI Executive Vice President Steve Small presented a case study of the impact of revenue management on  AMLI’s NOI growth performance relative to its REIT peers.  (Data was taken prior to the company’s purchase by Morgan Stanley.)

• According to a Wachovia Securities study performed annually, in 2000 AMLI ranked ninth among its peers in revenue growth.  After implementing revenue management and other optimization techniques it ranked first in the REIT peer group from 2003 until the company went private in 2006.

• At the same conference, Small presented a 2006-2007 analysis of AMLI’s NOI growth by market relative to the NCREIF index.   AMLI outperformed the NCREIF index in every one of its markets by 30 to 105 basis points of NOI growth during the period of the second quarter of 2006 through the first quarter of 2007.  AMLI’s markets were:  Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Florida, Houston, Kansas, New Jersey, Seattle and Southern California.
