T2 Capital Management Launches Base Living

T2 Capital Management, a notable player in the private equity real estate sector with over $1.6 billion in assets under management (AUM), has unveiled a new venture called Base Living. This tech-enabled property management company aims to streamline the management of multifamily units and industrial properties within T2's expansive portfolio.

With an initial scope of over 850 multifamily units and a significant 1 million-square-foot industrial property, Base Living is set to expand its services across T2's portfolio, which will also include student housing. This strategic move demonstrates T2's commitment to enhancing property management practices while continuing to leverage their expertise in various real estate sectors.

At the forefront of this new initiative is Tyler Yates, who has been appointed as the Director of Property Management. Yates will oversee the operational and financial aspects of T2’s property portfolio. He leads a dynamic team of 24 employees spread across Illinois, Indiana, and Florida, with the support of T2's corporate team comprising eight members. Reporting to Aaron Tink, the Principal of T2, Yates brings with him over a decade of experience in residential operations, specifically in the realms of multifamily and student housing. His previous role was as Vice President of Central Operations and Asset Management at Kairos Living, where he managed a national portfolio of over 5,000 homes and a robust team of full-time staff and vendors.

Aaron Tink expressed confidence in Yates’s capabilities, stating, "Tyler's deep industry experience and proven track record make him the right leader to drive this venture forward. Base Living brings institutional expertise, technology-enabled execution, and hands-on decision-making to every aspect of property management, strengthening T2’s fully integrated real estate platform from ownership through operations."

Utilizing the Entrata platform as its core property management system, Base Living aims to integrate various operational aspects including leasing, communications, payments, maintenance, accounting, renewals, and reporting. This technology-focused approach is designed to eliminate redundancies and disconnects, providing a seamless experience for residents and property managers alike. Notably, Base Living also employs advanced artificial intelligence solutions that enhance everything from prospect engagement and tour scheduling to maintenance coordination and lease renewals.

Jeff Brown, CEO and Co-Founder of T2 Capital Management, remarked, "At T2, we have always believed that successful real estate ownership requires a deep understanding of the assets and communities we serve. Base Living serves as a direct bridge between our ownership strategy and daily, on-the-ground execution. By leveraging real-time information and promoting company-wide accountability, Base Living enables us to optimize the resident experience while maximizing value creation across our portfolio."

Headquartered at 100 N. Main Street in Wheaton, Illinois, alongside T2’s offices, Base Living is positioned to play a pivotal role in T2's broader property management strategy, ultimately aiming to deliver superior service levels and greater tenant satisfaction.

As T2 Capital Management embraces this innovative direction in property management, the firm’s commitment to quality and efficiency is more prominent than ever. By focusing on technology integration and expert leadership, they are set to redefine expectations within the real estate industry and solidify their position as a leader in asset management.

With a focus on continuous improvement and innovation, Base Living stands as a testament to T2’s evolution as a comprehensive real estate investment firm, ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today’s market.
