The two-day event kicked off with a team building workshop led by the team building and culture experts at Firefly Team Building Events.

“Jenna from Firefly led our teams through a number of hilarious, interactive activities that really helped our team members to connect and fully unwind. Beginning the conference this way allowed our teams to come together and build a sense of camaraderie, and this set the perfect tone for the two-day event,” said Vice President Matt Miller of the experience.

This year’s leadership conference featured nationally-recognized speaker, Jones Loflin who led a session on Growing Through Change with “Six Buzzworthy Strategies to Thrive.”

“Jones’ sessions brought such valuable insights into leadership, communication and team dynamics. Every point resonated, and I walked away with fresh ideas to implement,” said President, Kathy Scott. “Jones’ exuberant energy and enthusiasm for professional development and team building are contagious. Our team members shared that they felt invigorated and inspired by his straightforward strategies and fun approach.”

Signature Management Corp.’s newest luxury apartment community, Artistry on Greenwich, is currently under construction on Greenwich Road in Virginia Beach and is scheduled to begin leasing in the Fall of 2025.

Artistry on Greenwich is the collaborative effort of the same development team that produced Signature Management’s communities in Virginia Beach, The Pearl at Marina Shores and Society at Crossroads, including KBS Construction, Poole & Poole Architecture, Timmons and Associates and CID Design Group.

Located at the intersection of Virginia Beach and Norfolk, VA, Artistry on Greenwich’s walkable location will be positioned nearest to Witchduck Road and Virginia Beach’s Town Center, as well as both I-264 and I-64. This area of Hampton Roads serves as an intersection to multiple cities across our region, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Chesapeake.

 Artistry on Greenwich sits on the location of The Virginian Pilot’s former production plant – a mainstay of regional journalism and publishing for the last hundred and twenty-five years. Artistry on Greenwich’s architecture and design were influenced by the history of its location with a focus on urban luxury, burgeoning art, innovative technology and multi-functional, shared living spaces.

Featuring 315 of the area’s most upscale 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, Artistry on Greenwich’s design includes innovative style and amenities, including a resort-inspired pool area, a variety of individual and group co-working spaces, pet-friendly amenities, spacious fitness and spin center, electric car charging stations and more. Designed with bright, open floorplans and sleek, modern finishes, Artistry on Greenwich will provide residents with a combination of style, innovation and comfort at home.

Whether it’s preparing a budget, setting up utilities, hiring movers and finding care on moving day for pets and young kids, it’s important to plan ahead to avoid last minute chaos and headaches during your move.

Here are 10 simple hacks to help you make this your most stress-free move yet!

Transfer/Set Up Utilities
Before you begin, transfer and set up utilities as needed, ahead of your moving day. You won’t want to show up on day one and discover you have no water, and having internet access available to you will be key in your first few days in your new home.

Set a Budget
We know that moving is expensive, but with a clear plan and a solid budget, it doesn’t have to break your bank account or your back. Set a budget to make it easier to hire movers, choose packing supplies and find child and pet care for your loved ones on the day of your move. Once you know what you’re working with, you can make good choices to support a smooth move.

Hire Movers
Price out movers, and hire an affordable team with a good reputation. Hiring movers will not only speed up your moving day process, but it will ensure that your belongings are moved efficiently and with care. Moving is one of the most stressful events in a person’s life, and having a team of experienced professionals helping you do it will make all the difference.

Donate/Sell/Throw Away
Before you plan to pack your first box, go through your home and purge the items you don’t wish to take with you. Donate, sell or throw away items that no longer fit, work or serve you. You’ll go into the packing process feeling a lot lighter, and you’ll save some time and money on packing, while you’re at it.

Plan Packing Supplies
Take an inventory of your belongings, and plan out supplies you’ll need to get started. Consider how many wardrobe boxes you’ll need to move clothes on hangers, and how many boxes or suitcases you already own. Take stock of kitchen items and other breakables, and be sure to choose boxes in multiples sizes to accommodate items of varying weight.

Moving Day Essentials
Pack a cooler with cold drinks and snacks, a small suitcase with change of clothes, clean towels, sheets and toiletries and a box of necessary kitchen items that you can unpack at the end of the long day. You’ll want to make sure you keep important documents and anything valuable with you as you move, and you’ll want to ensure that you have the basics in hand at the end of the day, so you can kick back and relax in your new home.

Important Documents
Before you begin packing away your home, gather up all important and necessary documents and store them in an easy to get to container or box that you can keep with you on moving day.

Towels and Linens for the Win
Rather than pack boxes full of soft, fluffy towels and linens, put those items to good use as packing materials and save money and space. Layer towels between breakable items, picture frames, or small paintings. Wrap thick sheets around artwork, lamps and vases. You can use socks and dish towels to wrap and pack sharp kitchen utensils, as well.

Label & Photograph Your Box Contents
You’ll make your unpacking process both faster and easier on the other side, if you make sure to clearly label boxes and snap pictures of the contents of important boxes. If you’ve hired movers and want to make sure boxes end up in the right rooms, label boxes with color coding that corresponds to rooms in your new apartment. While getting the boxes out and into your new home is important, that unpacking process awaits. Make your life easier by staying organized and prepared.

Pets and Kids
Moving day will be busy and long, no matter how efficient your movers are. Plan to have your pets and/or your kids taken care of and out of the way so that you and your movers can get down to business without worries. Some pets have a hard time transitioning into a new home, and it may be helpful to bring their beds and toys into the apartment right away to give them familiarity when they arrive. Young kids can have a hard time adjusting, as well. Be sure to have their favorite toys, blankets and comfort items available to them on that first night in your new home.

Signature Management Corp is proud to be recognized for their commitment to developing and maintaining pristine properties, hiring outstanding talent, and offering second-to-none customer service.

Signature Management Corporation is a company founded with a passion for people and service, and celebrating our residents is not only what we do-it’s an important part of who we are. 

During Resident Appreciation Week, we make it our mission to take extra time to thank our residents for choosing to come home to our communities and for trusting our on-site teams to give them the absolute best in truly maintenance-free care.

In showing our appreciation for our residents in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, York County and Williamsburg, our property management teams have planned a week filled with fun events and creative ways of showing how much we care. From handing out complimentary breakfast-on-the-go in the parking lot before work and serving piping hot pizza after, to setting up indulgent s’mores and hot cocoa bars to sweeten the deal, we’ve put our hearts planning a week of surprises and delights.

Our residents are our “why” and our reason for doing what we do, and we appreciate them 365 days a year. During Resident Appreciation Week, we’d like to take this time to extend our heartfelt gratitude for every resident, past, present and future, and let you know how much we appreciate you.

Signature Management is proud to acknowledge and recognize its founder and leader, Mr. Richard Waitzer, along with his wife, Leah Waitzer, for receiving the 2018 Outstanding Philanthropist at the National Philanthropy Day Awards. 

Mr. Waitzer started Signature Management Corporation in 1966 with leadership, responsibility and service at the heart of the company’s core values. Through his enduring philanthropic contributions to organizations like the Virginia Symphony, Chrysler Museum of Art, Eastern Virginia Medical School, the Elizabeth River Project, United Way South Hampton Roads, For Kids, Hope House Foundation and many more charitable causes in our region, Mr. Waitzer was able to bring his commitment to his community to life. He shared this same commitment through his leadership in Signature Management’s many businesses and development projects through company-sponsored service projects. 

Mr. Waitzer was the embodiment of responsibility in his leadership style, working without pretense and with great care for more than 60 years. He was awarded the 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award for his enormous contributions to our industry and for the example he consistently set in his professional pursuits and management style. 

“Working with my father meant working with a man who would always meet you right where you were, while leading you toward excellence and achieving your highest goals,” Brad Waitzer, President of Signature Management, said. “He believed most strongly in serving his residents, his employees and his community, and he felt strongly that our company’s success was directly linked to the success of its people and the betterment of the community’s it served. His professional and personal life truly is an enduring legacy of genuine responsibility, and we have modeled our company’s core value directly from the example he set for each of us over his many decades in business.” 

Mr. Richard Waitzer has set the bar high both in his community and within our industry, and we are grateful for his many contributions and for his legacy that will certainly live on through our company values.

The Pearl is a development project that brings together Signature Management’s commitment to both excellence and responsibility in every stage of development, design, construction and, ultimately, management. Named for the well-known Lynnhaven Oyster and its historical significance in Virginia Beach, VA, The Pearl will be a luxury, waterfront apartment community with a cause–preserving the wetlands and the shoreline that support the growth and resurgence of the Lynnhaven Oyster.

Featuring 199 of the area’s most upscale 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, The Pearl’s long list of amenities include a community zen garden, state of the art fitness and yoga studio with fitness on demand, stunning, resort-style pool, private storage and garage units, electric car charging stations and a long list of pet friendly amenities, including pet treats and personal pet washing stations. 

The Pearl’s gorgeous, waterfront location makes it easy for residents to enjoy its kayak launch and serene outdoor living spaces, and residents with pets can celebrate washing sand from their pup’s feet after long walks or jogs on the bay. Designed with open floor plans and Coastal Carolina color palettes and design elements, The Pearl’s apartments will pay homage to the community’s historic location while satisfying the modern needs of its contemporary residents.
