ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC. (NYSE: AVB) and Gables Residential announced today that they have entered into a third-party servicing agreement for AvalonBay’s centralized service center to provide comprehensive back-office, financial administrative support services to Gables Residential. Under this agreement, AvalonBay’s Customer Care Center will service the entire Gables Residential portfolio of over 25,000 apartment homes, located in ten states and the District of Columbia, with a complement of functions that include customer service and account inquiry support, billing, delinquency notification, legal and eviction support and payment and security deposit processing.

AvalonBay opened its Customer Care Center, located in Virginia Beach, VA, in 2007 as a separate business unit from residential operations - one of the first centralized service centers in the multi-family industry - to provide enhanced customer service to its residents more effectively and at a lower operating cost. “We are excited to extend our capabilities at our Customer Care Center to support the Gables portfolio, leveraging the investments we have made in our centralized infrastructure, as well as creating a new revenue source for AvalonBay. Over the last 15 years, our Customer Care Center has demonstrated its ability to create efficiencies and deliver excellent customer service that can now benefit others and create more value for AvalonBay,” said Benjamin Schall, CEO of AvalonBay.

Over the last several years, Gables Residential has focused on efforts to centralize administrative functions across its portfolio to maximize efficiencies, enhance value for its investors, and provide excellent service to its customers. “The new centralized service opportunity with AvalonBay’s Customer Care Center furthers Gables’ strategy in which our business model reflects greater customer service demands and those of a changing industry. Gables believes that the AvalonBay Customer Care Center understands and will maintain the level of service we expect to provide to our customers,” shared Sue Ansel, Gables Residential, CEO.

While the AvalonBay Customer Care Center will provide support services to the Gables Residential portfolio, each portfolio, and all business and operational decisions related to each portfolio, will continue to be managed separately.
