It’s Day 15 of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! Today, we’re celebrating Norden Range Apartments in Oconomowoc and its nominations for New Construction, Best Model, Best Curb Appeal, Innovative Marketing, Outstanding Amenities, and Property Excellence (Over 150 Units).

Norden Range is a 385,728-square-foot best-in-class community made up of 18 residential buildings, intentionally designed to feel less like an apartment complex and more like a neighborhood where residents can truly feel at home. Its Scandinavian-inspired design blends warm natural materials, oversized windows, biophilic elements, and thoughtful indoor-outdoor connections, while also paying tribute to the site’s history as the former Olympia Ski Hill.

The community’s resort-inspired amenities make an equally strong impression, including a 25-yard pool, high-end clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness center, private balconies, turf dog park, walk path connectivity, and playground.

From its thoughtful design and distinctive identity to the intentional sense of community woven throughout the property, Norden Range offers a unique living experience in Oconomowoc.

Congrats on the nominations, Norden Range!

Day 14 of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! We’re continuing the spotlight with Martinique “Mardi” Keys, nominated for Assistant Manager of the Year.

Mardi has become an essential part of The North End team, bringing energy, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to prospects and residents across the community’s five buildings. In 2025, she stepped into an even greater leadership role after being promoted to Assistant Community Manager, helping guide the property through a significant period of transition.

During that time, Mardi played a key role in supporting day-to-day operations, helping onboard a new Community Manager, and serving as a trusted resource for her team. At the same time, she continued to play an important role in leasing, demonstrating her ability to balance expanded leadership responsibilities while continuing to support the community’s leasing efforts.

Beyond her day-to-day responsibilities, Mardi brings creativity and enthusiasm to the resident experience, from supporting community events to finding new ways to make the leasing and move-in experience feel special. She is also active in the property management industry through her involvement with IREM.

Congrats on the nomination, Mardi!

Day 13 of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Luiz Bonilla, nominated for Leasing Consultant of the Year.

Luiz’s Mandel Group story started before he even became an associate. After discovering Mandel Group, he made the bold decision to move to Milwaukee with the goal of building a career with the company. Since joining Crescent and Echelon Apartments in 2024, he has continued to bring that same determination, initiative, and work ethic to everything he does.

Supporting two communities, Luiz has quickly become a dependable and valued member of both teams. While leasing is his primary role, he consistently steps in wherever needed, from supporting onsite operations to helping the maintenance team and his fellow associates. His team-first approach and willingness to take on whatever challenge comes his way have made a meaningful impact on his communities.

That commitment was especially evident following a major storm last summer that caused significant issues with Echelon’s fire panel systems. Luiz remained onsite for hours to assist the team and contractors and even volunteered for overnight fire watch duties to help ensure residents remained safe. It was a moment that demonstrated the care, accountability, and dedication he brings to his role every day.

Congrats on the nomination, Luiz!

Happy Monday! It's day 12 of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! Today we’re proud to recognize Lexie Lagunero for her nomination for On-Site Manager of the Year (Under 150 Units).

Since joining Mandel Group in 2022 as a Leasing Professional, Lexie has continued to grow through hard work, initiative, and a commitment to learning. After participating in Mandel Group’s inaugural Leasing to Leadership Program, she advanced into leadership as an Assistant Community Manager at Crescent and Echelon, before stepping into the Community Manager role at BridgeWalk Apartments in 2025.

When Lexie took on her manager role at BridgeWalk, she embraced the opportunity to lead a new community, team, and resident base. Through thoughtful communication, resident engagement, and a collaborative leadership style, she has helped create a welcoming and connected community for residents and a supportive environment for her team.

Her leadership and dedication were also recognized earlier this year when she received Mandel Group’s “Assistant Manager of the Year” award at our annual Summit, honoring her outstanding contributions while balancing responsibilities across Crescent, Echelon, and BridgeWalk simultaneously.

Kent has also continued to grow his impact beyond the leasing office, embracing a variety of platforms and tools to strengthen the prospect and resident experience. His willingness to learn new technology, adapt to evolving processes, and find ways to use these resources effectively reflects his ability to continually grow and bring new ideas to his role.

Beyond his community, Kent has become a trusted resource across Mandel Group, frequently providing feedback on new programs and initiatives. His attention to detail, willingness to test new ideas, and thoughtful perspective have made him a valued voice within the organization.

Day 9 of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! Today we celebrate Jared Jenkins for his nomination of On-Site Manager of the Year (Over 150 Units).

Jared’s Mandel Group journey began in 2018 as a Leasing Consultant at East Pointe Commons, and over the past eight years, he has steadily grown through multiple leadership roles, ultimately becoming Community Manager of the 188-unit community. Under his leadership, East Pointe consistently ranked among the top 1% nationally for Online Reputation Assessment (ORA) scores, including once again in 2025. His focus on resident relationships, communication, and service helped the community maintain that distinction throughout his tenure.

At the end of 2025, Jared took the next step in his career, transitioning to Senior Community Manager at The North End, Mandel’s 649-unit flagship community in the heart of Milwaukee. Stepping into one of the company’s largest and most complex communities, Jared has brought the same people-first leadership and operational expertise that defined his success at East Pointe to a new scale.

From starting his career as a Leasing Consultant to now leading one of Mandel Group’s most prominent communities, Jared’s growth is a testament to his dedication, leadership, and ability to consistently rise to the occasion. His career reflects not only his own success, but also the impact he has had on the residents, teams, and communities he has led along the way.

Congrats on the nomination, Jared!

Day 8 of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! Today we’re proud to recognize Jake Haushalter for his nomination of On-Site Manager of the Year (Under 150 Units).

Since joining Mandel Group in 2021, Jake has continued to grow as a leader, most recently stepping into the Community Manager role in March 2025. His impressive growth reflects his work ethic, adaptability, and commitment to becoming the best leader he can be. Earlier this year, Jake’s exceptional leadership was recognized when he was named Mandel Group’s Community Manager of the Year at the company’s annual Summit, a distinction that reflects the significant impact he made throughout 2025.

Over the past year, Jake has successfully guided his community through a number of operational challenges, including periods of short staffing where he stepped in to take on leasing responsibilities while continuing to lead the property. Through it all, he has remained focused on both operational success and creating a positive resident experience. From proactively following up with residents to supporting teammates and mentoring newer associates, Jake consistently looks for ways to make a difference and help those around him succeed.

Happy Monday! Let’s kick off the week, and day 7, of highlighting our deserving TOBY Awards nominees! Today we spotlight Hackney House in Oconomowoc, nominated for both Best Model and Best Curb Appeal.

Hackney House stands out in Lake Country not only for its upscale finishes, but for the intentional way the community was designed to feel like a true neighborhood. Spread across 34 acres, the property offers a mix of two-story buildings, townhomes, and detached garages connected by winding streets, open green spaces, and walking paths - creating a layout that’s both approachable and residential in character.

Every apartment at Hackney House features a private, ground-level entrance, blending the ease of single-family living with the convenience of a rental community. The modern farmhouse-inspired architecture, complete with board and batten siding, stone details, black window frames, and standing seam metal accents, gives the community a warm, welcoming personality that feels right at home in Oconomowoc.

Its location within the Pabst Farms master-planned development offers residents seamless access to shops, services, parks, and trails, while Hackney House’s spacious event lawn and central green space create natural gathering spots that foster a sense of community.

Congrats on the nomination, Hackney House!

Residents enjoy modern apartment homes with upscale finishes, a 60’ lap pool, fitness center, pet park, and gathering spaces rich with character. Echelon’s leasing and maintenance teams uphold a service-first philosophy, pairing top-tier operations with a deep respect for the community’s history and surroundings.

This thoughtful balance of historic preservation, natural beauty, and contemporary living makes Echelon at Innovation Campus a standout in its category.
