Community Spotlight: Historic Muncie

HistoricMuncie

 

Today, we take a look at a truly historic achievement on a legendary building in Muncie, Indiana and turn the spotlight on our Historic Muncie property.

Historic Muncie includes the Canopic building with 24 units, plus nine single-family houses. Two of the nine houses are duplexes. Canopic has one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartment floor plans, as well as efficiency units ranging in square footage from 435 to 1,580. Amenities include a computer room with internet access, 24-Hour maintenance, 10-14 foot ceilings, dishwashers, kitchen bar, hardwood floors, oil-rub bronze hardware, digital climate control and original oak trim.

canopicThe W.W. Shirk Building, also known as the Canopic was built as a commercial and residential structure in 1906. It is a three-story, Italian renaissance revival style, masonry design. The Canopic’s design shows similarities to other apartments or flats constructed at that time in Muncie.

Construction began in December of 2008 and was completed in November of 2009. Income and student restrictions apply. For more information, please stop by our leasing office located at 451 E 2nd Street.

 

Maintenance Mania 2014

Another Indiana Apartment Association Maintenance Mania is in the books!

This year was the 8th annual Maintenance Mania event, where attendees compete in seven skill-based events and a race car competition where the participants make pinewood derby cars out of maintenance materials. These table games are built around common maintenance activities. Some of the time events are standard for MM programs: Water Heater Installation, Faucet Installation, Flush Toilet Conversion, Icemaker Installation and a Deadbolt Test. For more information, check out http://www.iaaonline.net/sections/mania.php.

In addition, Maintenance Mania includes a series of seminars to promote different topics of interest in the field.

During the competition, Flaherty & Collins brought 41 of our maintenance staff to compete in the timed events – the largest (and loudest!) group at the event.

As always, racing the cars was one of the highlights of the day.

Flaherty & Collins Honored for Service

Boys and Girls ClubHere at Flaherty & Collins, we take great pride in giving back to the community in a variety of different ways. Our team also makes the different events we do throughout the year a lot of fun. Which is why we were honored last month when F&C was named as the Indiana Area Council of Boys and Girls Clubs Outstanding Community Service Award winner for this year.

With nearly 40 Boys & Girls Clubs in Indiana, Flaherty & Collins was selected from several nominees state wide. The council chose to honor F&C for specific efforts at the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville, where for the past two years, employees have organized and executed a volunteer day designed to address specific needs of the Club.

In 2013, 16 employees volunteered over 120 hours of service. These volunteer days helped the Club to complete projects that may have never been addressed. We are honored for this recognition and look forward to what 2014 has in store!
