Upgrade Multi-Family Grills to Attract Quality Residents

7 minute read | Grills

Multi-family properties that are falling into disrepair are finding it increasingly difficult to attract working families with stable incomes. With nearly a million new multi-family housing projects currently under construction, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council, the competition for quality tenants is fierce. These new developments often come equipped with top-tier amenities, including commercial patio grills placed at the heart of communal spaces.

Given that this is the largest wave of multi-family construction in the past 50 years, landlords and property management companies must consider upgrading their outdoor cooking areas with modern, high-quality gas or propane grills. Fortunately, AEI Corp offers a leading line of commercial patio grills that can help retain residents who might otherwise look for better living environments.

Upgrade to PGS T-Series Commercial Patio Grills

For those still unsure whether a premium natural gas or propane grill can make a difference, consider the growing popularity of these appliances. Over 80% of single-family homeowners in the U.S. own at least one outdoor grill, and 70% of multi-family residents do as well, according to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association. These numbers have risen significantly over the last few years. Here’s why decision-makers should consider the PGS T-Series Grills.

PGS T-Series Aluminum Grills

The T-Series line includes two aluminum models — the T30 and T40. While all internal components are made of stainless steel, the exterior is constructed from heavy-duty cast aluminum designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. This makes them ideal for residential and commercial use.

  • T30: Produces 30,000 BTU with 330 square inches of direct cooking area and one stainless steel side shelf.
  • T40: Offers 40,000 BTU with 434 square inches of cooking space and two stainless steel side shelves.

Both models are available in natural gas and liquid propane versions. Natural gas models are typically fixed in place, while propane models can be cart-mounted. Each model features a one-hour automatic gas shut-off timer to prevent fuel waste and improve safety. These models are commonly used in duplexes, condos, or throughout community spaces.

PGS Stainless Steel T-Series Grills

The larger stainless steel models, such as the S27T, S36T, and S48T, are ideal for creating full outdoor kitchens or gathering spots for families. The convenience of being able to enjoy grilled meals in the fresh air has become a major draw for potential residents.

  • PGS S27T: Features 540 square inches of cooking area, self-cleaning grates, and 45,000 BTU.
  • PGS S36T: Offers 720 square inches of grilling surface, optional warming rack, and 67,000 BTU.
  • PGS S48T: Provides 960 square inches of cooking area and 90,000 BTU for large gatherings.

All models are available in both natural gas and propane versions. Each also includes anti-theft knobs, matchless ignition, laser-etched instructions, heat indicators, and an automatic shut-off timer. These grills come with a 5-year parts warranty and can be installed in prefabricated grill islands.

Mounting Options for T-Series Grills

Choosing the right mounting option depends on your property’s layout and needs. The T30 and T40 models can be mounted on carts for propane use, while natural gas models require permanent installation. They are often mounted on slim pedestal bases to maximize limited outdoor space.

The stainless steel models can also be fueled by propane, though many prefer natural gas for convenience. Natural gas eliminates the need for frequent tank refills, saving time and effort. Prefab grill islands are a popular choice, allowing for quick assembly and ample storage, countertops, and drawers.

Enhanced Safety Features

Safety is a key concern when it comes to multi-family grills. The PGS T-Series was designed with user safety in mind, featuring:

  • Automatic Gas Shut-Off Timer: Powers off after 60 minutes to prevent fuel waste and accidents.
  • Emergency Gas Shutoff: Can be installed to stop gas flow during emergencies.
  • Laser-Etched Instructions: Clear, step-by-step guidance directly on the unit.
  • Lift-Assist Handle: Makes it easier to open and close heavy lids.

These features ensure a safer, more user-friendly experience for all residents. As more people expect fitness centers and landscaped grounds, having high-quality grills can be a key differentiator in attracting desirable tenants.

The PGS T-Series grills are built to last, offering long-term value and a return on investment through improved resident satisfaction and retention. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current setup or add a new feature, these grills are designed to meet the needs of modern multi-family communities.
