What This Means for Your Building
A Real Revenue Driver
Buildings with micro-markets command an average rent premium of $53/month per unit and see a 5-9% increase in overall revenue from adding convenient amenities, according to Greystar's 2024 survey of 90,368 renters. For a 200-unit building, that is $127,200 per year in additional NOI — and a $2.1 million increase in property valuation at a 6% cap rate.
Residents Stay Longer
Onsite retail ranks as a Top 5 amenity in multifamily, and 47% of renters say they want a convenience shop in their building. With 52% of renters still working from home multiple days a week, a grab-and-go market in the lobby is not a nice-to-have — it is something residents use daily. That translates directly to higher retention and fewer turnover costs.
Stand Out From Competing Properties
Most buildings in San Diego still have a dusty vending machine in the corner — or nothing at all. Upgrading to a modern micro-market is a visible, tangible differentiator that prospects notice immediately during tours.
Zero Cost to Your Property
Equipment, installation, products, stocking, maintenance, and monitoring are all included. There is no monthly fee, no revenue share, and no hidden cost. Anderson Amenities makes money on the products sold — our success depends on your residents loving it.

Proven at Thousands of Locations
Modern Amenities markets are operating in thousands of buildings across the country — luxury high-rises, Class A offices, corporate campuses, and more. Property managers who upgraded from traditional vending never go back.
“Honestly, I was skeptical — we had a vending machine that nobody touched. But residents actually use the market every day. I get comments about it on tours now, which never happened with the old setup. And I have not had to deal with a single maintenance issue.”
— Rachel Dominguez, Property Manager
“I used to drive to the store every time I wanted a decent lunch. Now I just take the elevator down and grab something. I go almost every day.”
— Kevin, Resident
Common Questions
How does this benefit my building financially?
Buildings with micro-markets see an average rent premium of $53/month per unit and a 5-9% revenue increase from adding convenient amenities (2024 Greystar Survey). For a 200-unit building, that is $127,200/year in additional NOI. Beyond rent, residents who use the market regularly are stickier — they renew at higher rates, which cuts your turnover and vacancy costs.
What does this cost my property?
Zero. Equipment, installation, products, stocking, and all ongoing maintenance are included. There is no monthly fee and no hidden charges. Revenue comes from the products sold, so the incentive is always to make sure your residents love using the market.
How much space do you need?
Less than you would think. The smallest setups fit in about a 3-by-3-foot area with a standard power outlet. Larger hotel-style markets are also available for buildings that want a bigger presence. The best fit is determined during your free site visit.
What kinds of products do you stock?
Fresh meals, sandwiches, salads, snacks, beverages, coffee, energy drinks, and more. Premium healthy options are always available — high-protein, gluten-free, vegan, and low-sugar items. The product mix is customized based on what your residents actually buy, and it adjusts over time.
How do residents pay?
Tap to unlock, grab what you want, and go. The market accepts Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and all major credit and debit cards. No cash, no coins, no keypads. It is a completely modern, frictionless experience.
What if our residents don't use it?
There is a 30-day risk-free trial. If the market doesn't work for your building, it gets removed at no cost to you. No questions asked. But honestly, once residents discover they can grab a fresh sandwich or cold drink without leaving the building, usage is rarely the problem.
Who handles stocking and maintenance?
We do — all of it. Our team monitors inventory in real time, restocks with fresh products, and handles all cleaning and maintenance. Your staff never has to touch it.
We already have vending machines. Why upgrade?
Traditional vending and modern micro-markets are completely different experiences. Our markets are open-shelf, cashless, stocked with fresh and healthy options, and monitored so they are never empty or broken. Think of it as upgrading from a vending machine to something your residents will actually use and talk about.
How do I get started?
Fill out the form above and we'll schedule a free 15-minute site visit, walk your building together, and show you exactly where the market would go and what it would look like. There's no commitment until you say yes — and setup takes just 2-3 weeks from approval.
