How Luxer Liaison Reduced Package Complaints in Apartments for Crossing D.C.

In today’s multifamily communities, package delivery is no longer just a convenience, it’s a critical part of resident satisfaction. For Crossing D.C., a luxury apartment community in Washington, D.C., the challenge was clear: how do you handle more than 9,000 packages a month without overwhelming staff or creating constant resident frustration?

The answer came in the form of Luxer Liaison, an onsite package management solution designed to reduce package complaints in apartments while improving efficiency and the resident experience. This case study explores how Crossing D.C. transformed its package room into a stress-free amenity and eliminated resident complaints in the process.

How Crossing D.C. Reduced Package Complaints in Apartments with Luxer Liaison

The Challenge

Crossing D.C., with its 818 units, quickly became a hub of resident activity, but the high package volume created a daily headache:

  • Cluttered lobbies filled with packages waiting for pickup

 

  • Lost or misplaced deliveries, frustrating residents

 

  • Time-consuming complaints that drained staff resources

 

  • Limited storage space that made package overflow highly visible

 

The property’s management group, Greystar, and ownership group, Tishman Speyer, recognized that the package management system was no longer sustainable. As Georgina, the General Manager at Crossing D.C., put it:

“Luxer Liaison essentially made our package system, when before our package system was essentially failing in the most spectacular way. I used to receive at least five complaints and emails a day with regard to our previous system, as soon as the Luxer Liaison arrived, it was night and day.”

Crossing needed more than just organization. They needed a way to reduce package complaints in apartments and give staff time back to focus on what matters most: leasing and resident care.

The Solution: Luxer Liaison

In early 2024, Crossing D.C. launched Luxer Liaison, an onsite package management program that brought trained package experts directly to the property. Within just one day of implementation, the impact was clear:

  • Oversized packages were delivered directly to resident doors.

 

  • The cluttered lobby was cleared and organized.

 

  • An overwhelmed staff suddenly had support for managing package inquiries.

 

Luxer Liaison didn’t just provide organization, it provided a transformational shift in daily operations. The package experts handled thousands of deliveries, managed hundreds of resident inquiries, and gave staff peace of mind.

 

Key elements of the Luxer Liaison solution included:

  • A dedicated team onsite five days per week

 

  • Full management of package room operations

 

  • Direct resident communication to resolve delivery questions

 

  • Organized package storage to maximize available space
