BMW Management

What BMW Management does

BMW Management Company, LLC, doing business as Luxury Apts WNY, is a privately-held residential property management firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Williamsville, New York. The company operates a portfolio of five luxury apartment communities across the Buffalo metropolitan area — Windsong Place, Autumn Creek, Renaissance Place, and StoneGate Apartment Homes in the suburban Williamsville/Clarence/East Amherst corridor, plus the 242-unit Trico Building Apartments in downtown Buffalo, which opened in 2024 as a $112M historic redevelopment of the 1920s-era Trico Plant No. 1. The portfolio collectively exceeds 1,000 units across 27+ apartment, loft, and townhome styles, with rents ranging from approximately $1,537 to over $1,872 per month.

Operations are managed through the Entrata property management platform, which supports online leasing, applications, resident portals, and self-guided tour scheduling. Select properties feature a SmartHome Technology Package (smart locks, smart lights, smart thermostats, smart package room, 500GB managed WiFi) and an Ultimate Technology Package bundling high-speed internet (up to 300 Mbps) with 200+ channel digital cable and streaming services. The company partners with Valet Living for doorstep valet trash and recycling pickup five nights per week across the portfolio.

The business model is primarily subscription-recurring rental income from month-to-month residential leases, augmented by ancillary fee streams (pet fees, parking fees, $92/month technology packages), plus a smaller corporate housing and furnished-apartment service line that targets relocating employees and business travelers with flexible three-month minimum leases. The customer base is split between individual residential tenants — families and professionals seeking top-rated Williamsville School District proximity — and corporate clients requiring temporary furnished housing. The company is led by founder and president Benjamin Wetchler, has 11-50 employees, and carries consistent industry recognition including repeated J Turner Research Elite 1% ORA Power Rankings, a Top 100 Management Company designation from ApartmentRatings & SatisFacts (#32, January 2023), and the 2025 Golden Brick Award for the Trico redevelopment.
