The 2015 St. Louis Apartment Association Rising Star Awards took place on Friday, April 24th at the Sheraton Westport Chalet. It was a fantastic evening with delicious food and an amazingly talented group of people. The attendance was phenomenal this year, with over 20 management companies represented. While we know Mills can’t win them all, we are so proud of all of our nominees and would like to congratulate our winners (denoted with an underline). Thank you to everyone for your hard work over the last year!
