ATLANTA, Sept. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS) ("PAC" or the "Company") today announced that in the wake of Hurricane Irma, we are pleased to report that none of our assets owned in Florida and Georgia have suffered significant property damage or flooding.
At this time, we do not expect the storm's damage to have a meaningful impact on our results or performance. The condition of our investments and the timely delivery of information is a tremendous credit to our on-site staff and management personnel who have worked so tirelessly in the last week to prepare us for Irma's arrival. The youth of our portfolio and the quality of construction of our assets has certainly been a key factor in weathering this storm. PAC's Chief Executive Officer John A. Williams said, "I am proud of all the people in our Company who have worked so hard and gone above and beyond the call of duty. We are lucky to have them as a part of our team."
In addition to the work being done as a result of Irma, we are working quickly to repair the damage done by Hurricane Harvey to our asset, Stone Creek, in Port Arthur, outside of Houston. Stone Creek had flooding in the first floor units and clubhouse from Hurricane Harvey two weeks ago. Our management team had remediation teams in the units at Stone Creek within 48 hours to begin the process of getting our affected units back on line. Stone Creek was a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program and we believe all of the damage done by the storm will be covered by our insurance policies.
