Associations & Single-Family Homeowners Consider Stainless Steel BBQ Grill Availability Part of the American Dream

Condo Associations and Homeowners See Stainless Steel BBQ Grills as Key to the American Dream

5 minute read | Grills

Residents of condominium associations and gated apartment communities deserve a strong voice in the services, amenities, and perks they receive for their rent and association fees. One of the main reasons you chose to live in these communities was the promise of an exceptional quality of life. When developments fail to provide this experience, residents often feel compelled to buy a single-family home and create their own "American Dream."

In recent years, the leisure features that initially drew people to associations—such as fitness centers, pools, and common areas—have become standard. Now, members of residential living associations are pushing for additional perks to enjoy the conveniences of owning a single-family home without the upkeep. One standout request surfacing in association meetings is the installation of a stainless steel BBQ grill.

Given the substantial investment in maintaining and improving the neighborhood, opting for a commercial-grade grill is not just a smart financial decision—it’s also a key to enhancing the overall quality of life. Developers and board members should seriously consider investing in top-tier outdoor grills to attract families looking for a better lifestyle.

Smart Developers Choose Commercial Grills for Apartment Rentals

Developers analyzing rental trends for single-family apartments notice that the demand for extra amenities is rising. Over the past five years, the number of U.S. renters has grown by roughly 1 million, while the population has surged by 10 million. At the same time, single-family home buyers are taking advantage of historically low-interest rates. To stay competitive, developers are incorporating features like gas BBQ grills to mimic the experience of homeownership and appeal to families who might otherwise opt for a starter home.

A commercial-grade patio barbecue is a powerful symbol of family togetherness and relaxation. Developers can capitalize on this trend by choosing leading brands like PGS. The A-Series residential grill is a popular choice among developers and associations due to its flexibility. Owners can choose pedestal mounting, built-in installation, or a portable cart—all while enjoying impressive cooking performance. The A-Series offers models with 30,000 or 40,000 BTUs, making it ideal for both individual and shared spaces.

The commercial-grade T-Series grill is designed for fixed installations, offering more than 400 square inches of cooking space and a robust 40,000 BTUs. Its safety features, including a one-hour gas flow shutoff timer, make it a favorite among associations. Developers often install multiple T-Series grills in convenient locations throughout the community.

The Legacy Series takes outdoor grilling to the next level with customizable options. With cooking areas ranging from 540 to 960 square inches and BTU outputs exceeding 45,000, the Legacy Series can transform any outdoor space into a professional-grade kitchen. Optional add-ons like side burners, beverage coolers, and storage drawers further enhance the experience, making it perfect for upscale apartments, condos, and gated communities.

Homeowners Embrace Commercial Grills for Enhanced Living

While apartment complexes and condo associations may not see a significant increase in family rentals, the demand for single-family homes remains strong. Last year, existing home sales topped 5 million for the fifth consecutive year, and new construction is expected to reach nearly 800,000 units in 2020. For many homeowners, the appeal of a commercial-grade patio barbecue outweighs the occasional yard work. These high-quality grills are becoming a sought-after perk in both residential and commercial settings.

PGS grills are renowned for their durability and performance, thanks to materials like stainless steel and hard aluminum casting. Their residential models offer the same quality as their commercial counterparts, ensuring consistent heat distribution and long-lasting performance. Features like stainless steel h-burners, self-contained ignition systems, and even-heat disbursement make PGS grills stand out.

  • Stainless Steel H-Burners
  • Stainless Steel Warming Racks
  • Self-Contained Matchless Ignition
  • Side Shelves Available
  • Even-Heat Disbursement
  • Liquid Propane & Natural Gas Options

Selecting the right fuel source is crucial when choosing a PGS commercial grill. Both the A-Series and T-Series offer models compatible with liquid propane tanks or natural gas lines, but portable grills require propane tanks. Homeowners planning to move their grill frequently should consider a cart-mounted model. Both liquid propane and natural gas are eco-friendly and cost-effective fuel options.

  • Cart Mounted: The A-Series and T-Series offer models with built-in liquid propane tanks housed within a moveable cart. The two-wheel design allows easy movement around the patio for maximum flexibility.
  • Pedestal Mounting: Both series provide pedestal options, one wide enough to house a propane tank and the other slim for permanent natural gas connections.
  • Built-In: Each series can be integrated into countertops to create an outdoor kitchen centerpiece. The Legacy series excels in this category, with customizable options like side burners, beverage coolers, drawers, and infrared rotisseries. These high-end grills are ideal for creating a luxurious outdoor living space.

As developers and associations strive to meet consumer expectations, they must either deliver on the American Dream or risk losing potential buyers to single-family homes. Whether in a condo complex or a private backyard, grill enthusiasts love the satisfaction of preparing delicious meals for loved ones. Proudly made in the USA, PGS Grills continue to lead the way in residential and commercial grill solutions.
