General Manager’s Secret Weapon for Elevated Living

Must have amenity for this General Manager

Managed by Brookfield Properties Multifamily, Līlia Waikīkī is a picturesque 28-story tower housing over 400 residences. It provides a modern living experience that seamlessly combines elegance and comfort while serving as a sanctuary for residents and visitors to connect with the vibrant neighborhood and culture of Waikīkī. The General Manager, Emma Toy, has been a dedicated advocate for the innovative printing solution, PrintWithMe, since its introduction in 2014.

Impressed by its efficiency and time-saving capabilities, Emma has brought PrintWithMe to every property she's managed. “Ever since, every property I go to, I look for PrintWithMe, and I incorporate it into those properties.”
