DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
UDR, Inc. (NYSE: UDR), a leading multifamily real estate investment

application for the Apple iPad. Available as a free download from the Apple
App Store, the new application allows users to take advantage of a

applications the iPad application provides users with the ability to:
-
Check real time apartment pricing
-
View a wide array of apartment photos, amenities and floor plans
-
View the availability of apartments for rent
-
Reserve and place on hold an apartment anytime and anyplace
-
View GPS mapping and driving directions to any UDR apartment community
UDR’s new app takes full advantage of the iPad’s large screen. For
convenient navigation the left-side of the screen lists the locations
where UDR operates properties while the right-side displays specific
information about each apartment community.
"Our iPad apartment locator application isn't just about launching
another apartment search application, it's about offering a superb user
experience,” Steve Taraborelli, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
for UDR. “We are excited to be able to offer such a comprehensive
apartment search application for the iPad as it represents the next step

search applications for iPhone, Blackberry, Palm Pre and Google Android
