Apartment / HOAs / Commercial LRO

Program overview — Amwins Underwriting: Apartment / HOAs / Commercial LRO

For more than 20 years, SPFM (an Amwins company) has delivered creative package insurance solutions for owners and managers of commercial and residential real estate. The Specialty Insurance Advantage (SIA) program through Amwins Underwriting targets apartments, homeowners associations (HOAs), mixed-use properties and commercial lessor’s risk-only (LRO) accounts. Underwriting is handled by an experienced team familiar with the exposures and loss drivers common to multi-tenant residential and mixed-use portfolios.

Ideal accounts and appetite

  • Any size account located in AZ, CA, NV, OR, UT and WA
  • Apartment communities, HOA portfolios, mixed-use buildings and commercial LROs
  • Small to mid-sized portfolios where flexible, subjective underwriting and tailored pricing are needed

Coverage highlights

The SIA program provides broad package coverages designed for property owners and managers, including:

  • Property — blanket limits available for multi-location exposures
  • General liability — primary GL coverage with occurrence-based limits
  • Premises environmental liability — designed for pollution exposures tied to premises operations

Limits

  • $500,000,000 blanket limits for property, per occurrence with no annual aggregate
  • $1,000,000 / $2,000,000 per occurrence, per location in the aggregate for general liability
  • $250,000 per loss per location / $250,000 aggregate per location with a $25,000,000 program aggregate for premises environmental liability

Underwriting strengths and differentiators

Amwins Underwriting’s SPFM team combines program-level capacity with hands-on, subjective underwriting. That means you can expect:

  • Case-by-case flexibility on pricing and terms for small and mid-size risks
  • A focus on broad coverages while adapting underwriting to client-specific risk controls
  • Capacity to bind multi-location blanket property limits suitable for owners with multiple buildings

Requirements and common declinations

  • Five-year loss history — acceptable average loss frequency is generally 50% or less
  • Risks with recent or frequent water damage claims will require additional underwriting review
  • Supplemental application is required

How agents can use this program

Use this program when you need broad, package-style coverage for apartment communities, HOAs or mixed-use properties where a tailored, subjective underwriting approach improves placement odds. Typical examples:

  • You have an owner of several small garden-style apartment complexes in California looking for a single blanket property program and consolidated GL limits.
  • An HOA management company needs combined property/GL/premises environmental coverage for a portfolio of mixed-age condo associations across Washington and Oregon.

Territory and availability

The program writes business in AZ, CA, NV, OR, UT and WA. Submission and eligibility should account for state-specific exposures and local loss trends when you prepare the file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of accounts are a good fit for the Apartment / HOAs / Commercial LRO program?

Accounts that fit well include apartment buildings, HOAs, mixed-use properties and commercial lessor’s risk-only portfolios located in AZ, CA, NV, OR, UT and WA—especially small to mid-sized portfolios that benefit from subjective underwriting and consolidated blanket property limits.

What submission information should I include to speed underwriting?

Provide a five-year loss run, details on recent water damage or moisture-related claims, occupancy and construction info for each location, and the completed supplemental application. Clear documentation of risk control and loss mitigation helps secure favorable terms.

How does the program handle water damage or frequent water claims?

Risks with water damage claims are subject to enhanced underwriting review. Depending on frequency and cause, the underwriter may request remediation plans, improved controls, or impose terms/exclusions.

Is a supplemental application required?

Yes. The program requires a supplemental application as part of the submission package.

Can I place multi-location blanket property limits through this program?

Yes. The program offers substantial blanket property limits (up to $500,000,000 per occurrence) to support owners with multiple insured locations within the eligible states.
