Key Takeaways

  • 1,866 units will deliver in 2022
  • Over the past two years, absorption has outpaced new construction deliveries

Summary

If the current trend of leasing more apartments than deliveries continues, a new wave of multifamily construction will likely be necessary to accommodate future demand. Monthly rental rates steadily increased quarter-over-quarter as quality apartments were completed.
