With a growing need for multifamily housing solutions at all income levels, the U.S. market is seeing a proliferation of inventive projects. Alongside the creativity is a nascent move toward higher quality, if not always larger unit sizes, with offerings of better amenities both inside and outside today’s latest residential solutions. This movement is happening in spite of a tough economic climate: escalating interest rates and relative declines in unit prices, along with softer sales and leasing activity in many markets, say building teams nationally. In fact, according to leading experts, this “flight-to-quality” trend extends from the luxury realm and office building conversions to affordable and entry-level offerings in new developments.
