Giants 300 Multifamily Report

Multifamily starts sink to lowest level in decades


August 11, 2010
This article first appeared in the 200907 issue of BD+C.

Multifamily housing starts dropped to 100,000 in April—the lowest level in several decades—due to still-worsening conditions in the apartment market. Nonetheless, the April total is below trend, so starts will move progressively back to a still-depressed 150,000-unit pace by late next year.
