ATLANTA — Lenders are understandably exercising caution when it comes to financing multifamily housing development projects, says Robert Murray, chief economist for Dodge Data & Analytics, which tracks construction starts across commercial real estate. “Notwithstanding the pickup in activity we had in 2018 and notwithstanding the fact that millennials are still looking at apartments as opposed to single-family homes, we view multifamily housing as one of the more vulnerable parts of the construction industry right now.” The insights from Murray came during his mid-year outlook presentation before approximately 60 people who gathered at Le Meridien Perimeter in Atlanta on Friday, June 14. The attendees were largely building product manufacturers, with additional representation from financial services and construction staffing services. In 2018, construction starts in the multifamily sector totaled 534,000 nationwide, according to Dodge. The projection for 2019 is 495,000 units, which would equate to a 7 percent decrease. As for 2020, the decline could be as much as 15 percent, according to Murray. The national apartment vacancy rate for the first quarter of 2019 stood at 4.8 percent, up 10 basis points from 4.7 percent a year earlier, according to Reis, which tracks apartment completions and occupancy.
