SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. — Following an unsteady year in 2020, the multifamily sector is taking a leap in the early half of 2021, according to the latest Yardi Matrix National Multifamily Report. In April, multifamily rents rose 1.6 percent year-over-year, which Yardi Matrix says is the highest increase seen since the beginning of the pandemic. The firm reports overall rents increased by $10 in April to $1,417 per month, the biggest single-month gain since June 2015. Rent Growth, Occupancy Levels Across Different Markets Most markets saw month-over-month rent growth. Twenty four of the top 30 markets that Yardi Matrix tracks saw month-over-month rent growth exceeding 0.5 percent, and all gateway markets experienced positive gains from March. All gateway markets had positive rent growth for the trailing three months as well, with Miami’s rent growing 0.8 percent, Chicago 0.5 percent and Boston 0.4 percent. However, some gateway markets are still struggling compared to where they were a year ago, including Washington, D.C., with only a 0.2 percent growth. New York City, San Francisco and Seattle all experienced 0.1 percent rent growth. Yardi Matrix says that these gateway markets that are behind are expected to experience rent growth this summer.

By Joseph W. Brady, President, Bradco Cos. The High Desert portion of San Bernardino County, also known as the Mojave River Valley, is anticipating exceptional industrial development growth in the upcoming years as the balance of the Inland Empire builds out and has no significant land to further develop.  The Mojave River Valley region contains more than 22 million square feet of industrial space. The City of Hesperia has recently experienced a mass grading project — probably the largest grading project in the High Desert’s history. Covington Capital is mass grading 232 acres where it intends to build a 3.5-million-square-foot industrial complex.  The first building (1,055,360 square feet) will be developed for Modway. It will increase the major furniture distributor’s ability to serve regional and national distribution requirements from its current 310,555-square-foot facility in Fontana. The 60-acre site is being developed by Exeter Property Group. Big Lots opened its new distribution center in north/east Apple Valley in late 2019. This 1.3-million-square-foot facility sits just south of Walmart’s distribution center.  Brightline West has also acquired property in north Apple Valley near Dale Evans Parkway for a high-speed rail station that will move passengers from Southern California to Las Vegas in 90 minutes at speeds …
