InterFace: Build-to-Rent Developers Navigate Uncertainty Stemming from ROAD to Housing Law, Picky Renters

by Matthew Auchincloss July 21, 2026

By Matthew Auchincloss CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The multifamily build-to-rent (BTR) market in the Carolinas is the most competitive it’s ever been. According to Louis Smart, senior vice president at CBRE, more than 22,000 townhomes and single-family rental (SFR) units were delivered in the Carolinas over the past three years, and developers are jostling for position to handle it. “We’re reacting as probably most of our peers are reacting: scratching and clawing through lease-up, being as creative as we can, spending money that we really don’t want to spend from a marketing and advertising perspective trying to differentiate the product as much as possible, leaning into the fact that we believe we’ve picked good locations,” adds Andy Lucas, principal at Beauxwright. Lucas was a speaker on a panel titled, “Build-to-Rent in the Carolinas: Headwinds, Tailwinds and What Comes Next?” The panel was part of the lineup at InterFace Carolinas Multifamily, an information and networking conference that took place on May 21 at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown.

Compared to the counterparts in the traditional multifamily space, owners and operators of build-to-rent (BTR) properties believe that they are in some ways better positioned to capitalize on this trend. And according to some professionals who own and operate these properties, resident retention is a powerful supportive factor behind this sentiment. Ty Robinson, president at Dallas-based ONM Living, the BTR division of HistoryMaker Homes, says that the majority of his company’s residents are experienced renters who are coming from traditional apartments. Robinson has observed that while these individuals may take longer to formally sign a lease for a BTR home than they would a regular apartment, all other factors being held equal, once they’re in, they tend to stick around. “Given the price point — we typically see premiums of 10 to 30 percent relative to traditional multifamily — and the weight of the decision, it often takes those people longer to commit, but they’re not as transient,” Robinson says. “These residents are staying longer, and as experienced renters, they don’t typically need as much oversight from …
