New Developments Fuel the Bright Future of Nashville’s Multifamily Market

by John Nelson March 13, 2023

As someone who has lived here for the past decade, I regularly hear phrases like, “It’s an exciting time to live, work and play in Nashville.” I love hearing those comments and am honored that our team plays a role in the city’s growth. However, is that optimism cooling, or is Nashville uniquely primed for continued success in the multifamily space? Following a white-hot streak of rent growth and transaction velocity during the economy’s resounding pandemic recovery, Nashville joins the rest of the nation in a transitionary period influenced by interest rate hikes and inflation. But for many reasons, our city is better prepared than most. Approximately 130,000 residents have moved to Nashville in the past five years, resulting in some of the highest apartment construction rates in the country. In fact, according to Marcus & Millichap’s Research Services division, Nashville is expected to take over the top spot for inventory growth nationwide in 2023, with roughly three-fourths of the metro’s new construction located in Nashville proper. While those numbers are certainly impressive, Marcus & Millichap’s National Multifamily Index, which ranks major markets based on forward-looking economic indicators, places Nashville in only the No. 28 position for 2023. This is …

Nashville’s Retail Growth Underscores the City’s Boomtown Status

by John Nelson March 6, 2023

Nashville’s economy experienced some of the healthiest growth in the nation in 2022, with an annual job growth rate of 5.8 percent, exceeding the U.S. growth rate of 4.1 percent, based on data from Oxford Economics. Nashville also received high marks from the Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers, ranking as the No. 1 Market to Watch in their 2023 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report. The report credited Nashville’s tremendous and sustained population growth, and its economic diversity. Referred to as a “Supernova,” Nashville grew by an average of 5 percent since 2019 — four times faster than the national rate — due to rapid net in-migration. These fundamentals have helped boost the retail market in Nashville over the last several years. Post-pandemic, market-wide retail vacancy decreased to 3.3 percent at the end of 2022, which is two percentage points less than the rate at year-end 2020, but in line with the 15-year record low mark set in 2018. While Nashville’s retail sector took a hit along with others across the nation, it continues to rebound and perform due to a rise in dense communities where developers and owners are being strategic and thoughtful in retail curation. As such, the …

Northmarq Opens New Office in Nashville

by John Nelson March 3, 2023

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Northmarq has officially opened its Nashville office, serving the Middle Tennessee, Northern Alabama and Kentucky markets. The Minneapolis-based commercial real estate services firm has grown its local team to eight consisting of producers and admin support and is looking to grow to upwards of 20 in the Music City across both its Investment Sales and Debt & Equity teams. Bryan Schellinger, managing director of investment sales, is leading Northmarq’s Investment Sales division at the new office. He relocated from Northmarq’s Southern California team where he also helped grow the firm’s investment sales offerings. The Investment Sales division in Nashville is now primarily handling multifamily deals but intends to expand its exposure across all asset classes in keeping with the company’s push to be property type-agnostic following Northmarq’s acquisition of Stan Johnson Co. last year. “We’re actively looking to add an industrial investment sales team [in Nashville] given the significant growth in the sector across the Southeast and Tennessee,” says Schellinger. “Northmarq’s Nashville office will soon be able to provide a suite of services for all property owners and lenders.” Locally based broker David Stollenwerk joined the new Northmarq office after several years with Marcus & Millichap’s Nashville …
