Retailers continue to expand here. Investors continue to buy here. And perhaps most importantly, consumers continue to support both national brands and local businesses in a meaningful way.

Vacancy throughout the region remains exceptionally low, particularly in established corridors, hovering at around 3.6 percent in the second quarter.

Increasingly, investors are recognizing that Richmond offers something particularly valuable in the current environment: attractive yield in a market where pricing has not necessarily caught up with the underlying fundamentals. Fundamentals hold up Richmond’s multifamily market is absorbing a meaningful amount of new supply while continuing to generate rent growth.
