Texas Multifamily Owners Ride Out The Hangover

by Taylor Williams

By Taylor Williams On some level, they knew this was coming, right? They just thought it would be over by now.  Indeed, the expression, “survive till ’25” has proven insufficient as a barometer for when the multi-year slowdown in multifamily rent growth and valuations — inevitable consequences of the record-high sales prices and record-low cap rates that were achieved in 2021 and 2022 — would eventually fizzle out. Unprecedented supply growth in recent years, catalyzed by historically low interest rates and insatiable demand and taken to perhaps the highest of highs in Texas, has, unsurprisingly, generated cyclical pain in subsequent years. True, that pain is submarket-specific and is likely on its way out, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s tough sledding for many multifamily owners right now.  “Multifamily has had almost everything possible thrown at it in the past few years: interest rates rising, rental rates flatlining due to supply growth and operating expenses going up across multiple categories, from payroll to insurance to repairs/maintenance,” says John Griggs, co-CEO and co-founder of Texas-based developer Presidium. “Everything started flipping the wrong way at the same time. Some of those variables may correct in our favor, but it’s now been …

by Taylor Williams

GRIMES COUNTY, TEXAS — Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) will build a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Grimes County, located northwest of Houston. The first phase of the project represents a capital investment of $16.8 billion and is expected to create about 3,000 new jobs within the local economy. The office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made the announcement late last week, noting that the state had provided SpaceX with a $30 million Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant in association with the project, which will be known as Terafab. The facility is planned to span more than 100 million square feet under a single roof, which would make it the largest structure in the world. A construction timeline was not announced. Founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, SpaceX already houses its global headquarters and Starbase launch facilities in South Texas’ Cameron County. The company also operates a semiconductor research-and-development (R&D) and advanced packaging facility in Bastrop, about 30 miles southeast of Austin, for its Starlink satellite platform. “The first-of-its-kind Terafab facility will accelerate chip production in Texas at an unprecedented scale, create thousands of good-paying jobs in Grimes County and expand economic opportunity for generations of Texans across southeast Texas and …
