Build-to-Rent (BTR) Property Type Offers Positive Demand Outlook

by Sarah Daniels June 9, 2022

By Jeff Erxleben, president, debt & equity at Northmarq Liquidity and an incredibly positive outlook for single-family build-to-rent (BTR) properties is helping to offset some of the turbulence developers are experiencing from rising interest rates. Developers have been ramping up the pace of single-family BTR construction over the past five years with forecasts that call for a record high 60,000 new units to be completed in 2022. That volume shows a steady increase over the 53,000 units completed in 2021 and 49,000 in 2020, according to Northmarq’s recently released Single-Family Build-to-Rent Properties Special Report. Although financing across all property types has been impacted by upward movement in both short- and long-term borrowing rates, the BTR sector is in a good position to shake off those challenges and maintain its growth momentum. Higher construction and financing costs are being offset by rising rents with year-over-year rent increases, that in many areas of the country, are quite substantial. Developers also are finding good access to both debt and equity. The number of lenders that are active in the space is expanding as developers move into new markets and continue to prove out business models and performance with successful lease-up and dispositions.

New Mexico’s Multifamily Market Heats Up

by Jeff Shaw June 8, 2022

Companies, Investors Court New Mexico’s Multifamily By Todd Clarke, CEO, NM Apartment Advisors Strong employment and changing post-pandemic lifestyles have led to a surge of demand for New Mexico’s multifamily rental market. Investments made more than a decade ago are paying off from SpacePort NM and the NM Rail Runner, as well as the film and television industries, which have made New Mexico the third best place to film in the country behind Los Angeles and New York. Although Santa Fe — the fifth best international destination and oldest state capital — remains undeserved by more than 6,484 units, the market is on track to deliver 1,500-plus units. This is well ahead of Albuquerque’s less than 1,000 new units. More development will hopefully continue, thanks to a new Integrated Dynamic Ordinance (IDO, or zoning), recent investments in mass transit expansion lines and a vibrant tech eco-system at the Innovation District in downtown Albuquerque. Several major employers have announced expansions in the market, including Intel (750 jobs), Netflix (3,000 jobs), Facebook/Meta (35 IT jobs, 1,500 construction jobs) and Amazon (four distribution facilities totaling more than 3,500 new jobs). Based on historic benchmarks, this creates an acute housing shortage in Albuquerque. Recent …
