Development built with Japan’s Daiwa House Group to be completed by end of 2023 Despite  recession fears  and rising interest rates, the Houston area continues to attract multifamily investors eager to build in the Bayou City. High Street Residential, the luxury apartment developer subsidiary of the venerable Dallas-based real estate empire of Trammell Crow Company is teaming up with Japan’s Daiwa House Group, mostly known for prefabricated single-family homes, to add yet another high-end apartment development to Houston’s inventory. The joint venture will build a new apartment and townhome project in the northern Houston suburb of Kingwood, according to a Houston Chronicle report. The garden-style apartment community, slated to be completed by the end of 2023, will include 240 apartments and 49 townhomes for rent. Despite Daiwa’s involvement, there will be no “wholesale pre-fabrication in the project,” Trammell Crow spokesperson Elise Maguire told The Real Deal. The Residences at King

U.S. Needs 4.3M More Apartments by 2035 to Address Demand, Deficit and Affordability:  Amidst demographic shifts and lingering pandemic impacts on the population and broader economy, the U.S. faces a pressing need to build 4.3 million new apartments by 2035, according to a new study commissioned by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the National Apartment Association (NAA). Key findings: Shortage of 600,000 apartment homes. The 4.3 million apartment homes needed include an existing 600,000 apartment home deficit because of underbuilding due in large part to the 2008 financial crisis. Loss of affordable units. The number of affordable units (those with rents less than $1,000 per month) declined by 4.7 million from 2015 to 2020. Homeownership. Apartment demand also factors in a projected 3.8% increase in the homeownership rate. Immigration. Immigration is a significant driver of apartment demand, and levels tapered before the pandemic has remained low. A reversal of th

Why Rental Prices Are Going Up

Image
  Time Magazine Rental prices going up  BY ABBY VESOULIS - Author G arrett deGraffenreid, a 23-year-old New York University graduate student, knew the rent on his one-bedroom Manhattan apartment would jump when he saw a Trader Joe’s grocery store pop up down the block. “The writing was on the wall,” he says. What he didn’t anticipate was just how much his rent would rise. When deGraffenreid and his partner signed a lease last year, they paid about $1,600 per month. On Feb. 11, they received a notice informing them that a new lease beginning next month would cost $2,750 per month: a 69% surge. “It felt defeating,” says deGraffenreid. He responded to the notice with a plea for a more reasonable rent increase, but was met with a “brick wall” response. The gist of their message was: "There’s nothing you can do so don’t waste your time trying. Good luck!" He isn’t alone. Similarly jarring double-digit rent spikes are happening all over the country. In Henderson, Nevada, rents rose

Properties are full in many areas of Houston, especially in the suburbs where rental rates seem to be a little lower than downtown. And yes, rents have skyrocketed. The rental rates are not expected to go down and that's why you need an apartment locator, we do the research for you. Some of our previous clients are now experiencing lease renewal increases of $200+ monthly. Quotes we provided to our clients a couple of months ago who were looking a little early are now $100 to $200+ above those prices!  Every industry and business has been affected by shortages but especially the housing market, multifamily housing as in apartments, to homes for sale and even rental homes and that's all due to the pandemic causing a shortage of building supplies among other things.
