Why This Matters:

2025 was a year marked by economic uncertainty, and while active construction starts in Richmond are down 13.5% year over year, the fundamentals of the Richmond multifamily market remain strong. The vacancy rate has been trending down and stands at 9%, rent growth is steady and posted 1.6% growth YOY, population is rising at 1.1%, and unemployment remains one of the lowest in the country at 3.3%. Join Bisnow as we explore the market trends and development strategies that are defining Richmond’s multifamily boom and driving economic growth in the region.
