Mill Creek Residential Trust ‎managing director Michael Genthe said the OC is expected to see historic highs this year with 8,864 units expected to be delivered in 2017, according to MPF Research.

"It's a year of absorption, stabilization and stagnant rent growth," Genthe said.

Genthe and Jacobson will both be at the Bisnow Orange County State of the Market event starting at 7:30 a.m. Feb. 28 at the Irvine Marriott.
