Multifamily New Construction In 2016 Has Already Beat 20-Year Average

The Phoenix area’s multifamily construction boom isn’t showing any signs of a slowdown. In terms of project units delivered, new multifamily construction has already beaten the 20-year average. New deliveries haven’t hit that average for six years, according to ABI’s Multifamily Construction Pipeline report for Q2 2016.

Here's a synopsis of the report’s stats:

  • Most transactions involved projects built before 1990.

  • Transaction volume was $1.61B for properties with more than 100 units and $119M for properties with less than 100 units.

  • Average price/SF, 100+ units, was $128.39 and average price per unit was $107k.

  • Average price/SF, fewer than 100 units, was $93.35 and average price per unit was $71k.

  • 5,448 project units have delivered this year, beating Phoenix MSA’s 20-year average.

We dug a little deeper to bring you more details about two new multifamily projects ABI noted.
