Apartment developers are taking a fresh look at what they will build going forward, taking into account today’s new health concerns. I consult for rental apartment developers on the subject of what renters want, what my clients should present to the market, what the supportable rents will be, and which groups will be the audience for that product. Crescent Communities for example includes balconies for a large percentage of the units in their apartment buildings. For two-story apartment buildings, there is merit in having separate entrances from the front of the building for each unit. Now a number of trends are coming together which are expanding future multi-family offerings, particularly rental offerings, into alternate formats.
