Apartment Trends – Winter 2014/15
• One of most active new construction markets in U. S.
– Expect 12,000+ new units 2014-2016 . Includes 3,500 in Downtown Mpls.
– Major supply increases in Mpls creating competitive market. However, NOT a demand problem. Do NOT expect overbuilt submarkets. New product being absorbed; very limited use of concessions/incentives by apartment owners.
– Healthy market experiencing absorption & temporary vacancy adjustment in active submarkets, expect market re-balance to 5.0% vacancy by late 2016.

New Apartments -- What are we building?
• A big splash with amenities.• Design for single-person households• Small, efficient units. Increasing popularity of Studio & “Alcove”
floorplans
• Studio, Alcove, 1BR – 2/3+ of the unit mix today • Fewer 2BRs – 20% today vs. 30% to 40% in past
– Fits Millenial renter profile. Not necessarily empty nesters, with preference for larger 2+ BR floorplans.

Who is Renting?• Demand for new, luxury product especially is driven by in-migration, job transfers.
– Preference for well located, urban housing
– Higher incomes, often less price sensitivity
• Also renters relocating/”upgrading” their housing w/in metro area.
• Limited cannibalization, however, of existing apartments. And older apartments able to quickly re-lease. Strong economy & job growth are keys to this.
• Millenials having major impact on market
– Now are age 25-35 years old
• Empty nesters too, but in smaller numbers
• Other groups: young families (including immigrants), but larger rental homes and townhomes, rather than apartments

Why rent?• Increasing propensity to rent, rather than buy. Why?
• Lifestyle Factors
– Prefer urban locations (more rental options here than ownership)
– Maintenance-free
– Smaller household (single renters opting for Studio or 1BR living)….may not make sense to buy a larger condo or house
– Design of modern apartments supports socialization – amenities, gathering spaces. Important to Millenials.
– MOBILITY! -- Renting provides mobility. Could I sell my home?

Why rent?• Economic Factors
– Mobility – resale issue and timing
– Cost factors. Income-qualified, perhaps. But what about savings?
– Down payment requirement. 20%? $80-100,000+ in many cases, especially urban and popular suburban markets.
– Lack of savings – high debt levels
– College debt –
• MN ranks 4th highest nationally.
• 70% have “significant” college debt. Avg. nearly $40,000 per student.

Twin Cities Market Outlook• Market Rate Apt Construction:
– Construction: +12,000 new units 2014-2016.– Demand: Market absorption 3,000+ units per year.– Expect temporary market vacancy adjustment, but demand generally in line with supply– Vacancy: 2015-2016: 3.8%-4.5% (predict will not exceed 5.0%)
• Demand fundamentals remain strong:– Strong economy: 30,000+ new jobs per year– Employee recruitment/retention key to success of economy. Requires attractive ,
appropriately designed and priced new housing!– Demographics: impact of Millenials.– Rent vs buy decision. Economics & lifestyle factors make renting attractive.– College enrollment trend. 440,000 in MN colleges vs. 350,000 10 years ago!– Avg. college graduate nearly $40k in debt – renting makes sense.

What’s Next• Downtown/Uptown Minneapolis markets are hot. But what’s next?
• Not all can afford, or want to live in central cities. What about other locations?– Similar location fundamentals apply -- proximity to jobs, goods/services, dining/shopping,
recreation, highway/transit access, walkability – “walk-score”
• Downtown St. Paul becoming more active.
• Light Rail Transit Corridors! Potential for SW-LRT
• What will Millenials want next? First wave of this group aging into early 30’s. What’s next after that Uptown apartment?
