Rising Downtown Populations Spur Need for More Multifamily Development

More millennials, members of Generation X, and even baby boomers moving downtown have created an uptick in demand for multifamily development. Detroit, for instance, happens to be one market whose multifamily sector has taken off with 1,551 units added in just the last five years.

According to a data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 52 out of America’s 100 largest cities were in the renter majority in 2015. This trend is expected to continue even as millennials begin families. Baby boomers who are looking to downsize from their larger, multi-bedroom homes will cause the overall percentage of renters to keep increasing.

Because Midwest cities like Cincinnati, Detroit and Columbus are experiencing positive population growth, business retention and investment follow closely behind.

As these younger generations flock downtown, the need for more multifamily development is increasing. Each market has experienced positive population growth since 2000.
