ATLANTA — Workforce housing is a hot topic in the multifamily sector. The apartments are designed to serve middle-class renters, with no government subsidies such as tax credits and fewer of the bells and whistles associated with luxury projects.

Theoretically, this means there is a large market to serve by building workforce housing communities. However, while some …

Metro Philadelphia has commonly been characterized as stable by multifamily investors. It’s akin to a backhanded compliment when comparing our region to those with higher population growth or more “business-friendly” governments. Cue the overused “eds and meds” story that fails to reference the technology, life sciences or gene therapy industries, all of which help to diversify the region’s employment base and contribute to a strong economy. (The “eds,” of course, are institutions of higher learning and the “meds” are medical facilities.) Historically, investors also haven’t differentiated between suburban Philadelphia, namely …
