Despite the life-altering pandemic, and despite opposing local political factions at odds over how to spend $168 million in pandemic-tied federal funding, the St. Louis multifamily housing market continues to skyrocket.
This is not hometown hyperbole or cheerleading, as the global commercial real estate firm Newmark Zimmer confirms in a recent report, ranking St. Louis’ as the No. 2 multifamily market nationwide. And with nearly 15,000 individual apartment units either currently under construction or in the planning stages in the St. Louis area, this upward trending trajectory seems unstoppable.
Why the Multifamily BOOM?
There are many reasons cited for the continued growth of this explosive real estate market, trending back to at least 2016.
- It is widely held among real estate developers that multifamily housing is a secure, recession-proof real estate investment.
- Millennials and the 55-and-older sect seeking for upper-scale, lifestyle living choices.
- The Midwest is viewed as a stable lifestyle environment compared to coastal urban areas.
- St. Louis’ employment-base diversity compared to industry-centric cities like Houston (energy) and regions like Silicon Valley (high-tech).
In response, St. Louis area developers and general contractors are working overtime on any number of multifamily new construction projects, while also revitalizing many historic commercial buildings and transforming them into upscale living spaces and social gathering places with attractive amenities like bars and lounges, spas, golf lounges, pools and fitness centers.
