3 Reasons Why Multi-Family’s Rebound Supports Orlando’s Expanding Economy

The story splashing across industry information sources such as The Growthspotter, The Orlando Business Journal, and CoStar centers around multi-family’s impressive recovery.

But why and can this be sustained?

• Orlando’s growth rate is the second fastest of the 30 largest U.S. cities welcoming more than 1,000 new residents a week.
• Nonfarm employment continues to expand indicating that the economy is growing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the 12-month change for September 2021 is a whopping 7%!
• In-person learning propels a surge in apartment demand. The University of Central Florida (UCF) is the biggest in Florida, and the second-largest in the nation (more than 65,000 students). UCF houses only about 20% of its students, leaving plenty of renters looking for additional housing.
