The multifamily sector is in the midst of a new construction boom, with $116.4 billion in new project volume started in 2021 \u2014\u00a0up 25% from 2020, according to Dodge Construction Group<\/a>. This boom corresponds with spike in demand for market-rate apartments<\/a>, as well as rapidly rising rents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly half of these new projects were built in the country’s 10 largest metropolitan areas for commercial and multifamily starts. Many of these cities are also home to the largest and most expensive projects to break ground last year, although that balance is beginning to shift, according to Richard Branch, chief economist at Dodge Construction Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year’s 10 largest apartment starts exemplify this shift, with two projects in Atlanta, one in Alexandria, Virginia, and one in Winter Garden, Florida.<\/p>\n

“The top end of the list is always going to be dominated by megaprojects in Miami and New York City,”\u00a0Branch said. “What we saw in 2021 is that this spread out a little bit more. You’re still seeing Miami and Chicago and Boston, but it’s not as concentrated in New York City as as we saw prior to the pandemic.”<\/p>\n

Below are the 10 largest new apartment projects that broke ground last year, as tabulated by Dodge:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed by JDS Development Group with SHoP Architects and James Corner Field Operations, the 64-story mixed-use tower at 1 Southside Park will feature a mix of facade structures divided into sections<\/a>, with landscaping across the exterior. “If you look at the architectural renderings of this, it actually looks a little bit like a tree house,”\u00a0said Branch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fittingly, the property will include the first U.S. location of Starwood Capital Group founder and CEO Barry Sternlicht’s Treehouse Hotel<\/a>, 1,200 residential units, office space, commercial and event spaces and a variety of green spaces, including the redevelopment of the nearby Southside Park. The ground level will also offer new facilities for Miami’s Fire Station No. 4.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think in my 12 years at Dodge I’ve ever seen, in a high-end project like that, especially in a place like Miami, a fire station built into the ground floor,”\u00a0Branch said.<\/p>\n
