Multifamily Real Estate

A deep track record in multifamily development

The National Apartment Association recently reported that the U.S. needs about 4.6 million new multi-family units by 2030 to keep up with demand. That's about 328,000 new units annually over the next 10 years.*

Residential real estate is one of our core areas of focus for the simple reason that the sector has long held strong against uncertainty and economic swings, and demand for rentals has continued to grow.

Over the past 20 years, the Barber Partners team has overseen $2.7B in transactional value with 0 significant loss from the residential and multifamily sectors. We believe with current economic conditions and consumer preferences that this sector will continue to perform. Occupancy rates remain high nationally for the simple reason that everyone needs somewhere to live

Community-oriented Lifestyle

Individuals and families, young professionals and baby boomers make up a growing renter demographic that spans generations and income levels. While many people rent out necessity, a growing number of people are choosing to rent for the flexible and community-oriented lifestyle it offers. That trend has opened up a wide opportunity for properties across multi-family classes, from A-class luxury to C-class workforce housing.

Our focus on residential and multifamily housing aligns well with these current economic conditions and consumer preferences. Residential rentals continue to perform, and occupancy rates remain high nationally for the simple reason that everyone needs somewhere to live.

Investment Strategy

The large 200+ unit complex with full apartment amenities important to the younger millennial renter.
Smaller complexes of ~50 to 100 units for workforce housing. By eliminating on-site amenities such as work out facilities and pools that professional workforce renters likely have other preferred sources for, nicer interiors are emphasized.
Value add acquisitions.
Strategically located, planned communities of garden style rental homes which appeal to upper-income, on-the-move professionals in suburban submarkets of the major cities in the Southeast and Texas.
