Twin Cities to see multi-family vacancies fall to 10-year low

Some good news for the commercial real estate market and possibly, our industry.

According to the latest Real Estate Journal blog post, apartment owners in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area will enjoy one of the tightest vacancy rates in the country this year. The Journal refers to a research brief from Marcus & Millichap that states the good news is traced to the strong employment numbers in the Twin Cities.

The tight market should encourage new apartment construction projects in the coming months.
