Multifamily housing has proven to be a great investment, as we see more construction in low density markets. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the suburbs and exurbs are outpacing markets with higher density over the last year.
Realtor Magazine recently revealed some of the multifamily architectural trends and designs:
Greater adoption of technology
More technology will help decrease touch points in units and common spaces and streamline leasing processes as well. For example, technology could fuel management applications and touchless options for doors could grow in common areas. Virtual reality and virtual tours could help in leasing units. Also, robots could be the future in delivering packages and groceries to tenants.
Home offices included in floor plans
As remote work grows, more buildings may create spaces or nooks for residents working from home. These home office spaces will need to incorporate privacy and natural light to appeal to tenants.
Infusing distance, light, and air
Multifamily units will look for more ways to have indoor and outdoor spaces flow together between common areas and individual units, such as the use of sliding screen doors. Developers also will look to improved ventilation in their buildings, and Gehman believes “posse pods” will catch on—communal spaces for gatherings of smaller groups of six or eight people in a building’s social areas rather than expansive clubhouses for big gatherings.
Greater sustainability
Multifamily buildings also likely will look to eco-friendly products and healthier building materials that can help them offer cleaner air in their units and also lessen utility costs. They may look to use solar panels or more water-saving features. Buildings also may look to adopt more recycling and composting programs.
