In recent years, the construction of luxury buildings has accounted for many of the new multi-family units built. While good for the industry, this construction growth does not address the increasing demand for affordable housing as the population in American cities grows.
Developers are exploring new ways to finance and construct affordable housing projects, and they are turning to construction partners to assist with projects from the preconstruction phase to completion.
