Rise of  High-Rise: Developers are Fulfilling Demand for Urban Living

By Trip Stephens, CIO of ZOM

In the aftermath of the housing bubble a few years back, many Americans have changed their views on homeownership. Homeownership rates have dropped from a peak of 69.4 percent in 2004, to just 64.8 percent today - the lowest level the U.S. Census Bureau has reported in 15 years.

Demographic shifts are also influencing tenure choice. People in the expanding 25-34 year age group want to live closer to work, be more socially engaged with their peers and prefer the freedom and flexibility of renting instead of owning. Many are also less inclined to own a car.

A growing segment of these younger renters are also drawn to top-tier U.S. cities, which offer higher paying jobs, more attractive public spaces and cultural venues and 24-hour lifestyle environments. These trends are driving a surge in demand for higher density, urban apartments, many of which will be developed in mid- and high-rise formats due to land scarcity in the best urban locations.
