In the Multifamily Trenches

  • FCC to Multifamily: Plug Away

    Like a lot of people, I read this week's Wall Street Journal story "Builders Get Back in Game" with great interest. The piece started with story about Zaremba Group, which is building a 325-unit project near Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. (before saying a ballpark development is great hedge against recession, take a look at what is happening-or not really happening-in the wasteland surrounds Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. Oh, and that's actually a good real estate market right now.)

  • The Recession is Ending, So Can Job Growth Be Far Behind?

    It used to be that certain states were considered by economists as bellweather indicators of trends to come. Since the recession has been so wide spread across the nation, the usual platitudes, "so goes California or so goes Atlanta, so goes the country" don't have the same meaning.
