REITs and large developers are once again entering the multifamily market in select markets. According to Village Green Cos. CEO and chairman Jonathan Holtzman, “The banks are open for business for the right borrower with the right project in the right submarket.” His group recently broke ground on a 175-unit mixed-use project in Minneapolis. It’s projected to be built and leased up by early 2011.

“Anyone who has the financial wherewithal to start building today is going to face a great environment when they deliver that asset two or three years down the road,” says Highlands Ranch, Colo.-based UDR chairman and CEO Tom Toomey.
