“The apartment market continues to positively reflect the strong preference for working America to live in rental housing,” said Ella Neyland, president of the REIT. “Although construction of new apartment communities will hit record numbers in 2017, post Great Recession, this new product is predominately luxury apartments where rents are much higher than Steadfast’s average monthly rents. We believe this continues to make Steadfast a value proposition for most of America.”
