The largest owner of apartments in the United States was Greystar, an international developer and manager headquartered in Charleston, SC. In 2025, Greystar owned nearly ******* units. MAA, a Tennessee-based real estate investment trust, ranked second, with ******* apartments owned. Real estate investment trusts The majority of the largest owners of apartments in the U.S. are real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are companies that own (and usually operate) income-producing real estate. REITs were created in 1960, when the Cigar Excise Tax Extension permitted investment in large-scale diversified real estate portfolios through the purchase and sale of liquid securities. This effectively aligned investment in real estate with other asset classes. In 2023, there were approximately 200 REITs in the United States with a market capitalization of *** trillion U.S. dollars. Apartments in the United States The rental return for apartments in the U.S. has been steadily climbing in recent times, with the national monthly median rent for an unfurnished apartment steadily increasing since 2012. Over this period, apartment vacancy rates have been decreasing across the country, suggesting that demand outweighs supply. Accordingly, large-scale investment in apartments by REITs is likely to continue into the foreseeable future.

The City of Peachtree Corners more closely represents an urban community than it does a traditional suburban market. Current land use within the City is almost evenly split between residential and non-residential uses (51.6%-49.4%). This level of activity is desirable from a fiscal health perspective, as non-residential uses typically generate greater revenues than the cost of services consumed. Of the approximately 55.4 million square feet of taxable building space, slightly more than 21.6 million is for singlefamily residential use (detached houses and townhouses). Warehousing accounts for the second largest total at more than 13.6 million square feet. The diversity of land uses within Peachtree Corners goes beyond the residential/ nonresidential levels. Within the residential market, nearly 25% of the developed space is in multi-family units (quadplexes, apartments, and condominiums), with the vast majority being traditional rental properties. Additionally, retail and services make up less than 13% of the City’s non-residential development. Suburban markets typically have more than 50% of non-residential development in the retail and services category

According to our latest research, the global student micro-apartment market size reached USD 9.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2033, attaining a forecasted market value of USD 18.8 billion by 2033. This significant growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand for affordable, flexible, and well-located student housing solutions in urban centers worldwide, as higher education enrollment continues to surge and urbanization intensifies.
One of the primary growth factors propelling the student micro-apartment market is the ongoing surge in global student mobility. As more students pursue higher education abroad, particularly in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the demand for compact, cost-effective, and conveniently located accommodation near educational institutions has soared. These micro-apartments offer students a blend of privacy, affordability, and community living, making them an attractive alternative to traditional dormitories and private rentals. Additionally, the rising costs of urban real estate have made large-scale student housing projects less viable, pushing developers to focus on micro-apartments that maximize space efficiency while minimizing rental costs.
Another key driver is the evolving lifestyle preferences of Generation Z and Millennial students, who prioritize sustainability, flexibility, and connectivity in their living arrangements. Student micro-apartments are designed to cater to these preferences by incorporating smart technology, energy-efficient appliances, and communal amenities such as study lounges, gyms, and social spaces. The modular nature of many micro-apartment projects enables rapid construction, scalability, and adaptability to changing student needs, further fueling market growth. Moreover, universities and private developers are increasingly partnering to offer purpose-built student accommodations (PBSA), integrating micro-apartments into campus master plans to enhance student satisfaction and retention.
The market is also benefiting from the expansion of higher education institutions into secondary and tertiary cities, especially in emerging economies across Asia Pacific and Latin America. These regions are witnessing a boom in university enrollments, driven by favorable demographic trends and government initiatives to improve access to education. As a result, there is a heightened need for affordable student housing options that can be quickly deployed and managed efficiently. The growing acceptance of alternative rental models, such as co-living and shared micro-apartments, is further diversifying the market landscape, attracting investment from real estate funds, institutional investors, and proptech startups.
Regionally, Europe and North America remain the largest markets for student micro-apartments, accounting for a combined share of over 60% of global revenues in 2024. However, the Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest-growing market, with a projected CAGR of over 10% during the forecast period. Countries like China, India, and Australia are experiencing unprecedented growth in international student inflows and domestic university enrollments, driving robust demand for modern, affordable student housing solutions. Meanwhile, Middle East & Africa and Latin America are gradually catching up, supported by urbanization, rising middle-class incomes, and strategic investments in educational infrastructure.
In addition to the growing demand for student micro-apartments, there is an increasing focus on Staff Housing Solutions within educational institutions. As universities expand and modernize their campuses, the need for accommodating faculty and administrative staff becomes paramount. Staff housing solutions are designed to attract and retain top talent by providing convenient, affordable, and high-quality living options close to campus. These solutions often include a mix of housing types, from single-family homes to apartments, tailored to meet the diverse needs of university staff. By investing in staff housing, institutions not only enhance employee satisfaction and productivity but also strengthen their community ties and institutional reputation.

The online apartment rental services industry is experiencing significant growth because of the booming apartment supply, with over half a million new rental units completed in 2024. Major cities like New York, Dallas and Austin are leading the way in this surge, causing an influx of new, predominantly high-end rental units. As a result, there is increased competition among property managers and a need for more effective digital marketing strategies to reach potential renters. This accelerated growth is predominantly benefiting online rental services, which have seen a climb in listings that, in turn, drive more traffic as renters seek opportunities and deals in markets with slowing rent growth. Overall, industry-wide revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 7.7% to $928.1 million through the end of 2025, including an 8.6% gain in 2025 alone, when profit is expected to reach 23.8%. Leading organizations, such as Zillow and Redfin, are taking advantage of this trend by forming partnerships to expand their listing networks and reach. The consolidation of these digital platforms means renters can access a broader range of apartment listings, streamlining their search process and increasing market transparency. Meanwhile, property marketers are presented with simplified operations and increased marketing leads because of enhanced exposure across major rental platforms. However, smaller markets and affordable housing are not receiving the same benefits, signaling a need for more targeted digital marketing and search tools. The online apartment rental services industry is set to face a shift from oversupply to scarcity by the end of 2030. As apartment construction slows because of high borrowing costs, tighter lending standards and rising project costs, there will be a greater demand for platforms that can help landlords maximize occupancy and optimize rents in a tightening market. To meet this demand, innovations in technology, such as predictive analytics, dynamic pricing and personalized renter experiences, will become a necessity. Amid these changes, the industry is also likely to see a gain in demand for single-family rentals, creating new opportunities for digital platforms to expand their offerings and capture a larger market share. Industry revenue will strengthen at a CAGR of 9.0% to $1.4 billion in 2030.

The US residential real estate market, a cornerstone of the American economy, is projected to experience steady growth over the next decade. While the provided CAGR of 2.04% is a modest figure, it reflects a market maturing after a period of significant expansion. This sustained growth is driven by several key factors. Firstly, population growth and urbanization continue to fuel demand for housing, particularly in densely populated areas and emerging suburban markets. Secondly, low interest rates (historically, though this can fluctuate) have made mortgages more accessible, stimulating buyer activity. Thirdly, a robust construction sector, though facing challenges in material costs and labor shortages, is gradually increasing the housing supply, mitigating some of the upward pressure on prices. However, challenges remain. Rising inflation and potential interest rate hikes pose a risk to affordability, potentially dampening demand. Furthermore, the ongoing evolution of remote work is reshaping residential preferences, with a shift toward larger homes in suburban or exurban locations. This trend impacts the relative demand for various property types, potentially increasing the appeal of landed houses and villas compared to apartments and condominiums in certain regions. The segmentation of the market into apartments/condominiums and landed houses/villas provides crucial insights into consumer preferences and investment strategies. High-density urban areas will continue to see strong demand for apartments and condos, while suburban and rural areas are likely to experience a greater increase in landed property sales. Major players like Simon Property Group, Mill Creek Residential, and others are strategically adapting to these trends, focusing on both development and management across various property types and geographic locations. Analyzing regional data within the US (e.g., comparing growth in the Northeast versus the Southwest) will highlight market nuances and potential investment opportunities. While the global data provided is valuable for understanding broader market forces, focusing the analysis on the US market allows for a more granular understanding of the specific drivers, trends, and challenges within this significant segment of the real estate sector. The forecast period (2025-2033) suggests continued, albeit measured, expansion. Recent developments include: May 2022: Resource REIT Inc. completed the sale of all of its outstanding shares of common stock to Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Inc. for USD 14.75 per share in an all-cash deal valued at USD 3.7 billion, including the assumption of the REIT's debt., February 2022: The largest owner of commercial real estate in the world and private equity company Blackstone is growing its portfolio of residential rentals and commercial properties in the United States.

Introduction This dataset contains detailed data on over 42,500 apartments (250,000 rooms) in ~3,100 buildings including their geometries, room typology as well as their visual, acoustical, topological, and daylight characteristics. Additionally, we have included location-specific characteristics for the buildings, including climatic data and points of interest within walking distance. Changelog v2.2.0 (2023-03-10): A file, location_ratings.csv, has been included to provide ratings of the locations in which the buildings are situated. The ratings, provided by Fahrländer Partner AG, give insights into the living situation at the buildings' addresses. Details for the different dimensions are provided below. v2.1.0 (2022-12-23): A file, locations.csv, has been included to provide information on the climatic and infrastructural characteristics of the locations in which each building is situated v2.0.0 (2022-10-17): Additional to the residential units, we also include the commercial and public parts (such as staircases) of the models. The field unit_usage describes whether an area belongs to a commercial, residential, janitor or public part of the building Added the fields elevation and height to geometries.csv to describe the elevation above the terrain surface and the height of objects. Added the field plan_id which allows identifying which floors are based on the same floor plan (in some cases multiple floors of a building share the same floor plan Improved the ordering of fields in the CSV files (instead of alphabetic order) Minor changes to individual sites Procurement The data is sourced from commercial clients of Archilyse AG specializing on the digitization and analysis of buildings. The existing building plans of clients are converted into a geo-referenced, semantically annotated representation and undergo a manual Q/A process to ensure the accuracy of the data and to ensure a maximum 5%-deviation in the apartments' areas (validated with a median deviation of 1.2%). Geometries The dataset contains a file geometries.csv which contains the geometries of all areas, walls, railings, columns, windows, doors and features (sinks, bathtubs, etc.) of an apartment. In total, the datasets contain the 2D geometry of ~1.5 million separators (walls, railings), ~670,000 openings (windows, doors), ca. 400,000 areas (rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.), and ~290,000 features (sinks, toilets, bathtubs, etc.). Each row contains: apartment_id: The ID of the apartment (for features, areas), note: an apartment id is only unique per site site_id: The ID of the site building_id: The ID of the building floor_id: The ID of the floor plan_id: The ID of the plan on which the floor is based, multiple floors of a building might be based on the same plan unit_id: The ID of the unit in which the element is spatially contained (for features, areas) area_id: The ID of the area in which the element is spatially contained (for features) unit_usage: The usage of the unit, possible values are: RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, PUBLIC, JANITOR entity_type: The entity type (area, separator, opening, feature) entity_subtype: The entity’s sub-type (e.g. WALL) geometry: The element’s geometry as a WKT geometry in meters. The geometry is given in the site’s local coordinate system. I.e. the position between elements of the same site are correct in respect to each other. The +y direction points northwards, the +x direction points eastwards. elevation: The object's elevation above the terrain surface in meters. We assume one terrain baseline per building, thus all walls in a given floor share the same elevation value. However, windows in particular might start at different elevations and have differing heights. height: The height of the entity in meters, note: In many cases, a default height is assumed An example: column apartment_id d4438f2129b30290845ce7eef98a5ba7 site_id 127 building_id 164 plan_id 492 floor_id 861 unit_id 63777 area_id 767676 unit_usage RESIDENTIAL entity_type area entity_subtype LIVING_ROOM geometry POLYGON ((-6.1501158933490139 -4.8490786654693... elevation 0 height 2.6 Simulations Besides the geometrical model, we also provide simulation data on the visual, acoustic, solar, layout, and connectivity-related characteristics of the apartments. The file simulations.csv contains the simulation data aggregated on a per-area basis. Each row contains the identifier columns area_id, unit_id, apartment_id, floor_id, building_id, site_id as defined above as well as 367 simulation columns. Each simulation column is formatted as:
The largest owner of apartments in the United States was Greystar, an international developer and manager headquartered in Charleston, SC. In 2025, Greystar owned nearly ******* units. MAA, a Tennessee-based real estate investment trust, ranked second, with ******* apartments owned. Real estate investment trusts The majority of the largest owners of apartments in the U.S. are real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are companies that own (and usually operate) income-producing real estate. REITs were created in 1960, when the Cigar Excise Tax Extension permitted investment in large-scale diversified real estate portfolios through the purchase and sale of liquid securities. This effectively aligned investment in real estate with other asset classes. In 2023, there were approximately 200 REITs in the United States with a market capitalization of *** trillion U.S. dollars. Apartments in the United States The rental return for apartments in the U.S. has been steadily climbing in recent times, with the national monthly median rent for an unfurnished apartment steadily increasing since 2012. Over this period, apartment vacancy rates have been decreasing across the country, suggesting that demand outweighs supply. Accordingly, large-scale investment in apartments by REITs is likely to continue into the foreseeable future.
