HOUSTON — While it’s not an ideal time to be a multifamily property owner in Houston, it is a good time to be working on behalf of one. With their clients sitting on excess supply, apartment locators — middlemen who match tenant preferences to properties — are being increasingly called upon to deliver tenants. Locators work on commission, typically earning about 20 percent of the first month’s rent for their services. But in Houston’s soft market, that figure is rapidly rising. Ricardo Rivas, chief investment officer at Allied Orion Group and one of sev...

Providence Place Apartments rendering by SGN+A. HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Developers are breaking ground or already at work on several major apartment projects this year across the Huntsville area. The construction activity isn 't surprising to David Wilson, who tracks dozens of apartment complexes with 60 or more units in the local market. "We've had few new construction starts the last few years," he said. "Things are ramping up after a lull." It helps that the Huntsville area has one of the healthier economies in the state and region, Wilson said. Only 86 apartments were added to the local market in 2011, according to Wilson, a sales agent with Birmingham- based Rock Apartment Advisors and president of The David Wilson Co. in Huntsville.

Site preparation work started earlier this year at the site of Providence Place Apartments at the northeast corner of Providence Main Street and Biltmore Drive in west Hunts...

(Benjamin C Tankersley/For The Washington Post) Home buyers always hope to purchase at the right moment in the housing market and in the right location, preferably one where new development will add value. Condominiums have been rising for years on streets near the Columbia Heights Metro station and the Georgia Avenue- Petworth Metro station , yet developers always seem to find new locations to squeeze in more. The five-unit condo at 3525 14th St. NW, a new development by Congressional Properties, was a small retail business on the ground floor with an apartment above, says Brian Athey, founder and president of Congressional Properties in Washington. “We like that location a lot because you can walk to Metro very easily and get to restaurants and shops, but the immediate area along 14th Street is still changing pretty quickly ,” Athey says. “We fee...
