As nationwide supply struggles to keep pace with demand, fundamentals in the multifamily space have been, and remain, strong—resulting in growth opportunities for new development and existing product. With development and investment opportunities on the rise, experienced legal counsel is essential for successfully moving projects from conception to completion.
