EP#8 Paul Thrift | The Case For New Apartment Construction
Description
Election results are in, and rental housing economist Jay Parsons talks about how President Trump's win could impact rental housing — as well as reviewing California voters' decisive takedown of a ballot measure that would have expanded rent control across the state. Additionally, Jay provides five key indicators showing why new apartment supply will remain constrained for the foreseeable future — and what that could mean for the market. Later in the program, Jay continues the supply conversation with Paul Thrift, CEO of Thompson Thrift, the nation's 13th-largest apartment developer. Paul shares how Thompson Thrift is navigating the challenging headwinds to continue an aggressive push to start new apartment projects across the country.
