Apollo Takes Two-Thirds Stake in $2B, 7,059-Unit UDR Apartment Portfolio Through $1.34B Joint Venture
Why this matters
Multifamily has been the most actively underwritten sector through the rate cycle, with cap rate compression resuming in Sun Belt and gateway markets as 2024-2025 deliveries roll off and refinance demand on 2021-vintage bridge loans clears. Transaction velocity is up modestly, concentrated in stabilized Class A and grocery-adjacent garden assets. Denver multifamily concessions are tightening as the 2024 delivery wave clears, and industrial along the I-25 corridor continues to find institutional bids. Allocators continue to favor residential for its income durability and its insulation from secular demand questions that still hang over commercial sectors.
