Pooler’s proximity to Savannah positions the development to capture demand driven by regional population growth and economic diversification, factors that continue to underpin multifamily fundamentals in secondary metros. The scale and luxury positioning of the project suggest that capital remains accessible for higher-end product, reflecting lender and equity appetite for well-located multifamily assets with potential for rent growth and tenant retention. This move also underscores the ongoing institutional preference for suburban multifamily developments, which benefit from shifting demographic preferences and relative affordability compared to primary urban cores.
