Episode Description

Join hosts Alex Thompson and Jordan Chen for this week's roundup of the most significant developments in multifamily real estate.

On today's episode, we explore a flurry of major deal activity from July 28th, including Sky Equity Group's massive $340M refinancing in Brooklyn's Gowanus neighborhood and MacArthur Holdings' $123M financing package for another Gowanus Canal project.

We also cover notable completions and groundbreakings across the country, from Jefferson Apartment Group's 500-unit J Centra Burlington community in New Jersey to NHP Foundation's first Colorado project—a crucial 54-unit affordable housing development in the mountain town of Frisco.

Plus, dive into the technology and amenity trends reshaping the resident experience in 2025. From AI-powered leasing agents and predictive maintenance systems that can reduce costs by up to 25%, to wellness-focused design features like meditation rooms and innovative rooftop activations that are transforming multifamily properties into lifestyle destinations.

This episode is brought to you by Sunrise Signs, where every sign tells a story — including yours.

If you're a multifamily developer, you already know how messy signage can get when it's left to the last minute — missed deadlines, failed inspections, and signs that don't reflect your vision.

That's why Sunrise Signs created The Developer Sign-Off Package™ — a 100% done-for-you signage system designed to get you to your Certificate of Occupancy without surprises.

From code-critical unit IDs to custom monument signs, we map every sign to your blueprints, generate a full scope and message schedule, and coordinate with your entire team — so there's no last-minute chaos, just a seamless path to project completion.
