Apartment developers going back to Washington
Glut of rentals is seen to be easing as employment improves
Washington
THE Washington, DC, apartment market - after years of overbuilding that created a glut of rentals - is getting a new round of development by some of the country's biggest real estate companies as employment improves.
Toll Brothers Inc's apartment division will more than double its stock in the area in the next three years. Camden Property Trust has 862 units under construction and is under contract to buy land for a 365-unit project. AvalonBay Communities Inc, the No 2 publicly traded multifamily landlord, is raising its bet on an up-and-coming neighbourhood where it acquired an existing building in 2012.
