🧭 Market Watch 

Oxford, Mississippi Builds Momentum

Oxford is attracting multifamily developers with stable university-driven demand and favorable lending conditions. A recent 200-unit development signals a broader trend of institutional interest in mid-sized college towns. The city’s zoning flexibility, steady population growth, and walkability make it a prime location for long-term residential investments.

🧾 Rule of the Day 

True Occupancy

True Occupancy refers to the actual number of units generating revenue, not just those physically occupied. It accounts for rent concessions, skip payments, and lease breakage.

Formula: (Total Revenue-Producing Units Ć· Total Rentable Units) Ɨ 100

This metric gives owners a better picture of income stability than basic physical occupancy. It’s often used during refinancing or when evaluating NOI accuracy.

🌱 Green Build

Climate-Ready Design, Data-Backed

A new open dataset published by Nature reveals building-level insights into flood risk, energy resilience, and urban heat in multifamily housing. The dataset helps developers identify where retrofits like cool roofs, stormwater systems, or green insulation will have the most impact. With climate adaptation now a requirement in many states, this type of data is becoming central to long-term building viability. Know more.
