Now that market has rebounded, Housing Trust is recovering as well, expanding in South Florida, Arizona and Tennessee. The company is building out its roster of multifamily developments and pushing for market-rate projects.

“We’re looking to develop high-end rentals because we’ve seen some very, very strong demand in Dade and Broward over the past two years since the market has recovered,” said Rieger. [Daily Business Review]
