Kitchen tables became desks in the biggest work from home experiment of all time. Meanwhile, the housing affordability crisis skyrocketed as millions lost income during the pandemic. These trends and more call for transformation in the multi-housing sector.

  • Focus on function: Here's a curveball: larger apartments are increasingly in demand, reversing the trend over the last decade toward smaller units with shared amenities. Renters working from home at least some of the time demand more space and flexibility.
