Multifamily Units Feasibility Study

​

Scope of Our Multifamily Feasibility Analysis

Each MMCG feasibility study is calibrated to the specific asset, market, and financing structure. Standard scope includes the following analytical modules.

​

• Market Analysis and Demand Assessment. We quantify rental demand at the submarket level using current lease rate comparables segmented by unit type and bedroom count, historical vacancy and occupancy trends, absorption rates for recently delivered inventory, demographic and employment growth trajectories, and local housing pipeline data. Our market analysis identifies the depth of renter demand relative to proposed and existing supply, enabling informed decisions on unit count, bedroom mix, and rent positioning.

• Financial Projections and Pro Forma Review. We develop detailed operating pro formas that model gross potential revenue, effective gross income after vacancy and concession assumptions, operating expense ratios benchmarked to comparable properties, net operating income stabilization timelines, and debt service coverage under proposed loan terms. Our financial analysis supports both equity return evaluation and lender underwriting by stress-testing assumptions across base, downside, and upside scenarios.

• Site Evaluation and Zoning Analysis. We assess physical site characteristics including parcel size, topography, access, utility infrastructure, environmental constraints, flood zone designation, and proximity to employment centers, transit, retail, and schools. The study also evaluates current zoning entitlements, any required variances or conditional use permits, and the regulatory timeline to project approval.

• Competitive Supply Analysis. We profile the relevant competitive set, analyzing existing apartment communities and projects under construction or in planning within the defined trade area. Competitive analysis covers rent levels, occupancy, unit mix, vintage, amenity packages, concession activity, and management quality. This allows us to identify supply gaps and positioning opportunities for the proposed development.

• Risk Assessment. We evaluate project-specific risks including construction cost escalation, entitlement uncertainty, absorption pace, interest rate sensitivity, and submarket oversupply risk. Each identified risk is paired with a mitigation recommendation, providing developers and lenders with a clear framework for decision-making.
