US garden apartment investments are offering outsized return potential—but access remains a challenge.
The garden apartment subtype of the apartment sector is producing very encouraging total returns for property investors, beating all sector returns outside of industrial. The outperformance of garden apartments prevailed throughout 2021, but over the twenty-year average as well.
However, such properties have also not traditionally been held by institutional investors, which have historically focused more of their apartment holdings on high-rise properties where new construction is more plentiful.
On this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, recorded July 13, 2022, Martha Peyton, Managing Director of Real Assets Applied Research at Aegon Asset Management sat down with AFIRE CEO and podcast host Gunnar Branson to discuss her recent Summit Journal article to talk about the performance and the unique challenges of garden apartments.
