Multifamily isn’t broken, it’s repricing.

Rising rates, tighter capital, and slower transactions don’t signal the end of the asset class. They signal a return to fundamentals.

This piece breaks down what’s actually happening beneath the headlines, and why disciplined operators are still leaning in.

Investor activity hasn’t stopped. It’s become more selective.

According to CBRE’s 2025 Investor Intentions Survey, multifamily continues to attract the majority of capital as investors prioritize stability, durable demand, and strong fundamentals.

In this environment, returns are increasingly driven by disciplined underwriting, thoughtful market selection, and the ability to execute operationally, not by aggressive assumptions or optimism.

This is the framework we continue to apply at GSH Real Estate as we evaluate opportunities across the cycle.

CBRE’s 2025 outlook mirrors what we’re seeing across our portfolio: supply is peaking, vacancy is tightening, and the foundation is being set for a healthier multifamily cycle ahead.

Construction activity has slowed dramatically compared to recent years, and with renting still far more affordable than owning, demand for apartments remains strong.

At GSH, we continue to focus on disciplined underwriting, operational excellence, and resilient markets.

What makes a multifamily acquisition worth pursuing?

At GSH, every potential investment goes through a rigorous evaluation process.

Here are three core elements that guide our decisions:

1. Location: Is the property in a desirable, growing market? Will future residents want to live there based on the neighborhood and surrounding schools, retail centers, and places of worship?

2. Curb Appeal & Condition: From the exterior appearance to interior finishes, we ask: can we elevate the look and feel of the asset in a way that attracts quality residents?

3. Financial Performance: Do the current numbers leave room for improvement? Can we drive revenue, reduce expenses, and ultimately improve the property's profitability?

When these three align, we know we’re looking at an opportunity worth further consideration.

According to The Wall Street Journal, data centers powering AI models are overwhelming an already overburdened and outdated grid.

Utilities are scrambling to keep up as delays stretch into years, costs skyrocket, and key components like transformers and turbines remain in critically short supply.

The stakes are high: this infrastructure bottleneck risks stalling technological innovation and placing enormous stress on utilities, regulators, and developers alike.

At Charge Capital, we see a solution and are investing in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) - fast-deployable, modular energy assets that help stabilize the grid and unlock flexible power capacity when and where it’s needed most.

Our systems:

- Store energy when it’s cheapest, and sell it during periods of peak demand

- Help offset grid instability caused by surging AI and data center growth

- Offer tax-advantaged, cash-flowing investment opportunities for our partners

As AI, EVs, and renewables push demand to record levels, the U.S. needs smarter energy infrastructure.

That’s exactly where Charge Capital is focused.

Let’s talk about Net Operating Income (NOI) and what it means for investors.

NOI is the total income a property generates after operating expenses, but before debt service.

In short, it tells you how much money a property is making from its operations.

To calculate NOI, take the gross rental income from the property, add in any other income streams (laundry, parking, vending machines, etc.), and subtract operating expenses.

Why does NOI matter?

NOI is a valuation tool that investors and lenders use to determine a property’s value.

By increasing NOI (via increasing income or reducing expenses), you can significantly increase a property's value, cash flow, and overall returns.

As a limited partner, NOI should be a key performance indicator to consider when evaluating an investment opportunity.

In today’s economy, renting is currently outpacing homeownership.

The strong demand for rental housing in many markets is shaped by demographic trends, lifestyle preferences, and affordability challenges, all of which multifamily properties are well-positioned to meet.

Younger generations, burdened by high housing costs and student debt, are increasingly opting to rent. Meanwhile, urbanization and changing demographics are further fueling the appeal of renting, thanks to its flexibility and affordability.

As a result, we expect the demand for rental housing to continue its ascending trajectory.

Furthermore, individuals unable to afford homeownership or Class-A rentals are likely to seek more affordable rental options, making multifamily affordable housing an appealing asset class for investors.

GSH Full-Cycle Case Study: Glengarry Park

Glengarry Park is a three-story, 300-unit apartment community centrally located in the heart of Oakland County, Michigan.

Initially purchased by GSH Group in Q4 of 2019 for $22.6 million, the property was sold at the end of June 2024 for $31.35 million, achieving an impressive IRR of over 18%.

The success of this investment is attributed to GSH’s robust value-add program and management optimization practices.

Over the 4.5 years of ownership, GSH invested $2.5 million in capital improvements, including unit upgrades, exterior work, and beautification of the property grounds. In September 2022, GSH refinanced the asset, returning 30% of the original equity to its investors.

These efforts resulted in a 26.8%, or $404,000, increase in NOI, and an average rental rate increase of 27.3% above the rates upon acquisition. Despite facing significant challenges from COVID-19 and inflation, Glengarry Park performed in line with the business plan, generating a deal-based IRR of slightly above 18%.
