Attainability- the state of something being achievable by a specified entity or group. What makes housing attainable? How is attainable housing different from affordable housing? How do attainability factors differently impact single-family, townhome, and multifamily projects? And, how can design and planning decisions enhance the attainability of a housing development and improve outcomes for developers and residents alike? These questions and more will be open for discussion tomorrow at the LinkedIn page of DTJ DESIGN, Inc. and moderated by our housing experts Brian Ryckman, Joseph Sammartino, and Dave Williams. Join the conversation starting at 11 am EDT in the comment section and check back through 2 pm EDT for the continuing dialogue! #housing #attainability #workforce #multifamily #architecture #landscapearchitecture #planning

Small-scale developers have a highly profitable opportunity in constructing and selling multi-family homes. These residential properties, which consist of two or more separate units within a single building, have become increasingly popular due to their affordability and versatility. This trend has been gaining momentum in recent years, and for good reason. Developers can reap incredible financial rewards by investing in multi-family homes while providing much-needed housing options for families and individuals.

Another data set that was shared on a housing forum to showcase just how much new hosuing Minneapolis has allowed, in this case versus the Providence, RI area. Cities like Minneapolis and Austin have continued to build more housing beyond demand, leading to stabilizations and decreases in housing costs. Unfortunately, many of our legacy cities have fallen behind, which leads to increases in housing costs and doesn't address demand. #urbanplanning #housing

We all know the market situation right now - between rising costs and bidding wars, it feels like owning a home is just a dream. I see the sinking feeling every day, and it has got me thinking: how can we make affordable housing a reality for more people? We need creative solutions like: 1) Thinking outside the box: Tiny homes, co-living spaces, and micro-apartments could be game-changers for urban living. Get innovative with space utilization. 2) Building community: Partnering with local governments and builders to develop affordable housing projects is a great way. We need to build more homes, not just luxury condos. 3) Empowering buyers: Education and financial literacy are crucial. Equipping first-time buyers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the market is like giving them a map of their dream home. It is all about building a future where everyone has a safe and secure place to call their own. #AffordableHousing #RealEstateMarket #CreativeSolutions

The announcement that NYC made a few days ago was HUGE! More municipalities need to make "impact" decisions when it comes to code, zoning and usage. Cities and states with budgets that allow should look at offering financial incentives to developers to build in areas that get overlooked but have strong demand as well. #housingmarket #development #demand #residentialrealestate #homebuilding #homeownership #americandream #innovation #cut #redtape

Big changes ahead in Austin's housing landscape! The City Council passed phase one of the HOME initiative, signaling a major shift in housing options for single-family lots. This move aims to address our city's evolving housing needs in a fast-growing metro area. The discussions around HOME sparked debates on density and displacement, leaving many split on potential outcomes. With phase one allowing up to three housing units and easing tiny home construction, it's a pivotal step forward. Stay tuned as phase two promises more starter homes for the younger generation. The impact of these changes on affordability remains debated, but the city's focus on housing solutions continues to evolve.
