NMHC 50:
“The Great Recovery”
Following “The Great Recession”
By Mark Obrinsky, Vice President of Research and Chief Economist, National Multi Housing Council
OVERVIEW
E
xactly one year ago, this article was titled “Apartment Industry Challenged by Great Recession.” What
a difference a year makes. The apartment industry made a surprising recovery in 2010 from the
aforementioned recession. Like all commercial real estate sectors, apartments have traditionally been
a lagging industry, and the rather modest improvement in the economy had suggested a more muted pickup
in apartment demand. Instead, the popularity of renting increased to its highest level since 1998—with
the share of households who rent rising to 33.4 percent by year-end—and occupancy rates rose across the
country. Net absorptions were also strong and rents increased as well (though not yet enough to fully offset
the previous decline). The modest improvement in employment led to some “un-coupling” of households,
but demand was mainly fueled by new households being formed coupled with reduced resident turnover
(especially move-outs to homeownership).
Meanwhile, starts of new multifamily buildings remained at historically low levels, while completions—
which lag new starts—fell by 43 percent. They will likely set an all-time low in 2011. In large part this stems
from the continued difficulty in obtaining construction financing. The combination of a demand surge and
reduced new supply foreshadows further gains in occupancy and rents in the next two years. With other
commercial real estate sectors not as far along in their recovery, equity capital has shown increasing inter-
est in apartment investment; the Equity Financing Index in the January 2011 NMHC Quarterly Survey of
Apartment Market Conditions rose to a record high of 74, with the highest percentage ever (52 percent) of
respondents saying they had greater access to equity capital than late last year.
Transaction Boom
Not surprisingly, transaction volume rebounded as well, more than doubling to $31 billion. While still
a far cry from the condo conversion-fueled boom of 2005-2007, it’s a strong gain in the context of tighter
financing conditions. On the plus side, the debt finance markets also took a few steps toward a more normal-
ized environment, as life insurance companies got back into the market and even the CMBS market showed
signs of life. Still, the industry continues to rely heavily on the GSEs and FHA for support.
After being dragged down by 30 percent or more during the recession and financial crisis, apartment
property prices recovered substantial ground in 2010. Correspondingly, cap rates on apartments have come
down 50 basis points from the peak in mid-2009.
The total number of apartments owned by firms in the NMHC 50 owners list is 7.7 percent greater than
the number managed by the top 50 managers. The
mean and median portfolios among the owners are NMHC 50 PROFILE 2011
also larger than the mean and median management
portfolios. Nonetheless, the top management firm has Portfolio Size:
a larger portfolio than the top owner firm, and the No. of Apartments Owned 2,933,672
entry threshold for NMHC 50 managers is higher than No. of Apartments Managed 2,722,894
that for the NMHC 50 owners. Thirty-three firms on
the management list have at least 30,000, but fewer Minimum Entry Threshold:
than 50,000, apartments. By contrast, only 19 firms on No. of Apartments Owner 25,002
the owners list are in that range. No. of Apartments Managed 28,085

This year’s survey asked some general questions about business type and geographic location of their apartments. Forty-two firms
indicated they own market-rate apartments, 33 firms own tax credit or affordable units and 18 firms have senior housing apartments.
The most popular region among top 50 owners is the South Atlantic, where all but four firms own apartments. Of course, the South
Atlantic also has the most apartments.

REITs in the Rankings

T
he 2011 NMHC 50 owners list includes 10 REITs, the same number as last
year. The total apartment holdings by REITs in the NMHC 50 decreased, how-
ever, and the REIT share of the overall market fell to 3.4 percent, the lowest
level since 1997, when it was
2.3 percent. This decline appears

While not perfect—ownership
of non-apartment assets can
substantially affect overall firm value—it provides a useful perspective on relative size
among apartment firms.

APARTMENT MANAGERS
There were fewer changes among the NMHC top 50 managers. Only two new firms made the list, and the same firms from
last year’s top ten made up the 2011 top ten as well, albeit with some changed rankings. The biggest change was the new
leader: on the strength of a sizable net increase
in its management portfolio (a gain of 33,541
apartments), Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC
TOP 10 APARTMENT MANAGEMENT FIRMS
became the largest apartment manager in the Rank Company No. of
country. Riverstone Residential Group remained Apartments Managed
in the No. 2 slot, with last year’s biggest manage- 1 Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC 187,360

from last year, as did WinnCompanies (No. 7) and
5 Equity Residential 129,604
Archstone (No. 8).
Besides Greystar, the biggest portfolio gainers 6 AIMCO 117,119
were newcomer CAPREIT, WinnCompanies and 7 WinnCompanies 84,817
The Laramar Group, LLC. Laramar was also the 8 Archstone 81,613

ing up 19 places to the No. 24 slot. JRK Property 10 Bell Partners Inc. 60,182
Holdings, Inc. and McKinley, Inc. also moved up
the rankings ladder substantially.
One key characteristic of today’s apartment management landscape is the large number of similar-sized firms just outside
the top ten. The No. 11 firm (FPI Management, Inc.) manages 58,604 apartments, while the No. 50 firm manages 28,085 apart-
ments, a difference of 30,519. By comparison, the management portfolio of the top firm is 91,185 units larger than that of the
No. 10 firm. Another measure of just how tightly bunched the middle of the rankings list is: Gables Residential increased the
number of apartments under management (by 263 units), yet still fell in the rankings by 4 slots.

METHODOLOGY
For the second straight year, the National Multi Housing Council partnered with Kingsley Associates to handle the NMHC 50 survey pro-
cess (though NMHC remains solely responsible for any errors). To compile the NMHC 50 lists, both organizations gather names of owners
and managers from as wide a range of sources as possible and contacts staff from each firm who complete the survey online. Over the years,
improved outreach and increased publicity associated with the rankings has resulted in more firms responding to the survey.
For the purposes of this survey, investment fund managers are treated as owners only if they retain substantial equity in the apartment
property or if they maintain effective responsibility and decision-making over the investment property. Similarly, tax credit syndicators and
franchisers are regarded as owners only if they retain a fiduciary responsibility. (When firms function strictly as advisers rather than investors,
they are not regarded as owners.)
The rankings do not distinguish between partial and full ownership. Some firms own sizable apartment properties through joint ventures
in which their share could range anywhere from 1 to 99 percent. Others are primarily the sole owners of their apartments. In principle, it would
be desirable to account for partial ownership—treating 50 percent ownership of 100 apartments as equivalent to full ownership of 50 units, for
example. In practice, it is not feasible to make such distinctions.
The survey excludes condominiums, cooperatives, hotel rooms, nursing homes, hospital rooms, mobile homes and houses with rental units.
Rental housing for seniors (age-restricted apartments) is included, although assisted living and congregate care facilities are not. Finally, since
we measure industry concentration by comparing the top 50 owners and managers against the nation’s entire apartment stock, only U.S. apart-
ments are included.
At times, a firm may debut on the NMHC 50 at a high level. Generally, this means the firm is responding to the survey for the first time,
rather than an indication of an outsized portfolio gain—although that, too, happens on occasion. Nonetheless, despite many improvements
and everyone’s best efforts, the process remains imperfect: it relies on both accurate reporting and surveying of the complete universe, both of
which can be fraught with problems.
There are two caveats in comparing the lists over time. First, the definition was refined in 2006 to eliminate those invest-
ment fund managers with neither substantial equity nor effective control over the investment property. Second, occasionally firms
that have previously been among the top 50 owners or managers have not responded to the NMHC survey. This year, both Crow
Holdings and GE Real Estate—firms that are likely large enough to make the ownership NMHC 50—declined to participate. As a
result, two other companies appear on the list that otherwise might not have been large enough. In addition, this affects the total
number of apartments owned by the top 50 firms, as well as other measures of concentration such as the mean and median portfo-
lio size. (Note that this did not affect the management list.) For these reasons, year-to-year comparisons must be made with great care.

A Familiar Face
Returns to Multifamily
He’s back.
March 8, 2010 was a landmark date for prominent real estate
investor Andrew L. Farkas — and arguably for the apartment sector
as well. The day marked Farkas’ return to apartment investment a
decade after selling his previous mega-portfolio.
Farkas’ return to the field was as splashy as his exit back in the
late 1990s.
Affiliates of the Island Capital investment organization that
Farkas heads on that day closed acquisitions of various assets of the
struggling Centerline Holding Co. These include the commercial
mortgage special servicing and mortgage-backed securities fund
management divisions now operating under Island’s C-III Capital
Partners unit. They also include a stake in fee-based multifamily
finance originations and servicing, tax-credit equity fund manage-
ment and related asset-management divisions still operating under
the Centerline Capital Group name, which ranks No. 2 on the
NMHC 50 Owners list.
In conjunction with the transaction, the Island Capital affiliate Andrew L. Farkas
known as Anubis Advisors, made up of key Island brain-trusters, Chairman and CEO of Island Capital
now acts as external management advisor to both Centerline and
C-III.
As was the case with his Insignia Financial Group back in the
late 1980s and early 1990s, Farkas now aims to build a large port-
folio of apartments and other assets by exploiting opportunities
related to financial distress in the income-property arena.
Farkas describes his re-entry into the multifamily field as repli-
cating Insignia’s strategy adapted for the prevailing environment.
But this time around he wants to gain control of assets by initially
targeting the debt side rather than picking up ownership interests
as he did back then.
TARGETING COLLATERAL ASSETS

More specifically, through C-III’s special servicing and CMBS fund
management activities, he aims to take control of collateral assets
underlying loans securitized mostly during the 2005-07 bubble
years.
“The equity lives inside the securitization today,” says Farkas,
who amassed some 350,000 apartments under the Insignia umbrel-
la while still in his 30s. “Back then we acquired portfolios by
acquiring controlling classes of the [corresponding] equity secu-
rity:” general partner interests in limited partnerships, managing
member positions in limited liability companies and the like.
But a decade into the new century — and now that he’s hit the
half-century mark — Farkas and his longtime teammates want to
“control the controlling classes of the debt security,” he explains.
“The true ownership of equity is somewhere inside the CMBS
stack.”
Can Farkas and company succeed in the prevailing environment

as they did in the ’90s? Even after a decade away from the domestic
apartment sector — he’s been off acquiring yachting lifestyle des-
tinations and marinas around the globe — Farkas commands no
shortage of peer respect.
David Woodward, CEO of fast-growing apartment owner-oper-
ator Laramar Group, points to other notable investors who have
since emulated Farkas’ move by investing in large special servicers.
For instance, Cerberus Capital Management, Oaktree Capital
Management and Vornado Realty Trust helped recapitalize LNR
Partners’ parent company, and Fortress Investment Group bought
CWCapital.
“It seems everyone has their eye on Island as they’re determining
how to proceed” when it comes to controlling real estate through
special servicing rights and B-piece positions, Woodward adds.
“Farkas is known as a savvy player, so if the opportunity is there,
the thinking is he’ll find a way to make it work.”
The Centerline deal appears to give Farkas a promising combi-
nation of assets and platforms.
C-III took on special servicing responsibilities covering some
$110 billion in commercial mortgages held in 80-plus CMBS
securitizations. The transaction also brought Centerline’s former
position in subordinate “first loss” tranches, known as B-pieces, of
those CMBS bond issues, with combined face values of about $3.1
billion.
GROWTH STRATEGY
Where it makes economic sense and is in the best interests of
CMBS bond-holder trusts, the C-III
team will look to convert control
of those B-piece tranches into con-
trol of financially distressed apart-
ment properties and other real estate,
Farkas is quick to acknowledge.
Indeed, a primary component of
the near-term growth strategy entails
securing and exercising special-ser-

vicer options to acquire distressed
assets at independently calculated
“fair values” – but, again, just in
select cases where that’s the best reso-
lution for bond-holders.
“This gives us the opportunity to
make investments in defaulted assets,”
Farkas relates.
And it appears to be an attractive
environment to pursue that strat-
egy – again, given how far CMBS
conduit lenders stretched in funding
loans during the bubble years. A huge

APRIL 2011
Initially launched with $5.5 million in investor capital Farkas arranged,

the operation that became Insignia Financial leaped into prominence
nationally when it acquired nearly all the assets of big apartment syn-
dicator U.S. Shelter Corp. on the last day of 1990. Insignia went public
the following year and ultimately evolved into one of the world’s biggest
owner-operators with 350,000 apartment units.
When the economy was booming a couple of years before the dot-
com bubble burst, Insignia sold most of that portfolio to public REIT
Apartment Investment & Management Co. (AIMCO) for approximately
$11 billion, including the combined capitalization of all the assets that
traded hands. The rapid growth didn’t come without at least a bit of
controversy, however: Insignia ultimately came to a settlement over alle-
gations of improper fee-splitting arrangements covering HUD-financed
apartments, agreeing to repay more than $7 million in management fees
HUD had paid Insignia.
Looking forward, the Farkas team expects to devote considerable
resources in executing C-III’s and Centerline’s various multifamily strate-
gies in coming years.
TARGETING DISTRESSED PROPERTIES

C-III began actively acquiring distressed properties through its special
servicing activities in late 2010, with a handful closed by mid-February.
“And we’ve got a bunch more teed up,” Farkas notes.
As C-III is now special servicer for CMBS deals with security interests
in all sorts of commercial real estate collateral, the team expects to take
control of office, retail and hospitality assets in addition to apartments.
“We will look to aggregate significant portfolios of each and [when the
timing is right] seek exit strategies.”
Apartments will be a primary thrust: “Obviously multifamily is an asset
class in which we have some degree of comfort,” Farkas understates.
If some market participants have expressed concerns that C-III, as
special servicer, will look to take control of assets rather than pursue
mutually favorable workouts with borrowers, Farkas points to the rules
of the game.
“We will always do what’s in the best interests of (CMBS) certificate
holders; that’s our responsibility,” he stresses. “If it’s determined that the
best-case outcome is through some liquidity strategy that involves sale of
an asset, we’d look at that prospect.”
As for the recapitalized Centerline operations, the tax-credit syndica-
tion operation – the nation’s second-largest apartment owner with inter-
ests in some 152,600 units at year-end – in mid-February closed its latest
nearly $120 million multi-investor fund. After a considerable dip in tax-
credit equity raising during the 2008-09 period, that space is “returning
from its lull” and becoming more competitive, Farkas observes.
He’s optimistic about Centerline’s affordable-housing financing origi-
nations businesses as well, given that the Obama Administration isn’t
about to pursue dramatic program cuts even while looking to rein in the
federal deficit. “The form that affordable-housing financing might take
may be up in air,” Farkas observes, “but it’s a certainty that it will be a
public (function).”
There is, he says, inherent value in solid platforms for originating and
servicing on behalf of Fannie and Freddie — or the entities that succeed
them.

New Faces
T
he 2011 NMHC 50 Managers roster features two firms that experi-
enced exceptional portfolio growth last year. CAPREIT, Inc. made
its splashy debut at No. 42 after more than doubling its portfolio to
31,000-some units. And Laramar Group moved up an impressive 19 slots to
No. 24 as its portfolio grew by some 11,000 units to more than 40,500.
However, Laramar’s and CAPREIT’s growth came via contrasting strate-
gies. Both reflect opportunities exploited by some of the savviest apartment
operators in the prevailing market. While Laramar grew piecemeal mostly
by taking over distressed properties for new clients, CAPREIT’s portfolio
expansion came via a particularly transformative transaction.
Laramar’s big jump is in great part a result of its strategic initiative
to handle more short-term apartment property management and related
engagements at distressed assets on behalf of lenders and special servicers, David Woodward
explains David Woodward, the company’s Denver-based Managing Partner Mananging Partner and CEO
and CEO. of the Laramar Group, LLC
And the strategy senior executives adopted a couple of years back paid
particularly large dividends in 2010. Laramar augmented its client roster
with some household-name lenders, such as Wells Fargo and Citigroup,
along with top-tier special servicers including LNR Partners, CWCapital,
C-III Capital and Midland Loan Services.
Laramar can also offer these customers services such as receiverships,
due diligence and the construction management frequently needed at
REOs and otherwise distressed prop-
erties. Indeed, Laramar is already act-
ing as receiver for properties totaling
upwards of 9,000 units in 12 states.
“And that part of the portfo- Ginkgo Residential is new in name only.

to stabilize occupancies, expenses and
income streams.
The initial wave of distressed prop-
erties included plenty of “thinly under-

written” D+ and C- assets, Woodward
recalls. But the latest distressed addi-
tions to Laramar’s portfolio are more
often in the B quality range, many of Communities in: A L A B A M A | F L O R I DA | G E O R G I A | M A RY L A N D | M I S S O U R I

them in reasonable operational shape
but with owners unable to fully refi-
nance maturing mortgages in the pre-
vailing credit environment, he adds.
Fortunately, the firm was well pre-
APRIL 2011
pared to take on these tough assignments, as Laramar has traditionally oper-

ated properties across much of the quality and price-point spectrums.
Another challenge: given that these assignments typically culminate in
preparing properties for dispositions or, in some cases, financial work-
outs, they’re mostly short-term in nature. The trick is to make sure the
new relationships last a lot longer than the distressed-asset engagements,
Woodward stresses. And that’s clearly the case with CWCapital, for whom
Laramar has become the servicer’s largest multifamily fee manager.
“We got in early with some of the big servicers, and now we’re one of
their go-to managers,” Woodward relates. “We’re very happy with where
we’re positioned with lenders and servicers; this gives us unique access to
properties.” Dick Kadish
Laramar has traditionally overseen apartment communities for long- President of CAPREIT, Inc.
term holders, including institutional investors such as Prudential Real
Estate and Henderson Global. And the firm’s internal, fully invested fund,
dubbed Laramar Multi-Family Value Fund, accounts for some 8,000 units
under management (a follow-up fund is scheduled to close later this
year).
A dozen or so new distressed-asset relationships would make Laramar’s
management portfolio about as large as Woodward cares to see it.
Concerned about potential “diseconomies” of a large-scale, multi-market
operation, Woodward isn’t aiming to boost Laramar’s management portfo-
lio beyond approximately 75,000 units in 30 markets.
“I’d say 50,000 to 75,000 units is the perfect size for us. You start getting
larger than that and it can be hard to turn the ship” when market dynamics
necessitate limber strategic responses, Woodward explains.
Laramar’s management portfolio is quickly approaching the 50,000-unit
mark. That includes 8,000 units in the Bay Area alone, with 5,000 in San
Francisco proper. While the firm usually sticks with communities of 100 or
more units, success in a market like San Francisco can require a cluster of
smaller projects.
Indeed, Laramar’s portfolio in the bayside city averages fewer than 40
apartments per property. Several are REOs previously controlled by Lembi
Group interests.
Now, Woodward and company aim to replicate that portfolio growth
strategy in New York City, where the company last year launched an opera- Laramar Managed Fillmore
tion to serve clients, as well as in Boston and Philadelphia. Woodward and Center in San Francisco, CA
associates recruited veteran David Sorise from The Dermot Co. to head the
new regional office.
ONE FELL SWOOP

As founder and owner Richard “Dick” Kadish explains, Rockville, Md.-
based CAPREIT’s growth last year likewise reflects a strategy pursued for a
couple of recession-rocked years. But in CAPREIT’s case, nearly the entire
portfolio expansion came via a single transaction that ultimately took
much of two years to complete.
A CAPREIT affiliate teamed with Morrison Grove Capital Advisors to
take over management of Credit Suisse Group’s approximately 240-prop-
erty, 15,000-plus-unit portfolio of tax-credit apartments. CAPREIT, which
also part-owns and asset-manages other tax-credit, conventional and
tax-exempt bond-financed properties, logically handles the hands-on

property-level work, while Morrison Grove oversees the tax-credit investor

relationships.
Kadish and his Morrison teammates were all too aware that their team was
competing against 15 or so other qualified suitors for the portfolio. One key
factor in securing the deal came when Credit Suisse engaged CAPREIT to
asset manage a couple of the struggling properties.
“Fortunately, we were able to turn around distressed situations into
money-making operations by employing standard real estate management
techniques and concentrated efforts,” Kadish recalls.
One small property actually lacked a general partner, property manager
and loan guarantor when CAPREIT took over. It also lacked tax-credit com-
pliance approval for three years running. The new manager was able to resolve
all those issues and boost occupancy from roughly 65 percent to completely
full in just 63 days.
Still, it took well over a year to win the competition and several more
months to close the deal – on the last day of 2010.
Doubling CAPREIT’s management portfolio in one fell swoop certainly
presented challenges. But, fortunately, the CAPREIT/Morrison venture
retained much of Credit Suisse’s professional team working on the portfolio.
“So nothing was lost in transition,” as Kadish puts it.
Kadish cites CAPREIT’s extensive affordable-housing program compliance
policies and procedures as instrumental to winning and closing the Credit
Suisse deal. “Much to our benefit we
had very good relationships with the
housing finance agencies in the states
where the portfolio properties are
located.”
Kadish is now looking to further
grow CAPREIT’s portfolio with addi-
tional transactions along the lines of
the Credit Suisse deal.
“Our biggest advocate, if you will, is
the professionals on the Credit Suisse
side who’ve seen us in action,” Kadish
relates. “That’s the biggest recommen-
dation we can make to (would-be
sellers): go and ask these people how
we’ve performed.”

APRIL 2011
Revisiting the Number Ones

N
ot long ago, public REITs sought identity as consolidators, but two giants
once topping the NMHC 50 Owners list have shrunk in recent years,
although they remain in the top 10. Still, executives at both AIMCO and
Equity Residential are more optimistic about the profitability prospects ahead
than they were when their portfolios exceeded 225,000 units.
AIMCO’s portfolio, now at about 111,000 (No. 7), is half the size it was a
half-decade back. And Equity Residential, at just under 130,000 (No. 5), has shed
roughly 100,000 units since its portfolio peak. Meanwhile, the recapitalized tax-
credit syndicator now known as Centerline Capital Group has seen its portfolio
shrink even further, from a peak of some 325,000 units down to 152,600 at year-
end (but No. 2, nonetheless).
Some noteworthy trends, at least in part stemming from the recession, are David Neithercut
apparently prompting some of the biggest publicly traded apartment owner- President and CEO
operators to right-size. of Equity Residential
REITs, in particular, in recent years have generally concluded that efficiencies
of scale have limits. Yes, bulk buying power can generate discounts on supplies
and services, but it doesn’t improve profitability as much as a portfolio focused on
product offerings and markets where management boasts competitive expertise.
“Over the past few years, we’ve significantly streamlined and refocused” the
company and its portfolio, longtime AIMCO Chairman/CEO Terry Considine
stressed during the company’s latest quarterly conference call. Like many other
large apartment REITs, AIMCO has sold many of its communities with an eye
toward focusing on its core markets and strongest properties, added Executive
Vice President John Bezzant.
Likewise, Equity Residential’s portfolio continued shrinking last year in terms
of units owned, but the quality improved via strategic dispositions and invest-
ments, said CEO David Neithercut. Equity Residential acquired nearly 4,500
units for combined consideration of about $1.5 billion during the year, while also
selling another 7,171 apartments — primarily non-strategic assets in non-core
markets — for a total of $718.4 million. Jeff Goldstein
As Neithercut also noted, many REITs facing large-scale secured and unsecured Executive Vice President
debt maturities sold properties to raise cash and shore up balance sheets during of Boston Capital
2008 and 2009, particularly when credit markets were so dysfunctional.
While that became less of an issue for many REITs a year ago as credit condi-
tions improved, the impact is that prior strategic moves improved balance sheets
as portfolios shrank, as AIMCO’s Considine is quick to point out. “Recourse debt
was largely eliminated, costs were lowered, near-term maturities were reduced,
and liquidity and capacity were increased.”
The quest to deleverage was clearly more pronounced among public compa-
nies and appears to have pulled many private tax-credit syndicators to the top of
the nation’s roster of largest apartment owners, observes Jeff Goldstein, Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Boston Capital, the reigning top
owner with just under 159,000 units.
Private syndicators just don’t face the kinds of shareholder pressures public
REITs do to de-lever and meet quarterly financial targets through active disposi-
tions, he adds: “We can be far more patient.”
Indeed, affordable-housing specialists, primarily tax-credit syndicators, now
hold the top four slots, and six of the top eight.
SYNDICATORS DOMINATE
TOP TIER
So even as the average size of the industry’s largest portfolios has generally
become smaller in recent years, it’s no great surprise to Goldstein and other pros

that syndicators have come to dominate the upper tier. Even though tax-credit equity
raising fell off during the recession, it became about the most reliable source of capital
amid the credit crunch.
Rounding out the leading quintet in addition to Equity Residential, Centerline
and stalwart Boston Capital (this is the 20th straight year that Boston Capital has
been in the top 10 of the NMHC 50 Owners) are No. 3 Boston Financial Investment
Management, LP at about 144,500 and SunAmerica Affordable Housing, Inc. at a bit
over 141,000.
Several other affordable specialists also ranked among the companies experiencing
the strongest growth over the course of 2010. These include No. 8 National Equity
Fund, Inc., whose portfolio grew by more than 6,600 units; No. 10 Richman Group
Affordable Housing Corporation (growth of more than 4,500 units); and No. 12
Alliant Capital, Ltd. (growth of nearly 5,000 units).
Another reason so many syndicators top the NMHC 50 Owners list is that tax-credit
compliance life-cycles tend to minimize rapid market-driven property and portfolio
dispositions, notes Ken Cutillo, Boston Financial’s CEO. Investors seeking full compli-
ance benefits need to stick with these investments for 15 years, he explains.
But compliance life-cycles during certain periods can likewise end up generating
growth in syndicator portfolios – as is the case today, adds Goldstein. A lot of investors
coming out of expiring compliance periods stemming from the deal-heavy mid-1990s
are now looking to redeploy capital into new tax-credit ventures, he explains.
Despite the recessionary decline in tax-credit equity raising, capital has still flowed
into affordable-housing ventures, Goldstein continues. Banks might be leery of real
estate lending, but they’re still motivated by Community Reinvestment Act obliga-
tions, he elaborates.
Boston Capital, Centerline Capital Group and Boston Financial Investment
Management, LP have all been working on sizable new tax-credit equity funds, pro-
ceeds of which will help them augment their respective portfolios. Boston Capital
closed a $305 million fund last October,
and Cutillo says Boston Financial is on
track to raise another $250 million to
$300 million this year. (Two years ago

been growing.
Indeed, a half-decade back, only half the companies ranked No. 11 through
No. 20 could boast 50,000 or more units. Today they all can.
Likewise, No. 21 through No. 30 owned roughly 33,000 to 43,000 apartments.
Today the comparables are 41,000 to 50,000. Nine of the 10 from No. 31 through
No. 40 held 30,000 or fewer units five years ago; today nine of the 10 own 30,000
or more.
And none of the companies ranked No. 41 through No. 50 owned more than
23,000 apartments five years ago. Today they hold between 24,000 and 29,000,
roughly.
As for those public REITs formerly holding the top slot, their respective leaders
see more productive days ahead – but not necessarily larger portfolios. Ken Cutillo
Considine reiterated that AIMCO’s brain trust continues striving to squeeze Chief Executive Officer
better operating margins out of the right-sized portfolio. of Boston Financial
“Our conventional same-store operating margin actually improved during the
Great Recession to better than 61 percent,” he said.
Added Bezzant: “We are recycling capital through the portfolio, and we have
aggressively focused (on) selling off the bottom of the portfolio.”
At Equity Residential, Neithercut stressed that as the company looks to grow
again through offensive-minded development ventures and strategic acquisi-
tions, the management team won’t hesitate to sell additional seasoned holdings
if offers are compelling.
Dispositions, in fact, will likely exceed acquisitions this year: with guidance
calling for some $1.25 billion of the former compared to $1 billion of the latter.
As for AIMCO’s plans: “We see more attractive investment opportunities
within our existing portfolio,” concludes Considine.
