• Apartment performance in 2014 is exceeding expectations.
• Supply is not having a major impact at the macro level.
• Suburbs and properties with affordable price points are outperforming
• Rent growth and occupancy will moderate in the short term, but the apartment
market will remain strong due to limited availability, demographics, steady job
growth and total residential supply remaining in check
