Build-to-Rent gains momentum in Twin Cities suburbs — Northmarq’s Pete O’Neil featured in Star Tribune

The Minnesota Star Tribune recently explored the rapid growth of build-to-rent communities in Twin Cities suburbs as developers respond to shifting housing demand. These communities are attracting renters who want more space and a neighborhood feel, especially empty nesters and families priced out of homeownership.
Northmarq’s Pete O’Neil points out that build-to-rent is gaining momentum because it meets consumers where they are financially while still delivering many of the benefits of owning a home. His perspective reinforces that this product type is moving from a niche offering to a more established part of the suburban housing mix.
