The Multifamily Journal

Kairoi Residential, a premier, vertically integrated multifamily investment, development and property management company, today announced that it has been included in the National Multifamily Housing Council's (NMHC) 2026 ranking of the Top 50 apartment managers, marking the company’s first appearance on the annual list.

Multifamily's top storylines this week are spring cleaning and trash management, multifamily misconceptions, Oregon Supreme Court rules on habitability, the housing gap, slow start to peak, BTR paralyzed by housing bill, navigating regulations, the dark side of automation and Verizon outage exposes risk.

By prioritizing authentic resident voices, operators can move beyond surface-level reputation management and toward something far more valuable: a genuinely positive living experience. And in a market where trust is increasingly hard to earn, that authenticity isn’t just an advantage, it’s a necessity.

In an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape, multifamily operators have several moving pieces to navigate in their efforts to remain compliant. Mill Creek Residential is leaning on technology and innovation to remain ahead of the curve.

About 80% of Americans participate in spring cleaning. Roughly half will purge 11 or more items and about 22% will toss more than 26 items. In addition, the peak leasing is kicking off, which means more trash from arriving and departing residents and an increase in bulk throwaways.

Multifamily's top storylines this week are preleasing begins at Mill Creek's Modera Walsh Heights, rent growth hits a floor, rent control gains momentum with local governments, courting pet owners, brokerages, renting to sole proprietors, running a community n AI, solar barriers and creative's effect on leases.

Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced the start of preleasing at Modera Walsh Heights, a contemporary midrise community in the fast-growing Walsh master-planned development.

Pet-friendliness is one of the ultimate differentiators at rental communities, and the difference is obvious the moment you walk a truly pet-inclusive property. Communities that embrace this reality benefit from stronger renewal rates, more engaged residents and an environment that feels welcoming to a wider pool of renters.
