"Denver's continued economic expansion provided sold support for the local apartment market in the third quarter," the report says. The overall vacancy rate had dropped slightly to 3.4%, down from 3.6% a year ago. "Demand excelled as 3,879 units were absorbed, up from 2,899 units absorbed one year ago," according to the report.
Developers had pulled permits for 3,364 units in the third quarter as a result of concerns that a no-growth constitutional amendment would be passed by voters in November. In third quarter 1999, there had been applications for 2,235 units.
Boulder County, home of the University of Colorado's main campus, had the lowest vacancies and highest rents. The vacancy rate stood at a mere 1.5% in Boulder County, compared to 3.8% a year ago, and the average monthly rent was $926, up from $873 in 1999, the report shows.
