BY THE NUMBERS

CHICAGO—Apartment developers in Chicagoland continue to create new units at a record pace. After completing more than 9,000 new apartments in 2016, developers will finish another 8,580 this year, well above the 15-year average, according to a new market report from Marcus & Millichap. This total will exceed the demand, the report adds, and that will raise vacancy to 5.1%, after an 80 bps increase last year. The average effective rent will increase in 2017 to $1,422 per month, outpacing last year's gain of 4%.
