BEAVERTON, OR—Portland's regional economy has been outperforming nearly all other large metros across the country, causing a net migration into the area and resulting in high demand for housing units of all types. Just as Portland's economy still has room to run, so does its multifamily market.

Indeed, the Portland multifamily market continued its exceptional run during the third quarter, according to a report by Kidder Mathews. Although permit activity slowed since inclusionary zoning regulations commenced last year, the metro continues to experience one of the strongest building cycles in its history.
