NAHB 55+ Market Survey Data Indicate Growing Optimism for Rental Sector

NAHB members in the 55+ housing market are significantly more optimistic about production and demand for multifamily rental units than they are for sales of single-family homes or multifamily condos, according to results of NAHB’s latest 55+ Housing Market Index (55+ HMI) survey. 


All of the components measuring production and demand for 55+ multifamily rental units increased significantly quarter over quarter. In comparison, the 55+ HMIs for single-family units and multifamily condos were largely unchanged with small increases from 12 to 13 and from 7 to 8, respectively.  These are fairly low numbers, as the 55+ HMIs are on a scale of 0 to 100, where a number below 50 indicates that more NAHB members report conditions in the 55+ market as poor than good.

Digital Image Catalog

As architects, we spend numerous hours learning about different styles and design concepts. Recognizing and identifying the small details is not the easiest task. At G|S we have found that a digital database of images for our clients to browse through is a priceless resource. We have accumulated many images from our own projects at Godden|Sudik Architects, some of which have been featured in Colorado Homes and Lifestyles Magazine, but realize that clients might desire certain details that we have not digitally cataloged yet. For this reason, we love Luxe Magazines online site that lets browsers filter by style, space, color, interior spaces, exterior spaces and location. There is a plethora of beautifully photographed designs available to aid in the design process and we encourage all to go and take a look and grab a few ideas for their own home.

Godden Sudik Architects Launches New Website

When re-designing our website we wanted to have it function on multiple levels. Of course, we wanted it to be visually appealing but, more importantly, we wanted it to serve as a tool that our clients and consultants could come to trust as a valuable resource. We quickly realized that in order to do this, we would need two websites. We understand that homeowners want to gaze through images of our previous projects and that a contractor or developer needs more technical data for a project.

This is why we divided our site into two different user groups, "Homeowner" and "Professional". On the "Homeowner" side, which launched July 2011, an overview of our digital portfolio, renderings of various elevation styles, firm information and an explanation of our process is available. The "Professional" side, launching October 2011, will be a resource professional affiliates can access to gain detailed information about our projects. In addition to our new website, we have created a blog which highlights current events  at Godden Sudik, publications on current topics by employees and articles, websites and blogs our staff regards as respectable resources.
