Why Building Multi-family Real Estate is Smart
Whether you have the expertise as a real estate developer or are a first-time real estate developer, multifamily housing will help you build wealth faster than you could otherwise. Building multifamily apartments sounds scary. However, it isn’t. Multi-family real estate property in Lewis Center has a higher building cost compared to purchasing a single-family home. However, multi-family apartments generate a more steady cash flow than single-family homes, making it easier to finance a loan.
Benefits of Owning a Multi-family Unit Property
Streamlined Maintenance
Due to the nature of multi-family buildings, units are grouped together, resulting in significantly fewer maintenance costs per unit. Multi-family properties can share many structural and management aspects, such as walls, HVAC equipment, and landscaping services. Streamlining any construction, renovation, or maintenance projects that may occur over time will keep your property desirable and appealing to many customers.
Steady Cash Flow
Owning multi-family buildings provides a consistent source of passive income every month. With affordable housing rental costs, managing and filling multi-family living spaces is easier than traditional single-family living spaces. Increasing average occupancy and revenue also makes multi-family buildings a less risky property investment.
Tax Breaks
Multi-family rental properties such as apartments and assisted living communities are just like businesses to the IRS, allowing you to benefit from tax deductions and special housing tax benefits.
Market Ready Investment
By constructing multi-family buildings from the ground up, you have the opportunity to include attractive amenities and services from the start. This gives you an advantage over your competition, which only renovates older investment properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do we serve?
We have completed construction projects in Lewis Center and communities throughout Central Ohio. Rockford Construction is located in greater Columbus, OH, but we build commercial housing projects anywhere in Ohio.
Are multi-family construction projects fully customizable?
Yes. One of the advantages of building a multi-family construction project over purchasing a renovation project is that it allows you to pick the most up-to-date plans, furnishings, and amenities to attract top-tier renters and buyers.
What is some advice to consider when it comes to budget?
When working on a budget, prioritize, prioritize! It is important to remember what is most important to you because it is easy to get wrapped up in the excitement and go over budget. Create a prioritized list of all the “must-have” features and amenities, then outline how much you are willing to pay for each. Value engineering will come into play when your budget becomes stretched.
Keep in mind the shifting cost of materials in the various markets in which you intend to build.

How do I get started constructing a multifamily development project?
The first step is to get in touch with a multifamily construction contractor like Rockford Construction. Our experienced real estate developers and general contractors will work through the process of your project scope and outline the best course of action for building your commercial real estate complex.
What is multifamily construction?
Multifamily construction projects are as simple as they sound: it’s a dwelling with several tenantable units grouped together. Many residents can live in the same overlying structure, but each family has its own living space. Amenities include a bathroom, kitchen, common areas, and much more. Many of these homes appear to be independent, separate houses or apartments from the outside, which appeals to many residents and clients. All housing is built at complementary scales and in character to the surrounding neighborhood. Examples of multi-family homes include one and two-bedroom apartments, townhouses, condos, and duplexes.
How much does a multifamily construction project cost?
All construction projects have different costs. Below are some cost guidelines for multifamily construction buildings in and around Columbus.
How long does a construction project usually take?
The duration of a new construction project is tied to the scope of the project. A safe answer would be anywhere from 9 months to 4 years to complete construction. Many professional real estate developers and contractors will tell you to expect the unexpected with construction. The factors that affect the timeline of a construction project are:
- Number of living spaces being built
Availability of building materials
Condition and development of the land
Land Costs (10-20%)
Land costs in Lewis Center are the first big expense in multifamily construction. As one can imagine, purchasing land in rural areas is cheaper compared to urban infill communities. Many factors come into play, and this development cost may include demolition and clearing.
Hard Costs (50-70%)
The hard development cost of multifamily construction includes the expenses for physically building the multifamily housing: materials, safety equipment, and systems, labor costs, engineering services, as well as contractors’ and subcontractors’ bids.
Soft Costs (20-30%)
This construction cost covers the expenses that go into the work process behind the scenes, such as contracts and legal fees, Lewis Center (Orange Township) permit fees, city zoning, interior design, architects’ fees, and other similar expenditures needed to complete the project.
