Although apartment construction in 2025 is shifting heavily to the South — now accounting for more than 50% of all expected completions — the Phoenix metro area pierced the top 10 dominated by Southern locations and secured the title of the 4th busiest apartment builder in 2025.

The Phoenix metro area is set to complete 21,188 new apartments in 2025. That’s 5,500 units behind the podium, but it’s still among the only four metros to build more than 20,000 units in a year.
