We here at NMHC have spent a lot of time over the years focusing on
legislative and regulatory issues related to finance and tax. These are of
critical importance to our $1.3 billion industry, as they govern the way owners,

purpose is to serve the nearly 39 million people who live in our communities.

And
some of them are being rewarded with higher per-square-foot rents than the
smaller units within the same development. But where? RCLCO mapped these over
16,260 macro units across the nation and conducted additional analysis to
understand the typical characteristics of macro unit communities.
