Dallas-Fort Worth remained in the spotlight as the USA metro with the most apartments coming online, according to Multihousing News. Last year, the market saw 40,666 units delivered across 162 properties, slightly above the 40,497 units completed in 2024 across 157 communities.

The Metroplex’s multifamily pipeline is expected to keep expanding into 2026 and beyond, though at a slower pace. Reflecting broader national trends, new construction starts fell sharply—from 123 projects breaking ground in 2024 to 76 last year—marking the steepest decline among the markets analyzed.

The metro had 48,859 apartments underway at the beginning of the year, the largest figure among these markets.

Austin ranked second among the top markets for multifamily deliveries, with 30,943 units across 110 projects completed in 2025.

At the beginning of the year, the metro had 25,931 apartments under construction. A total of 33 developments started construction last year, a considerable decrease from the 61 projects that broke ground in 2024.
