Commercial and multifamily construction has made impressive gains in 2022 largely driven by rising demand for apartments and condos. Not to be outdone, commercial starts also posted strong gains fueled by increased demand for hotel, data center, and retail projects.

The New York metropolitan area was the top market for commercial and multifamily starts in 2022 at $37.1 billion, an increase of 37% from 2021. The Dallas, TX, metropolitan area was in second place, totaling $16.7 billion in 2022, a 51% gain. The Washington, D.C., metro area ranked third during 2022 with $11.4 billion in starts — a 38% gain over 2021.

The remaining top 10 metropolitan areas through the first half of 2022 were:

  • Miami, FL, up 35% ($11.0 billion)
  • Atlanta, GA, up 43% ($9.6 billion)
  • Houston, TX, up 41% ($8.7 billion)
  • Phoenix, AZ, up 33% ($8.4 billion)
  • Austin, TX, up 48% ($8.1 billion)
  • Chicago, IL, up 42% ($7.2 billion)
  • Seattle, WA, up 1% ($6.8 billion)

In 2022, the top 10 metropolitan areas accounted for 40% of all commercial and multifamily starts in the United States, up from 37% in 2021.

Commercial and multifamily starts are comprised of office buildings, stores, hotels, warehouses, commercial garages, and multifamily housing. Not included in this ranking are institutional projects (e.g., educational facilities, hospitals, convention centers, casinos, transportation terminals), manufacturing buildings, single family housing, public works, and electric utilities/gas plants.

In total, U.S. commercial and multifamily building starts rose 25% from 2021 to $308.4 billion. Commercial starts climbed 25% to $159 billion, and multifamily starts gained 25% to $149.4 billion. In 2022, across the top 10 metro areas, commercial building starts rose 34% to $60.4 billion, and multifamily starts gained 40% to $64.6 billion.

“The year 2022 will go down as a banner year for construction starts,” stated Richard Branch, chief economist for Dodge Construction Network. “Even when adjusted for inflation, commercial and multifamily starts were impressive as construction activity began to move back towards downturn urban cores. This pace of activity, however, is unlikely to be sustained in 2023 as the economy is slated to slow and approach stall speed. Commercial and multifamily construction starts are likely to take this on the chin and post declines for the year.”
