Capright Attends 2025 Bisnow Build-to-Rent Summit

November 6, 2025

Kris Oxtal, MAI, Principal at Capright, recently attended the 2025 Bisnow Build-to-Rent (BTR) Summit, a leading industry event focused on the rapidly evolving single-family rental and build-to-rent markets.

The summit brought together developers, investors, operators, and lenders to discuss the forces shaping this growing sector. Kris shared insights that highlighted the sector’s resilience and continued momentum, including:

• Renter demand remains strong: 71% of household growth now comes from renters, and it’s nearly 60% more expensive to buy than rent.
• Evolving preferences: Millennials and Gen Z are driving a “mobility mindset,” prioritizing flexibility over ownership.
• Operational performance matters: With expenses ranging from 30%–50%, execution quality can be a major differentiator.
• Capital and rate outlook: Institutional investors are cautiously re-entering the space as rate conditions stabilize and development capital lines up for 2026.
• Design and community drive rents: Amenities, thoughtful parking design, and community engagement continue to be key rent drivers.

The big takeaway: Build-to-Rent is gaining significant traction, but the leaders in design and operational excellence will set the pace for the next phase of growth.
