In this episode, David Wilson of RCP Companies discusses the rise of Huntsville’s multifamily housing market and what comes next. With more than 30 years of experience tracking the apartment sector, David explains the “perfect storm” that drove Huntsville’s apartment boom, from record occupancy and rapid rent growth to the surge in new development across the city.

The conversation also explores how MidCity has grown into a high-density mixed-use district with more than 1,000 residential units, including Metronome, Encore, The Wellory, and Anthem House. David also shares why 2026 could be a “year of healing” for the market as supply slows and Huntsville’s population growth continues to drive demand.
