About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Apartments.com Releases Multifamily Rent Growth Report for Third Quarter of 2024

Quarterly data shows smallest gap between multifamily supply and demand since 2021

Today, Apartments.com – an online marketplace of CoStar Group, Inc. (“CoStar”) – published an in-depth report of multifamily rent trends for the third quarter of 2024.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241009007629/en/

The U.S. multifamily market continued a strong rebound in demand during the third quarter of 2024, with 176,000 units absorbed, the highest number since the third quarter of 2021. This demand was just short of the 178,000 new units delivered in the last quarter, resulting in the smallest supply-demand gap in three years. Given the more balanced market, the vacancy rate fell 10 basis points to 7.8%, the first quarterly drop in vacancy since the end of 2021.

The national average annual asking rent growth eased to 1.1% in September 2024 compared to 1.2% at the end of July 2024. Since mid-2023, annual rent growth has hovered around 1% after a rapid deceleration in 2021 and 2022. Quarter-over-quarter rent growth decreased by 0.5% after seeing growth of 1.0% in each of the prior two quarters.

At 3.5%, Washington, DC ended the third quarter with the strongest annual asking rent growth of the top 50 markets nationwide, with Richmond and Detroit close behind at 3.4%. Nine of the top 10 best performing markets for annual asking rent growth saw rents rise by at least 3.0% from the previous year.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, annual asking rent fell by 4.7% from the previous year in Austin. Raleigh, Jacksonville, Phoenix, and Atlanta did somewhat better, with annual asking rent decreases from previous year ranging from 2.9% to 1.9%. Nine of the bottom ten performing markets are in the Sun Belt, where supply-demand imbalances remain challenging.

Absorption was led by 4&5-Star units, with just over 147,000 units in the quarter. But with most new supply aimed at the luxury market, annual asking rent growth remained the weakest in that segment, finishing September 2024 at 0.3% with a vacancy rate of 11.1%. This contrasts with mid-priced assets that benefited from rising demand for 3-Star properties, where vacancy sits at 7.1% and rent growth of 1.5%. Improving consumer confidence, lower inflation, and sustained economic expansion likely helped boost 3-Star demand.

The multifamily market is projected to add 636,000 new units in 2024, a 40-year record. Property operations for the remainder of 2024 and the first half of 2025 could vary widely depending on the market and the price point. Markets in the Sun Belt and luxury properties remain most at risk for weakness due to oversupply conditions, while Midwest and Northeast locations and mid-priced 3-star properties could continue to outperform.
