Define multi-family for me... is it just 3 or more bedroom units in buildings that share common areas? i.e. any apartment(condo/unit) building?
Because if that's the case about 15% of all new off-the-plan units would be 3 bed or more, the vast bulk are 2 bed (50+%) and the remainder would be 1 bedders.
10-15 years ago everything was far more skewed toward Studios/1 bedders (i.e more than 50%) but these days studios are almost unheard of in new developments.
I can only offer an anecdote in my own building that's 2-3 years old, 12 levels and about ~130 apartments - mixture of 1s, 1 + study, 2s, and 3s. there's 12 apartments on my floor, 4 of them are 3 bed (3 of those apartments have young and teenaged kids in them), the bulk are 2 beds with 3 semi-retired couples and the rest of the 1 and 1+studies and other 2 beds have young singles or couples living in them.
