The Austin Business Journal 2022 list of developers building multifamily projects in the Austin area is ranked by local units under development or delivered during 2021. The list is open to companies with offices in the Austin area. It includes properties that have received permits to start the process. Firms that did not produce units this year, but are in the planning stages to break ground in the near future, are also included. Housing needs continue to outpace the supply pipeline.

These same firms indicate they plan to break ground on an additional 16,731 local units during 2022.
