Multifamily Innovation® Council Celebrates Workplace Excellence with Release of 2026 Best Places to Work Multifamily® Rankings

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Multifamily Innovation® Council proudly announces the official rankings for the 2026 Best Places to Work Multifamily® program. These national rankings were revealed during the live broadcast event, celebrating workplace excellence and recognizing organizations across the country that create outstanding employee experiences in the multifamily industry.

The multifamily industry contributes more than $3.4 trillion to the U.S. economy each year and supports over 17.5 million jobs nationwide. As the industry continues to evolve through shifting resident expectations, operational demands, and rapid advancements in technology, workplace culture has become a defining factor in organizational success. Companies recognized through the Best Places to Work Multifamily® program consistently demonstrate high engagement, strong leadership, and an ability to attract and retain top talent in a competitive labor market.

“Strong cultures do not happen by accident. They are built with intention,” says Patrick Antrim, Chairman of the Multifamily Innovation® Council and producer of the Best Places to Work Multifamily® program. “The companies recognized this year are modeling what high performance looks like in our industry. They listen to their teams, they invest in their people, and they create environments where employees can contribute meaningful work. That is how operational excellence is built.”

How the Rankings Are Determined

Rankings are based on an independent evaluation that includes a comprehensive review of organizational policies combined with confidential employee feedback. This methodology ensures that results reflect the authentic experience of the people who work inside these organizations.

All participating companies receive a detailed report that includes engagement metrics, satisfaction data, employee comments, and benchmarking insights. These tools help leaders strengthen culture, improve retention, increase productivity, and elevate both resident experience and financial performance.

Recognition for Women in Multifamily

In addition to the overall rankings, the program also identifies the Best Places to Work Multifamily® for Women, recognizing organizations where women experience exceptional workplace environments, strong support, and meaningful opportunities for advancement.

To qualify for this list, companies must meet strict requirements:

• Minimum of 15 women on staff

• For companies with more than 60 employees, at least 25% of the workforce must be women

• Female survey response rate of at least 40%

• For companies with fewer than 25 women, an 80% female response rate is required

• Minimum of 10 female survey responses

• Must already be a Best Place to Work Multifamily® for the current year

• Women’s average positive response rate must be 80% or higher

• For large companies using sample surveys, at least 40% of respondents must be women

Earning a place on this list reflects a high standard of workplace excellence and a commitment to supporting women at every level of the organization.

A Strategic Advantage in Today’s Market

“The future of multifamily belongs to companies that understand the connection between people and performance,” adds Antrim. “When employees feel supported and aligned with the mission, everything improves. The companies recognized this year are proving that culture is not an intangible idea. It is a competitive edge.”
