The metro gained 500 net jobs during the 12 months ending in June, with education and health services leading growth. However, ongoing development activity reflects confidence in the region\u2019s long-term prospects. Woodlawn Lofts, the first residential component of the 178-acre Hazelwood Green, is underway and expected to deliver its initial phase in December.

The pipeline included approximately 3,600 units under construction. Development activity remained focused on the upscale Lifestyle segment. Transactions slowed, with multifamily sales totaling $63 million during the first eight months of the year.
