Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver for the 36.4% increase in net income attributable to common stockholders was a combination of higher gains from real estate sales and an increase in Net Operating Income (NOI) from the company's apartment rental operations compared to the prior year period.

AvalonBay is actively managing its portfolio by acquiring properties in growth markets, such as its recent acquisitions in Texas, and strategically selling assets that no longer align with its long-term strategy, as evidenced by its exit from the Connecticut market. The company also continues to invest in its development pipeline.

As of March 31, 2025, AvalonBay had 19 wholly-owned communities under construction, expected to add approximately 6,595 apartment homes with a projected total capitalized cost of $2.49 billion. Additionally, the company controls land for an estimated 28 future apartment communities, representing another 8,932 apartment homes.

The company's liquidity remains strong. In April 2025, AVB increased its borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility to $2.5 billion and extended its maturity. Net cash provided by operating activities increased due to higher NOI, although net cash used in investing activities was significant due to development and acquisitions. The company also has a substantial commercial paper program and manages its debt maturities proactively.
