About UDR, Inc.
About UDR, Inc.
UDR's 55,240-home multifamily portfolio, spread across 165 communities in 21 U.S. markets at December 31, 2025, generated Same-Store revenue growth of 2.4% and Same-Store NOI growth of 2.3% during 2025. Net income attributable to common stockholders reached $372.9 million, up from $84.8 million in 2024, driven largely by higher disposition gains and lower depreciation. The portfolio spans both coastal and sunbelt locations, with an urban/suburban property mix of approximately 32%/68%.
UDR earns revenue primarily through short-term residential leases — the majority with initial terms of 12 months or less — which allows the company to reprice units at each renewal cycle. This structure can accelerate revenue recovery in rising-rent markets but also exposes results to faster rent declines when market conditions soften. UDR reports in two segments: Same-Store Communities (acquired and stabilized before January 1, 2024, with no planned substantial redevelopment) and Non-Mature Communities/Other. The company supplements direct ownership through unconsolidated joint ventures and a Debt and Preferred Equity Program; the company received $204.2 million in distributions from unconsolidated ventures in 2025, including $97.3 million from preferred equity repayments. Capital structure includes both secured and unsecured debt, with the term loan extended to January 31, 2029 during the year. The A/B quality split of approximately 44%/56% distributes exposure across tenant income cohorts.
Show full overview
Lease maturity risk is moderated by the short-duration structure, but the same brevity means that roughly 22% of leases at a given time can roll within months. The 10-K notes that because the majority of apartment leases have initial terms of 12 months or less, rental revenues are impacted by declines in market rents more quickly than if leases were for longer terms. Additionally, several of UDR's highest-weighted markets — California, New York, and Washington D.C. — operate under active rent stabilization or control frameworks, which could prevent the company from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs.
