About Camden Property Trust
About Camden Property Trust
Camden Property Trust's 175 multifamily communities—comprising 59,921 apartment homes across the United States at December 31, 2025—form the entirety of the company's income-producing real estate, with three additional communities totaling 1,162 apartment homes under construction. Camden employs about 1,640 people and qualifies as a REIT under IRS Code Sections 856-860. Outstanding debt totaled roughly $3.9 billion, supported by investment-grade credit ratings of A- from Fitch, A3 from Moody's, and A- from S&P as of December 31, 2025.
Camden earns rental income through lease agreements averaging approximately 14 months, with expirations staggered by apartment type to match each property's seasonal rental patterns and minimize vacancy concentration at any single point. All 175 communities are directly owned and operated, with no franchised or third-party managed properties in the portfolio. The REIT covenant requires distributing at least 90% of adjusted taxable income annually as dividends, constraining retained cash available for debt repayment. Development activity planned for 2026 includes approximately $135 million to $155 million in construction costs for three projects underway, $50 million to $60 million for new development starts, and $77 million to $81 million for repositions, redevelopment, and repurposing.
Show full overview
Camden's 14-month average lease terms expose rental income to downward market repricing faster than multi-year commercial leases would—the 10-K notes that leases permitting residents to leave at term end mean rental revenues respond to market rent declines more quickly than longer-term leases. Rent control adds a secondary layer of risk: multiple states and municipalities in Camden's markets have adopted, or are actively considering, stabilization laws that could limit the company's ability to raise rents, evict residents, or recover increases in operating costs depending on local regulatory scope.
