The number of jobs created this summer is expected to be markedly lower than last year due to plunging oil prices. Pair that with 54 large rental housing developments completed in 2015, and experts are predicting a local rental market slowdown.

In 2015, Houston added approximately 14,871 new units — within brand new constructions — to the local housing inventory, according to website RentCafe, which collaborated with research firm YardiMatrix to compile market data.

Their reports shows that two local SkyHouse complexes were among the top 10 largest Houston rental developments completed last year: SkyHouse Houston with 336; SkyHouse River Oaks with 352 units. The research sites have also crunched the numbers for other large-scale apartment buildings in Houston and have published a ranking of the area's biggest projects completed last year.

According to RentCafe and YardiMatrix, their list is based on actual rent charged in apartment buildings with 50 or more rental units. Only ZIP codes where data is available for 200 or more rental units were considered as valid areas for the top-10 list.
