Have high-rise apartment rents peaked?

Crain's Chicago Business has the analysis on Chicago's high rise apartment market. 

Downtown apartment owners have been bracing for increased competition from a building boom that will add about 5,000 units to the market this year and next. But new data show they have an additional and more immediate problem: Demand is slowing exactly when landlords need it to pick up.
The overall downtown apartment occupancy rate dropped to 92.6 percent in the third quarter, down from 95.3 percent a year earlier and the lowest rate since the end of 2009, according to a report by Appraisal Research Counselors, a Chicago-based consulting firm.
