Isn't this circular? How do you define "institutional"? Is it based on number of units and/or the use of a corporate structure?

Nobody is stupid enough to own an apartment complex in their own personal name without the protections of some kind of corporate structure. If that and/or a number of units owned that is lower than the size of an apartment complex are part of the definition of "institutional investor," the definition is circular.

The linked article breaks it down. By type of group that owns it.

Note I messed up and it is just over 50% of units.
