Apartment Construction
Apartment Construction Serving Tempe, AZ
One in-house team managing apartment construction and renovation start to finish, built for steady ASU-driven rental demand.
Our Approach to Apartment Construction
Apartment demand in Tempe is unusually steady because of Arizona State University’s main campus — a large, renewing population of students, graduate students, and young professionals who need rental housing within walking or biking distance of campus and Tempe Town Lake. With almost no vacant land left inside the city, new apartment supply in Tempe comes overwhelmingly from infill construction and renovation of existing multi-unit buildings rather than new development on open land, which puts a premium on a contractor who can build and renovate efficiently on a tight, already-developed site.
Hickok Homes manages apartment construction and renovation projects in Tempe with one in-house team responsible for schedule, budget, and quality control across every unit, the same design-build discipline we apply to a single custom home scaled to a multi-unit property.
Preconstruction & Planning
We confirm unit mix, shared-system routing, and a phased schedule before any work begins, along with a transparent, line-item budget built from real subcontractor pricing. We coordinate with your architect, engineers, and property management rather than requiring a restart of design work already underway.
Construction & Quality Control
Consistent execution unit to unit is the standard we hold ourselves to, with trade scheduling managed to minimize dead time between units and phases, whether the project is ground-up new construction or a renovation of an existing apartment building.
Local Considerations in Tempe
Apartment construction on an infill site in Tempe often involves density and design-review requirements specific to the municipality, along with desert-specific building performance considerations — glazing, shading, and drainage — that apply to any project in this climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hickok Homes build apartment properties in Tempe?
Yes. We manage apartment construction and renovation projects in Tempe, handling schedule, budget, and quality control across every unit as one team.
Why is apartment demand strong in Tempe?
Arizona State University’s main campus supports a large, renewing population of students and young professionals who need rental housing close to campus and Tempe Town Lake, which keeps apartment demand steady.
Do you build new apartment properties, or only renovate existing ones?
Both. Given how little vacant land remains in Tempe, we take on a mix of ground-up infill apartment construction and renovation of existing multi-unit buildings.
Can Hickok Homes work with my architect and engineers?
Yes, we coordinate construction around plans from your existing design team rather than requiring you to restart the design process.
How long does an apartment construction project take?
Timelines depend heavily on unit count, site conditions, and whether it’s new construction or renovation, so we confirm a realistic schedule during preconstruction rather than quoting a generic number.
How is budget handled on an apartment project?
We build a transparent, line-item budget from real subcontractor pricing, confirmed before construction begins so carrying costs stay predictable. Any change during construction is priced and approved in writing before we proceed.
Can you renovate occupied apartment buildings?
In some scopes yes, depending on the extent of the work and unit availability; we’ll walk through what’s realistic for your specific property and occupancy situation during preconstruction.
Do you handle density and design-review requirements in Tempe?
Yes. Apartment construction on an infill site in Tempe often involves municipal density and design-review requirements specific to the site, and we manage that submittal process as part of permitting.
Do you offer a warranty on apartment construction?
Yes, our apartment projects are backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on installed systems and materials, with a formal walkthrough before calling any phase complete.
Can you provide documentation our lender or investors will need?
Yes, our transparent line-item budgets and construction schedules are built in a format that supports lender and investor documentation requirements, and we’re glad to coordinate directly with your financing team.
