Bob Borson has been an architect his entire adult life. He’s designed houses, commercial properties and everything in between.

Today he is perhaps best known for building up the design community online. His website, Life of an Architect, is among the most highly visited sites in the architecture space. Borson’s guidance and advice about the profession is what keeps people coming back.

In the last year, Borson has also created a podcast under the Life of an Architect name. It is published bi-weekly and co-hosted by President and Principal Architect of Hawkins Architecture Group Andrew Hawkins and himself.

Borson, an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Fellow, joins MarketScale Mornings today to discuss how young architects should approach finding their first job, modern architecture, and planning and zoning limitations.

J.P. Morgan flags diverging multifamily conditions across U.S. markets in mid-2026 outlook

Orange County's multifamily market is projected to remain resilient through 2026, with overall vacancy edging up only modestly and workforce housing keeping Class B and C vacancy well below Class A levels. Interest rate uncertainty is pushing owner-operators toward shorter loan terms and variable-rate strategies, while rising operational costs are prompting tighter liquidity management. The asset-class divide—driven largely by concentrated new supply in submarkets like Tustin—is the defining dynamic of the market this year.

01Class B/C vacancy in Orange County stood at 2.9% in Q1 2026, less than half the 6.5% recorded for Class A assets, according to Moody's data cited by JPMorgan Chase.
02Overall vacancy is forecast to rise only slightly, from 4.5% to 4.7%, with effective rents projected to grow 0.9% year over year, matching 2025's pace.
03Rate uncertainty is steering multifamily borrowers toward three-to-five-year loan terms or variable-rate extensions rather than long-term refinancing locks.
