UDR, Inc.

UDR is a real estate investment trust that owns, operates and develops apartment communities in strong urban and suburban markets across the United States. As a large residential landlord, it benefits from steady rental demand and the housing supply constraints that support occupancy and rent growth, while its scale allows disciplined capital allocation across coastal and Sun Belt regions. As a REIT, UDR is structured to pass rental income through to shareholders and has paid dividends for more than three decades. The yield is moderate and backed by recurring rents, though like all REITs the payout is sensitive to interest rates and property valuations. Its steady, mid-range profile suits investors seeking real-estate-based income.
