Revenue Per Door (RPD)
A multifamily real estate KPI measuring annualized revenue divided by total unit count.
Revenue Per Door (RPD), sometimes called RevPAR for hospitality or revenue per available unit, is a multifamily real estate KPI measuring annualized revenue divided by total unit count. RPD captures both occupancy and rent strength in a single metric — making it a more useful operational benchmark than rents alone. Property performance marketing optimizes for RPD by combining rent maximization (via revenue management) with occupancy maximization (via marketing demand generation) and mix optimization (which floor plans and unit types attract highest-RPD residents). Empire325 builds RPD-driven dashboards integrating leasing CRM data with marketing attribution.
