The U.S. Commerce Department said housing starts rose 1.5 percent to an annual rate of 699,000 units last month, beating economists' expectations for a 675,000-unit pace. Starts were boosted by multi-unit buildings, reflecting growing demand for rental apartments as Americans move away from homeownership.
