I doubt it, hammer drills are used for concrete because they have a hammering action as well as drilling, which actualy chips the contrete as you go.
You can rent hammer drills from Rona or Home depot for pretty cheap.
You could always try your regular drill though.

A normal drill with a masonry bit will work... But it wont be cutting through like a hot knife through butter.

I dont know anything about your apartment. But I'm sure you'll watch out for water pipes. We had someone on around our 30th floor drill into the ceiling right into a water pipe and it flood like a hundred units below. It also took out all 3 elevators in the building. There was no elevator service for almost a week. People were ****ed. Dozens of apartments had to replace their drywalls. I think it must have cost hundreds of thousands in repairs. I can't remember who ended up paying for it.
