  Aug 11, 20261h 7m

  In Episode 109 of Toronto Under Construction, Ben Myers sits down with Myles Millard of CentreCourt, Christopher Janisse of Park Property, and Aleks Karamarkovic of Karamark Capital for a discussion on what it takes to deliver and operate purpose-built rental housing in today's market. As developers increasingly pivot away from condominiums, the conversation explores the realities of financing, leasing, design, construction and long-term ownership through the lens of those actively building, operating and investing in the sector. From improving construction economics and evolving capital markets to tenant retention, floorplan optimization and the changing expectations of institutional investors, the episode examines how Canada's rental industry is adapting to a very different development landscape. *Sponsored by: BCGi Baron Consulting Group Executive Search*

  Episode 107 - Toronto Under Construction with Josh MacLeod of NBLC, Carlo Timpano of Capital Developments and Address Rentals, and Quinn Samardzic of Mattamy Homes

  Jun 30, 20261h 20m

  In Episode 107 of Toronto Under Construction, Ben Myers sits down with Josh MacLeod of NBLC, Carlo Timpano of Capital Developments and Address Rentals, and Quinn Samardzic of Mattamy Homes for a discussion on how developers are responding to a housing market increasingly driven by end users rather than investors. The conversation explores the rise of bulk condo acquisitions, the growing divide between investor and end-user product, the evolution of purpose-built rental, new approaches to housing design and construction, and the realities of pricing, closings and expansion in a slower market. From underwriting rental projects to prefabricated housing and shifting buyer expectations, the episode examines how some of the industry's most active players are adapting their strategies for a market that looks very different than it did just a few years ago. *Sponsored by: BCGi Baron Consulting Group Executive Search*
