Centurion's Strategic Advantages in Canada’s Constantly Evolving Rental Market
Canada’s rental market experienced a shift in 2024, with rent growth moderating from record highs but remaining elevated by historical standards. While media headlines highlight declining asking rents, the reality is more nuanced—particularly for purpose-built rental apartments, where demand remains strong.
At the same time, Canada’s housing supply imbalance persists. A surge in condo completions has increased rental inventory, but most of this new supply consists of individually owned units rather than purpose-built rental properties. Individual landlords face unique pressures, including higher mortgage rates and heightened competition.
Lucian Ionescu, Chief Operating Officer, explores current market conditions, the challenges within Canada’s rental landscape, and how Centurion’s strategic approach ensures ongoing value creation for investors in his paper, Centurion's Strategic Advantages in Canada’s Constantly Evolving Rental Market.
