As Ontario’s market for new homeownership faces headwinds, more builders are exploring a strategic pivot: entering the purpose-built rental market. But making the shift isn’t simply about changing tenure — it’s about adopting an entirely different business model, investment structure, and operational mindset. This session brings together leading developers, builders, and rental housing operators to explore what it takes to successfully make that transition. Panelists will share insights on underwriting rental projects, financing and construction considerations, long-term asset management, and navigating regulatory frameworks that treat rental differently. Whether you’re evaluating a shift or already mid-transition, this session will offer real-world perspectives on how to build for a different kind of demand. Sponsored by:
