The Sales Process for New Purpose-Built Rental Apartment Buildings

September 12, 2019

Extending beyond the traditional low-rise apartments built between the 1960s – 1980s, our team has transacted several newly-constructed purpose-built rental apartment buildings throughout the Lower Mainland & Greater Victoria markets. The recent softening of the condo market combined with growing demand from institutional investors has contributed to more and more developers considering building purpose-built rental buildings as a less risky, but still profitable alternative.

Large institutional companies and REITS are often not concerned by high per-door prices in Metro Vancouver for new rental projects, or by Canada's slim capitalization rates that are often below 3%. Most recently, our team transacted two brand new purpose-built rental apartment buildings in Langley: The 98-Suite Point Apartments for $39 Million, and the 90-Suite Meridian Apartments for $33 Million, both of which were sold to CAPREIT.
