The fact our total starts are almost on par with Calgary, which has a higher population, is a good sign for us.
Once again, wtf is going on in Ottawa and Montreal to have such lower numbers.
I'd probably argue a significant chunk of our rowhomes are infills as well, on top of them being built in the suburbs. I'm starting to see infills just pop up everywhere now.
I don't really understand how these numbers are possible in Vancouver and Toronto. Both cities obviously need blanket rezoning, because the capital is there to match demand. So is the land...
Better money from selling condos vs purpose built rentals. That’s why I’m pretty sure. We can’t sell condos here, so we get more rentals.I don't really understand how these numbers are possible in Vancouver and Toronto.

Perhaps, but something is profitable until conditions change and it isn't. So one might expect some shift more to rental construction elsewhere too. I don't think the combination of high interest rates and high prices has been very good for condos in the more expensive cities either.Better money from selling condos vs purpose built rentals.

Yeah, I’m not speaking to the last 2 years, so much as the last 15 and the massive boom of condos and investors in our biggest markets.Perhaps, but something is profitable until conditions change and it isn't.

Has the great Toronto condo boom finally hit a wall?
Toronto's once booming condo market is facing challenges as construction slows and sales plummet. Find out more.financialpost.com
Really no major city has been building enough rental over the last few years, but Edmonton is at least close.
