Calgary is experiencing a surge in rental apartment construction as demand for housing intensifies across Canada. With nearly 2,800 new units started in 2022 alone, developers are responding to a long-standing shortage of rental supply. Rising interest rates, population growth, and affordability challenges are pushing more Canadians toward renting rather than homeownership. While new developments may ease short-term pressure, industry experts warn that ongoing cost increases and strong demand could continue to strain the rental market.

Luxury purpose-built rentals are emerging as one of Toronto’s most sought-after housing trends, combining high-end amenities with the flexibility of renting. Designed to rival or exceed condo living, these developments offer concierge services, spacious layouts, and lifestyle-focused features without long-term ownership commitments. They appeal to downsizers, professionals, and those seeking stability without sacrificing quality. As demand grows, these rental properties are redefining expectations around urban living and reshaping Toronto’s premium housing market.

New purpose-built rental developments are reshaping the rental market by offering modern amenities and greater choice for tenants. Projects like Edmonton’s Augustana feature concierge services, rooftop spaces, and high-quality finishes designed to attract today’s renters. As more young professionals delay homeownership, demand for flexible, amenity-rich rental living continues to grow. With increased project launches across both downtown and suburban areas, purpose-built rentals are expanding housing options while setting new standards for quality and lifestyle in the rental market.

Purpose-built rentals are emerging as a strong alternative to condos in Toronto, driven by rising demand, population growth, and new government incentives. Modern rental developments now offer amenities comparable to — or exceeding — condo standards, while prioritizing durability and long-term management. With thousands of units under construction and more in the pipeline, these projects are reshaping the city’s housing landscape and giving renters greater security and convenience compared to traditional condo rentals.
