Real Estate Development Fund
Helping investors earn strong risk-adjusted returns while creating new housing in Southern Ontario
Different From Other Real Estate Investments
Investing in development is project finance — not dependent on legacy rents or capital appreciation. Investors participate in the profit generated from the manufacturing of the new housing supply.
Continued Demand for New Housing
The population of Ontario is projected to grow by an additional 2.5 million residents over the next ten years giving investors an opportunity to capitalize on the need to build more housing.
