COVID-19 Conversations: Record Sales and Rental Demand Dips – How to Make Sense of the Market Dislocation

Date:
November 19, 2020
Share:

With more than 60 active projects in various stages of development across the GTA and South Florida region, navigating the current global pandemic since the beginning of 2020 has been a lesson in adaptability and focus.  As the economy began to open up since our last COVID-19 Conversation in late June, we have witnessed a flurry of activity in the real estate development and housing market. From the pent-up demand fueling the GTA low-rise market to the strong leasing activity of our U.S. multi-family asset, our development teams have seen notable progress across our projects in spite of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In this latest webisode of COVID-19 Conversations, we sit down once again with Greybrook Securities Inc., CEO, Sasha Cucuz, to get an update on what Greybrook has seen and experienced first-hand across our active portfolio of developments over the past few months.  Sasha also shares Greybrook’s views on why as long-term real estate investors we remain committed to our investment thesis and bullish on our key markets in spite of the current dislocation in the market.

For past COVID-19 Conversations webisodes – 100 Days Since Lockdown Began – Where are We Now?, How is the Development Industry Adapting & What Investment Opportunities Exist , The Impact on Real Estate Development

We are committed to keeping our investors, stakeholders and communities informed and connected throughout this unique and evolving moment in history. We welcome your feedback, and want to know what questions you want answered as we work so we can provide you with engaging and relevant content from our vantage point.
