Key Points

  • Alberta's multifamily market is attracting significant investor interest due to its stable cash flow prospects and rent growth, particularly in Calgary and Edmonton.
  • The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation's MLI Select program and the absence of rent control in Alberta have made the province an attractive market for both private and institutional investors.
