Why US multifamily. Why now.
Canadians invest on average just 10% of their portfolios outside Canada, while 56% of Canada’s wealthiest families hold US assets and plan to maintain or increase those allocations.1 That gap is where the US Apartment Fund operates.
The US multifamily market today is shaped by three conditions working in the investor’s favour:
Acquisition pricing has reset.
US multifamily is priced approximately 15% lower per unit than Canadian equivalents.2 The same capital buys more income-producing real estate today.
Rental demand is structural.
A shortage of at least 10 million US single-family homes is keeping more households renting, and for longer.3
Supply is tightening.
New US residential construction has fallen to a post-pandemic low,4 narrowing the balance between demand and available supply.
For investors who see US multifamily as part of a long-term diversified portfolio, the current setup is one the Fund is designed to take advantage of.
Where the opportunity lives.
Our initial focus is the Sun Belt — a region with distinct but reinforcing multifamily fundamentals.
The Sun Belt
Population growth has remained consistent across the region, supported by domestic migration and job creation. Recent elevated supply has created short-term softening — widening the entry point for investors acquiring well-located multifamily at today’s prices.5
The Demand
Apartment demand has held steady, backed by stable employment and disciplined new construction.6 Several of the most closely watched US multifamily markets heading into 2026 are concentrated here.
Our approach to US multifamily.
The Fund applies the same playbook Equiton has used to build the flagship Apartment Fund over the last decade — acquire quality multifamily properties, manage them actively, and create value over time — now applied to US multifamily.
Focused On Multifamily
The Fund invests exclusively in apartment buildings — an asset class supported by the fundamental need for housing.
Active asset management
Our team manages operations directly: optimizing revenue, managing expenses, and executing property-level improvements.
High-growth market focus.
Properties are selected in high-potential US markets with strong demographic and employment fundamentals.
Long-term ownership.
The Fund holds properties over a long-term horizon, with capital selectively recycled into new acquisitions over time.
Canadian investors gain US exposure through a Canadian-regulated structure — no direct ownership, no cross-border paperwork, no day-to-day property management.
