EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Episode 82: Matt and Taylor are joined by Wendy Waters. Wendy is the Vice President, Research Services & Strategy at GWL Realty Advisors from Vancouver, BC, who has over 20 years of experience in real estate research. At GWLRA, she leads Research Services & Strategy team, which provides strategic analysis on office, industrial, retail and multi-residential portfolio strategy across Canada, focusing on the economic, demographic and social drivers of real estate performance as well as capital flow and market trends that shape returns.

 

Wendy is also on the management committee for the Urban Land Institute (ULI), Co-Chairs RealPac’s Research Committee, and sits on the Board of Directors of the Urban Development Institute of British Columbia (UDI). Wendy regularly publishes research on LinkedIn, the GWLRA website, and takes part on panels across Canada.

 

Wendy is here to discuss:
→ Different real estate asset classes and locations for investing in Canada, pension fund real estate investing strategies, if foreign investors are still investing in Canada.
→ Immigration and population growth impacting the market and Covid distortion of students, student rentals as an asset class, and why we should be making more purpose built rentals.
→ If rent control works or if it actually harms the market, if the STR regulations have impacted rent the way the government intended, and if Canada will ever catch up on building housing.
