Construction has commenced on King + Park, an ambitious mixed-use masterplan development at the gateway to Burnaby, British Columbia. Joint venture partners Crestpoint Real Estate Investments, Vestcor and Anthem Properties celebrated the milestone alongside local officials. The transit-oriented scheme will deliver vital rental housing across multiple phases and includes the extensive refurbishment of a landmark 50-year-old local office tower.
Minto Apartment REIT has entered a definitive agreement to be acquired and taken private by Crestpoint Real Estate Investments and the Minto Group. The all-cash transaction is valued at $2.3 billion and offers unitholders $18.00 per unit. Minto will retain a significant stake and continue to manage the high-quality Canadian residential portfolio. The deal is expected to close in the latter half of 2026 following a unitholder vote in March.
