Urbanation and Canadian Rental Demand

“The industry can expect to have real-time analytics and
real-time insights as to what's happening in the rental market
across the country. And to me, this was a massive knowledge gap
in the industry.” — Shaun Hildebrand


Access to real-time rental market data has always been a
challenge in Canada. Luckily, today’s guests are here to share a
solution to this problem! We are joined by Max Steinman (CEO at
Rentsync) and Shaun Hildebrand (President at Urbanation) to
discuss how they are joining forces to develop the most
comprehensive market data platform for the rental housing
industry in Canada. This exciting partnership will bring together
Rentsync’s wealth of multifamily rental listings data,
Urbanation’s industry-leading data platform for new purpose-built
rental projects and condominium rentals, and decades of
analytical expertise. Tuning in, you’ll find out how this new
venture will create broader knowledge and expertise regarding
what is happening in the rental market across the country. You’ll
also gain some insight into rental demand in Canada as we unpack
the unprecedented rent surges we saw in 2022, and Shaun and Max
