A Small Step Forward

A small measure of relief is on the way for Calgary renters.

While the city's vacancy rate isn't about to see a dramatic increase in the near future, construction in the long dormant rental sector is on the upswing.

With just 418 purpose-built apartment rental units built in the city between 2006 and 2011, it appears Calgary developers are recognizing the need for more rental properties.

As shown in the report released by the Altus Group, there were only 800 purpose-built rental apartments built in Calgary between 2006 and 2011. The number places Calgary last amongst the markets surveyed for rental apartment construction.
