New Landlords Like Where Region Is Headed

The Skyline Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust is investing heavily in Windsor and Tecumseh.

The Guelph-based company just purchased 23 properties for $136.2-million, to become one of the more dominant landlords in the area.

Skyline CEO Jason Castellan believes it's a good time to invest in the region.  "With the biggest trading partner being the US right on the border there, and their economy picking up, we see great opportunity," he explains.  "Windsor has a skilled work force, they have a new bridge, they have a lot of strength going and a lot of momentum in their direction."

The Skyline Apartment REIT owns 15,000 units in 48 communities across six Canadian provinces.
