About company
Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a prominent Canadian real estate investment trust specializing in the acquisition, refurbishment, management, and ownership of multi-family residential communities. Since its inception in 1984 by brothers Sam and Van Kolias, Boardwalk has grown significantly, expanding its portfolio across four provinces in Canada. The company went public in 1994 and transitioned to a REIT in 2004, a move that allowed it to benefit from tax advantages while distributing most of its net taxable income to unitholders. With over 30,000 suites and serving more than 55,000 resident members, Boardwalk focuses on providing quality apartments for rent, fostering community spirit, and ensuring a high level of service to its residents. In addition to residential properties, Boardwalk also leases commercial and retail office space across Canada, catering to a variety of business needs. Through strategic partnerships, such as with RioCan REIT in 2018 to develop a mixed-use building in Calgary, and a commitment to affordable housing, Boardwalk continues to grow and diversify its portfolio while maintaining a strong focus on community and resident satisfaction.
