In The News | Espace | Nicholas Kolobotos | The Evolution of Real Estate Capital Raising in Canada

Canadian real estate is undergoing a quiet transformation. As the market matures, successful developers and operators are shifting away from deal-by-deal capital raising toward launching structured private real estate funds.

This evolution isn’t just a matter of efficiency, it’s a strategic step toward long-term value creation. From enhancing investor confidence to enabling faster execution and portfolio diversification, the fund model represents a new frontier in professionalizing operations.
