Apartment building management in Oshawa.

Oshawa has the largest stock of older purpose-built rental in Durham Region, much of it built in the 1960s and 1970s during the auto industry boom. Towers and walk-ups sit downtown and along the main north-south roads. Demand comes from students, healthcare and manufacturing workers and commuters. Owners deal with older buildings, varied tenant profiles and a City that is reviewing how it licenses rental housing.
