Maple House wins ULI Americas award
Tricon's Canary District rental community won a 2024 ULI Americas Award for Excellence.
Real Estate
Toronto purpose-built rental developer and operator, owned by Blackstone Real Estate since 2024.
In Canada, Tricon develops, owns and operates purpose-built rental apartment towers in downtown Toronto, such as The Selby, The Taylor, The Ivy and Maple House in the Canary District, often with joint venture partners. Its US business is single-family rental homes. The Toronto-founded company (co-founded in 1988) was taken private in 2024 by Blackstone Real Estate Partners X and BREIT in a US$3.5 billion equity deal, and Blackstone said it would complete Tricon's roughly $2.5 billion Canadian apartment development pipeline. Canadian roles in investments, development, finance and property operations are based in Toronto.

Canadian offices only. Tricon's careers page names Toronto as its only Canadian corporate location (alongside Orange County and San Francisco in the US), and its leadership directory lists Toronto-based staff. No official page giving a Toronto office address was found; the Toronto apartment buildings listed on the careers page are rental properties, not offices. This list may be incomplete.

Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Tricon Residential (Blackstone Real Estate)
The useful distinction to draw is whether the firm develops, operates, or only invests. Saying which of the three you want, and why, separates you immediately from candidates who say they like real estate because it is tangible.
A Toronto-headquartered platform now inside the largest real estate investor in the world, which is an unusual position and still being integrated.
Single-family rental at scale is an operating business as much as an investment, so the work is data and operations heavy.
Blackstone ownership means access to a global platform from a Canadian seat.
