🏠 Renting a two-bedroom apartment in #Montreal in the year 2032 will cost $4,325 per month, according to projections from a Concordia University research partnership with Equiton Inc. Associate professor of finance and real estate at the Concordia University - John Molson School of Business, Erkan Yönder, uses #AI to predict the future cost of rent in his research paper, “AI-Driven Insights into Key Factors Contributing to Rental Growth Across Canada.” “This is a problem for everyone who lives in Canada,” Yönder explains. He and Aaron Pittman, senior vice-president and head of Canadian institutional investments at Equiton, agree that these research findings should motivate politicians, the private sector and citizens to dramatically rethink the future of housing across the country. Currently, annual housing completions are between one and three percent across Canada, so new dwellings must be built at four to 10 times the current rate. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g_Pw9aqJ #RealEstate #property #investment #HousingCrisis

🎭 The artistic director of Geordie Theatre, Jimmy Blais, Attd 09, is energizing #Montreal’s theatre scene. Blais was the first #Indigenous artistic director of a non-culturally mandated theatre company in the province of #Quebec. Founded in 1980, the English-language theatre company is familiar to generations of Montreal anglophones. 👏 The actor, director and playwright also established an Indigenous Artistic Growth Program, which has commissioned works from three playwrights so far. “Mentorship has been a big part of it,” Blais remarks. “I love the idea of constantly nurturing the Indigenous talent pool.” 👉 Learn more about Geordie Theatre’s 2024-25 season: https://lnkd.in/eKbv6eGV #CUpride #GeordieTheatre #Theatre
