That's a wild increase, no doubt landlords will have a difficult time finding tenants at those rates. Greedy.

Many have been offering incentives, like free wifi or 1 or 2 months free with long term leases.

$0.72/SF is right in line considering that also includes utilities. I paid about $640/month at my condo which was about 1030 SF so $0.62/SF (heat and water incl.).

CWB Building on 103rd to become ATCO Place by 2028. Sounds like ATCO is moving, and RTO full time.

Both points will make some happy here.

[Coldrsx]

^so I hear.

Good news.

[feepa]

^ it makes sense as they gave up the milner building behind their current red tower on 105 for condo conversions.

RTO on the other hand is just following trends. Not that I agree with trends. The pendulum will always swing.
