This flash webinar will bring you up to speed on why MURBs are one of the key solutions to Canada’s rental housing crisis. It’s the fastest path for getting apartments built by the private sector, who’ve built ~90% of our country’s apartments. Let Build Canada Homes handle affordable housing and unleash the ingenuity of the private sector, and unlock private capital to build rental apartments!

Many housing task forces have been initiated in Canada. They’ve been initialed by federal, provincial and municipal government as well as industry associations. Many industry housing associations have also written on the topic of MURBs. This flash webinar will discuss why a government reintroduction of the MURB, which was part of the Liberal election promise and part of their housing agenda, is a game-changer for our country.

Why is this important?

  1. Task Force for Housing & Climate (2024) recommends increased CCA and capital gains deferral for reinvestment in new PBR; also an affordable housing tax credit modeled on LIHTC.
  2. National Housing Accord (2023) calls to increase CCA for new purpose-built rentals and streamline financing—directly aligned with MURB-style incentives.
  3. City of Toronto analysis (2024) shows MURB’s impact historically (~195,000 rentals nationwide; ~20,000 in Metro Toronto). (Toronto)
