One of the top  core plus and value ad players in Canada, only behind Starwood in terms of AUM. They are developing more buildings themselves so you could be doing opportunistic. I interviewed there 1.5 years ago. Comp was somewhere around $115 to $130 all in depending on experience for senior analyst. Probably increased since then. Know others in the industry who worked there. Fairly long hours, great culture. Strong multi family focus and similar strats on each deal i.e. buy below replacement cost, reno etc. re lease to market. Would be curious to hear what the present nterviews process looks like

 

Starlight*

But yeah agreed with Eyesore - great Canadian shop and anyone would be happy to work there. They typically keep a pretty low profile despite their size. Can't speak to comp or culture, but like Starlight they have a bread and butter multifamily strategy that they apply to almost every deal, although they're now dabbling in development.

They typically target more traditional finance backgrounds at analyst/associate from my understanding - a lot of CFAs and ex-banking guys. Knowing that I'd expect comp to be in the range quoted above to attract that type of profile, similar to other shops that target those backgrounds (KingSett, pension funds, etc.).

EDIT: Just realized OP is interviewing for an Investment Management role - I assume that's more of a portfolio/asset management position, so comps probably a bit lower.

 

What does core+ and value add mean in this context? What are other types of plays I should learn about?

 

How the times have changed since my reply last year - I don't know process but these guys have been struggling with redemption requests lined up out the door since their rebrand and I would assume as a consequence having trouble with capital raising. Just something to be aware of. They also do not run lean, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of layoffs.
