Top RE funds in Canada?

Can anyone shed some light on the top RE funds in Canada? What experience do you typically need to land junior positions there? How does comp look like for junior to mid levels?

Thanks

See below across different org types. Giving more detail on REPE as that's what most people here are focused on, the others I'll just list a few major players.

REPE (note a bunch of these are also vertically integrated OpCos and have other business lines like REITs and public equities):

- KingSett

- Slate

- Brookfield (note that they don't have much of an REPE team here, mostly just their traditional PE "Investments" team, but their Brookfield Properties AM/development branch is pretty active)

- Crestpoint

- Fiera

- Greybrook

- Starlight Investments

- Dream

- A bunch of smaller/less recognizable names as well as US-based shops with Canadian offices (Harbour Equity, Forgestone, Montez, Woodbourne, LaSalle, etc.)

REIT:

- RioCan

- Allied

- First Capital

- Choice

- SmartCentres

- CAPREIT

Developers:

- Tricon Residential

- Great Gulf/First Gulf

- Concord

- Minto

- Daniels

- Mattamy Homes

- Tridel

Pension Funds:

- CPPIB

- Oxford

- Cadillac Fairview

- Ivanhoe Cambridge

- PSP

- HOOPP
