E6: Redefining the Future of Renting with Julian Battiston, Co-Founder and CEO of the Oben Group

Written by Mitch Fanning | September 1, 2020 at 4:00 AM

"We were seeing this growing number of people, especially Millennials, turning to the rental market. The problem was, the options for these renters were quite limited, particularly in the higher-end rental market." — Julian Battiston

Millennials have turned to the rental market for housing. But their options, particularly in the higher-end rental market, are limited. Besides, these renters are coping with an outdated property management model that has yet to adopt the service culture that virtually every other industry has already acquired. In this episode, we discussed the purpose-built, multi-family, high-end rental market on the Sync Or Swim podcast!

Featuring:

Julian Battiston, co-founder and CEO of the Oben Group, a Toronto-based real estate company focused on upscale purpose-built developments.

What we talked about:

  • Why there's a need for a purpose-built, high-end rental property
  • How COVID has affected that market
  • What role smart technology plays in high-end rentals
  • Where the high-end rental market in Toronto is going in a post-COVID world
