Yorkton Equity Group is built on the solid foundations of the multi award winning Yorkton Group of companies, with more than 30 years' experience in real estate. The company enjoys the financial and operational backing of the Yorkton Group of companies and is focused on growing the net asset value and net operating income of its portfolio through organic growth as well as operational efficiencies.

Management believes the COVID-19 pandemic provides tremendous real estate investment opportunities for the company, given the low interest rate environment, and the greater supply of available properties. Increased immigration levels in the coming years, as recently announced by the Federal Government are also expected to have a positive impact on the rental market.
