We sat down with Jon Love, the Founder and Executive Chair of KingSett Capital, one of Canada’s premier private equity real estate investment firms managing over $18 billion in assets. Before founding KingSett, Jon served as CEO of Oxford Properties, a company originally founded by his father, where he led the firm for over a decade, cementing his legacy as a leader in Canadian real estate.
In this episode, we sat down with Jon to unpack the pressing issues shaping Canada’s real estate market and economy. We kicked off by discussing Canada’s new federal government and their ambitious plan to build 500,000 new homes annually. We dove into ideas like tax changes and development charges, how voters’ opinions and political will are shaping housing policy, and what’s really happening in Toronto’s market. Jon shared insights on proposals like tax increment financing, opportunities in the market, and the government’s role in housing development, including modular housing solutions. We explored the broader real estate landscape—industrial, retail, commercial, hotels—and debated when we might see some much-needed market certainty. Jon also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at KingSett Capital, offered his take on Canada’s role as a resource superpower, and explored how artificial intelligence could reshape the industry. We wrapped up with a discussion on the Bank of Canada’s next move and Jon’s best advice for real estate investors, with the reminder to always do your own research and consult a professional.
