May 3, 2012 (Calgary AB) -avenue living is pleased to announce that it has reached over 2,000 doors under operation with a series of assets being acquired in Edmonton, Alberta. The Greater Edmonton Area constitutes a very large market for renters and apartment owners and will now become our 9th operating center across the Prairies.

"Edmonton represents a fantastic opportunity to continue to consolidate mid-market, profitable apartments simply because of the sheer size of the market." said Carl Diodati, Chief Investment Officer for avenue living. "Now that speculative activity has significantly subsided, we are witnessing a return to fundamentals which is quite encouraging. Edmonton's rent affordibility is the highest in all of Western Canada. We like that."
