QuadReal Property Group sat down with Anthony Lanni, Executive Vice President, Residential, to talk about what these recognitions mean, and where QuadReal Property Group is headed. Seven consecutive years of growing recognition. What does that tell you about where the portfolio stands? It tells me its approach is working and that it's sustainable. QuadReal Property Group is delivering vibrant communities, strong property management, and quality amenities - and when you pair these recognitions with last year's 4.7 out of 5 Google Rating for multifamily, it shows residents are responding to that. Over 87% of its Canadian multifamily portfolio exceeded the Kingsley Index(TM) last year. Residential remains a core area of conviction for QuadReal, and QuadReal Property Group is committed to continuing to raise the bar on both property management excellence and housing supply in key markets. What's actually driving satisfaction at the property level? It comes down to its on-site teams. Residents want to feel heard and see genuine follow-through. Its people are deeply invested in providing reliable service and holding themselves accountable to high standards. That consistency, day in and day out, is what moves the needle. How does resident experience connect to the broader investment thesis? Operational excellence and customer experience aren't just nice to have elements. They're core to how QuadReal Property Group create long-term value. When residents choose to renew and recommend its communities, it directly supports occupancy, retention, and asset performance. A well-run portfolio is a more valuable portfolio, and that's a principle QuadReal Property Group think every strategic partner can appreciate. What's the message to the teams behind these results? These awards belong to them. What QuadReal Property Group is recognizing here is earned through daily actions: responding to service requests, maintaining property standards, building real relationships with residents. The commitment of its property management teams is what sets QuadReal apart, and I couldn't be prouder of what they've built. What comes next for the Canadian residential portfolio? QuadReal Property Group is focused on two things: continuing to add quality housing in undersupplied markets, and delivering exceptional experiences across every property - whether that's its high-rise portfolio or its low-rise and land lease communities under the Parkbridge brand. Its goal is simple. Accelerate quality of life for everyone who calls a QuadReal or Parkbridge property home. About QuadReal Property Group.
