The five-storey Monarch Apartments in Colwood is Skyline Living’s newest development of rental homes, offering eight open-concept floor plans.

Based on the recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s annual report on the state of Canada’s rental market, CBC reports that a surge in demand pushed Canada’s rental market to its tightest level in two decades last year, with the vacancy rate in purpose-built apartments dipping below 2% and rent for new tenants going up by 18%.

Another city report indicated that there was a huge need for more rental housing options across the Capital Regional district. Despite the growth in the stock of purpose-built rental housing, the proportion of rental households in Colwood was growing. As of 2018, the rental vacancy rate was zero, meaning there were virtually no vacant units available for rent.

This is why Monarch Apartments, Skyline Living’s newest development in Colwood, BC, is attracting a lot of attention from apartment searchers on both the mainland and across Vancouver Island.

Built by District Group and managed by Skyline Living, this five-storey property is located at 3554 Ryder Hesjedal Way, home to The Seascape amenity space and a wide variety of bachelor, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites.
