Fengate Asset Management, through its retail estate division, aims to address affordability concerns. In a recent discussion, Jaime McKenna, president of Fengate Real Estate, highlighted the investment opportunity in housing, the importance of government partnerships in delivering affordability, and the differences between the Canadian and American housing experiences.
