8,800 apartments built in Edmonton last year, seeing more demand

Edmonton and surrounding areas are experiencing growth, with high demand for row houses and apartments due to affordability and rising single-occupancy households, expected to reach 40% by 2041. Beaumont leads population growth, followed by Leduc, driven by economic development. Provincial intervention on infill bylaws may affect housing starts, but development will continue through infill, suburban, and regional projects, with diverse housing options planned.
