What Lankin Investments does

Lankin Investments is a privately held Canadian real estate investment and management firm founded circa 2010 and headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario. The firm specializes in institutional-grade Canadian multi-family rental real estate and manages a portfolio exceeding C$2 billion across 70 properties and 6,200+ units, with concentrations in Southern Ontario (Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Guelph, and others) and Alberta (Edmonton, Sherwood Park). Lankin operates through two core fund vehicles — Lankin Apartment REIT and Lankin Real Estate Growth LP — complemented by a Private Partnerships channel for institutional and high-net-worth investors, an owned property management company, and a development management business with a C$1B+ pipeline. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring management and performance fees (e.g., a 30% profit-sharing fee on the REIT, a 7% performance fee on the Growth LP), asset management fees, and project-based returns from private partnerships, with product distribution handled in-house and through exempt market dealer Parvis Invest Inc. The firm targets 10%-14% net annual returns on the REIT and 10%-12% on the Growth LP and serves a base of 4,000+ Canadian investors alongside institutional and family office capital partners. Leadership is anchored by co-founder and CEO Kyle Pulis, CFO Syl DeFrancesco, COO Kyle Hulme, and President of Private Capital Markets Ray Punn, supported by a deep bench of VPs in institutional sales, asset management, fund management, and capital markets.
