Apartment building owners

Own a 20+ unit apartment building in Kitchener? We take those mandates now.

Homes, condos and smaller buildings here are still on the waitlist below. A building of 20 or more units carries its own site staff, so it can be run properly from day one.

Kitchener Property Management

KEILTY does not manage homes, condos or smaller buildings in Kitchener today. We are a South Eastern Ontario firm, run out of Kingston since 2003, and Kitchener is a market we are evaluating rather than one we are quietly taking on. The exception is an apartment building of 20 or more units, which we take on now. If you own a smaller rental here, tell us. You will hear from us the day we open, and from nobody else in the meantime.

What we know about this market

The Kitchener rental market, as we read it

The innovation district around Communitech and the Breithaupt Block gives downtown Kitchener a tenant profile that looks more like Toronto than like the rest of the region, and prices accordingly.

Conestoga College's downtown campuses have added significant student demand in buildings that were not originally built for it, which changes turnover, wear and the kind of screening that actually works.

The ION line ties Kitchener to Waterloo and Cambridge tightly enough that owners often think of the three cities as one market. They are not one market, and pricing them as though they were is a common and expensive mistake.

Where this leaves you today

  • KEILTY cannot take on a Kitchener home, condo or small building right now.
  • Apartment buildings of 20 or more units are the exception. They carry their own site staff, and we take those mandates now.
  • We are evaluating the market for a future local team.
  • Join the list and you will hear from us first.
  • No referral fees, and your details are not passed to anyone else.

Where KEILTY manages today

From our head office in Kingston, KEILTY manages residential and commercial property through South Eastern Ontario, out to Ottawa and along the lake through Northumberland and Durham. If your portfolio spans markets and part of it sits inside that footprint, we can talk about that part today.

We staff before we sell
We open a market only once there is a local team in it. Waterloo Region is a five hour drive from our head office, and that is not a service model. A 20+ unit building brings its own site staff, which is why it is the one exception.
Kitchener is its own discipline
A tech tenant base, a student leasing calendar and older downtown stock each call for a different playbook. Doing this properly means knowing which applies.
We would rather say no
We could take your house or condo today and manage it remotely. Owners who have been through that arrangement know how it ends.

Every entry is a data point in whether Kitchener gets a KEILTY team, and how soon. It is the most direct influence you can have on that decision.

Kitchener property management questions

Does KEILTY manage property in Kitchener?
Not homes, condos or smaller buildings yet. KEILTY does take on apartment buildings of 20 or more units in Kitchener now. For everything else, KEILTY manages through South Eastern Ontario from a head office in Kingston, and Kitchener is a market we are evaluating for a future local team.
Will you manage my Kitchener property remotely?
No. We open a market only when we can staff it locally. Remote management is how owners end up with slow maintenance and unexplained vacancy, and we are not willing to put our name on it. The exception is an apartment building of 20 or more units, which carries its own site staff, so it is run on site rather than from a distance.
When will KEILTY open in Kitchener?
There is no date. Demand from owners on this list is one of the inputs to that decision, which is the plain reason to add your name.
I own property in Kitchener and inside your footprint. Can you help with part of it?
Yes. Anything inside our current service area we can take on now. Tell us about the whole portfolio and we will be clear about which parts we can and cannot manage.

When Kitchener opens, you will already know.

Add your property to the list and we will come to you.
