TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / Canada's real estate development sector is facing a challenge that no amount of rezoning, financing reform, or government incentive can fully resolve on its own: a deepening shortage of skilled construction workers that is driving up costs, extending timelines, and threatening to derail the housing supply Canada so urgently needs. Industry leaders are sounding the alarm, and few are more direct about its consequences than Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi, President & CEO of Sky Property Group Inc.

Unlocking Canada's Hidden Housing Supply: Why Brownfield Redevelopment Must Be a National Priority

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / Across Canada's fastest-growing urban centres, a powerful planning philosophy is gaining momentum - one that promises to transform not only how cities are designed, but how real estate is developed, financed, and valued.

Multi-Generational Living Is Reshaping Canada's Housing Market - And Developers Who Ignore It Will Be Left Behind
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / Canada's housing crisis has sparked a quiet revolution in how families choose to live.

Inclusionary Zoning in Canada: How Smart Policy Can Bridge the Affordable Housing Gap Without Killing Development
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / Canada's housing affordability crisis has pushed municipal governments into uncharted policy territory. Across the country, cities are turning to inclusionary zoning - a planning tool that requires market-rate developers to include a percentage of affordable units within new residential projects - as a mechanism to generate affordable housing supply without direct government funding. The debate over whether inclusionary zoning is a practical solution or a well-intentioned barrier to supply is one of the most consequential conversations in Canadian real estate right now. Few people are better positioned to weigh in than Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi, President & CEO of Sky Property Group Inc.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / As housing affordability continues to strain households across Canada, a growing number of urban planners, policymakers, and real estate developers are turning their attention to one of the country's most underutilized assets: the backyard.

For Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi, President & CEO of Sky Property Group Inc., the conversation around secondary suites is long overdue.
