Knightstone is Canada’s leading developer of purpose-built academic assets – we partner with leading Canadian institutions to create customized real estate solutions for on and off-campus student housing. Knightstone owns and manages a portfolio of mixed-use academic developments comprised of over 3,100 beds within 2 million square feet with another 2,000 beds currently under development. Our current institutional partners include University of Toronto, McMaster University, and Centennial College. We incorporate innovative design principles to craft a new vision for student housing founded on building unique spaces that empower students to grow personally and academically in a comfortable and supportive environment. Our goal is to have a positive impact on the student experience by creating spaces where students can live, learn and connect.

Knightstone’s executive team has extensive experience in the hospitality industry across Canada and the United States. Our mandate is to invest in, acquire and own hotels in strong hospitality markets with distinct locational advantages and strong brand identities. Working with the best-in-class brands and management companies, Knightstone works to optimize each property by providing exceptional spaces and service offerings that enhance the guest experience.

Knightstone takes a hands-on approach to building condos, customizing each development’s design to suit the physical and cultural landscape in which the project exists. We believe in the neighbourhoods in which we invest and build, but we also take pride in shaping the evolving character of those neighbourhoods. We build with the home owner in mind.

Knightstone has developed over 1 million square feet of retail throughout southern Ontario. Our development strategy is to tactically select well-trafficked locations and attract best in class national tenants with strong covenants while internally managing these properties to ensure a high quality experience for our tenants and the consumer.
