Strategic context
Packaged Living already manages a residential platform covering several rental housing segments, including homes developed with Aviva Investors and its FRESH single‑family strategy with Fiera Real Estate.
The acquisition of Apo adds an established third‑party client base alongside Packaged Living's existing investment and development activities. The transaction also creates opportunities to increase recurring management income and oversee service delivery across a larger portfolio.
