Equiton has opened a new office in Dallas as the firm prepares to expand into U.S. multi-family real estate.

A company spokesman told Connect that Equiton is in the final stages of launching a U.S. apartment fund, with an open-ended structure aimed at Canadian investors. The forthcoming fund is similar in design to Equiton’s flagship Apartment Fund.

Located in the Trammell Crow Center in downtown Dallas, the new office will serve as the headquarters for Equiton’s U.S. real estate investment operations. The company said the location was chosen for its presence in one of the United States’ leading financial centres, home to major financial institutions serving clients nationwide.

The expansion comes as Equiton grows its asset base, which exceeded $1.7 billion as of March 31. The firm said it sees strong opportunities in U.S. multi-family real estate, particularly in high-growth Sun Belt markets that have benefited from population growth, economic expansion and sustained demand for rental housing.

“Establishing a physical presence in the US, one of the world’s largest and most dynamic real estate markets, is a natural next step for us at Equiton,” said Jason Roque, CEO and founder of Equiton. “Our strength has always been our ability to look closely at a market, understand what is driving it, and identify opportunities that others may overlook. We see significant potential in the regions we are targeting and believe our disciplined approach positions us well to create long-term value.”

The Dallas office will support the company’s U.S. investment platform, including acquisitions, strategic partnerships and investor-facing operations. Equiton said the office will also provide a base for future U.S.-focused initiatives serving both Canadian and American investors.

“This expansion draws on our senior leadership team’s decades of experience in multifamily real estate across North America,” said Helen Hurlbut, president and CFO of Equiton. “The scale and diversity of the U.S. market create a strong opportunity to build on our expertise, deepen industry relationships, and support Equiton’s continued evolution.”

Equiton said its U.S. expansion builds on its existing approach of identifying investment opportunities through due diligence, market expertise and active real estate management. The firm’s investment offerings span multi-family residential, conventional commercial real estate and development projects.

Hamilton-based Equiton is a vertically integrated private real estate investment firm that provides access to institutional-quality private real estate investments. The company manages a portfolio across residential, commercial and development assets, with a focus on governance, transparency and long-term value creation.
