Impact Investing Housing Fund – Data Analytics

Ayrshire is an investment management firm focused principally on real estate investing in Alberta. We own retail,
office and residential properties in multiple markets. Recently we have seen a shift in investment demand associated with new acquisition and developments of multifamily apartment housing in Western Canada. Recently Ayrshire received federal funding through CHMC Rental Construction Financing Program to build affordable housing units for a project located in the Beverly community in Edmonton. Given it’s strong performance and impact investing nature, Ayrhsire has undergone research to raise capital for an Impact investing fund focused on core needs housing to service Canadian’s through affordable housing, seniors housing, student housing, accessible needs housing, etc. Given subsidy programs and available public private partnerships opportunities emerging in Western Canadian urban centers, there are strong tailwinds and an opportunistic time to be investing in multifamily developments that have measurable social impacts. We are needing an intern to help gather economic and financial data to help identify markets where Ayrshire’s investment thesis is supported. This research may be specific to some opportunities in our deal pipeline but will generally be focused on relative fundamentals important to real property markets. We have actively been looking for ways to effectively participate in impact investment and and need resources to deliver the quality of analysis that our executive team is expecting.
