Episode 105 - Toronto Under Construction with Jim Ritchie of Tridel and Hunter Milborne of Milborne Group

In Episode 105, Ben sits down with Jim Ritchie of Tridel and Hunter Milborne of Milborne Group for a wide-ranging discussion that blends market history with today’s realities. Drawing on research about the early 1990s real estate crisis, the post-recession recovery of the late 1990s, the Global Financial Crisis, and more recent commentary on demand and product mix, the conversation explores how lending practices, leverage, buyer psychology and product strategy have shaped Toronto’s housing cycles. From Olympia & York to stacked townhouses, from luxury conversions to micro-suites, the episode examines what actually changes in downturns, what repeats, and what lessons still apply as the market recalibrates once again. *Sponsored by: BCGi Baron Consulting Group Executive Search*
