Talking point: Alfred offers a residential-management platform to landlords. “The market is less fragmented in Canada; there are fewer real estate players that own and develop large apartment buildings in the U.S. and they are quickly buying and developing apartment buildings specifically for rental,” said Alfred president Arik Benzino in an interview with The Logic, on why the company is expanding here. The expansion will be led by Stephen Tapp, previous head of WeWork Canada.
