Just under two months ago, we had the honour of ringing the opening bell at the Toronto Stock Exchange to mark 25 years of growth, innovation, and community-building at Mainstreet Equity (TSX: MEQ). This moment was a celebration of every person, partnership, and step along the way, and a reminder of what’s possible when we stay true to our purpose. Here’s to the next chapter.

  • 🎥https://lnkd.in/gFPBV-3q Why we built Mainstreet exactly the way we did In this Capital Compounders Show clip analyst Jordan Zinberg of Bedford Park Capital lays out why Mainstreet still flies under Bay Street’s radar and why that is our super power. 🔑 Key take-aways from Jordan’s conversation with host Robin Speziale: • CEO ownership Bob Dhillon still owns roughly fifty percent of MEQ and approaches every decision as an investor first • Zero dilution in twenty two years The share count has not changed since our IPO and growth is funded by reinvesting free cash flow and CMHC insured debt • Right geography and right rules Western Canada’s free market rental environment lets us capture true market rents • Scale that compounds We now own more than eighteen thousand five hundred+ apartments and are on track for twenty thousand by year end thanks to value add mid sized buildings that large funds overlook • Operational obsession From financing strategy to a single lobby lightbulb every detail counts Thank you Jordan and Robin for the thoughtful analysis and for sharing those classic Bob stories
