Q Management LP,” QMLP”, is a real estate asset and property management entity engaged in the Canadian multi family residential sector.
Q Management LP is a partnership between Conundrum Capital Corporation and Manulife Asset Management Private Markets formed in 2016.
The founding principals of Conundrum Capital Corporation have enjoyed a long tenure of working together in various real estate sectors dating back to 1990.
Today QMLP owns and manages 5234 suites in 45 properties with an AUM of 1.3 billion.
QMLP’s, longer term objective is to significantly increase the size and value of its Ontario based Multi Family portfolio and where appropriate access opportunities in other Canadian markets.
What we do
QMLP’s mandate is to acquire and provide asset and property management to enhance long term value to a growing portfolio of multi family residential assets in Canada. QMLP’s approach to value creation is to invest in Canada’s largest markets where positive demographic trends are evident and target properties are viewed as having been undermanaged and under capitalized. These acquisitions once stabilized and integrated into QMLP’s operating and capital control processes begin to deliver a sustainable higher return on investment.
Q Residential provides property management services to QMLP for its entire portfolio.
