Edmonton Tops Canada in New Housing Starts

Edmonton also ranks among Canada’s top cities for new home construction, with 63 starts per 10,000 residents in early 2025.
The city’s growing population and rental demand are driving most new developments.
Construction costs and rising labor expenses are contributing to higher housing prices despite the increase in builds.
Rezoning policies have aimed to boost density but remain controversial among residents and developers.
