What A Developer Is Building Now, And Planning For Next

Published August 4, 2026 · 2542

Show Notes

Nick & Dan are joined by Jacob Cohen, President of Daniels Corp. for a field report from inside a GTA development company. Why an activity slowdown worries developers more than falling prices, which input broke first: land, construction costs, rates, or sales velocity, and what still makes sense to build when almost nothing pencils.

With starts near zero since 2023, the completions that should land in 2027–2029 aren't coming. Jake walks through the math, the industry's sudden rush into purpose-built rental after 30 years of ignoring it, whether the investor-driven condo model is paused or finished, and what he'd tell an investor weighing pre-construction today.
