The third path: Canadian closed-end real estate that does not trap capital
A structural explainer for Canadian accredited investors who have watched private real estate funds gate redemptions and want to understand the alternative.

Buyers researching second-home co-ownership reflexively ask whether the structure is a timeshare. The honest answer is structural, not rhetorical.

Canmore is the most structurally supply-constrained mountain real estate market in Canada. The municipal growth boundary caps physical expansion. The March 2025 Land Use Bylaw amendment eliminated Tourist Home designation for new properties going forward, with explicit protection for Three Sisters Mountain Village. Detached and semi-detached homes have appreciated 76.4% from 2019 to 2025 against rising tourism (Alberta Rockies +11.4% YoY visits in 2024; Banff 4.21M visitors 2024/25). This article works through the supply, demand, and regulatory mechanics.
