Ontario’s housing market went from one of the hottest development booms in history to a landscape of stalled projects, cancelled developments and deepening affordability challenges.
Host Adam Jacobs sits down with Richard Lyall, president and CEO of RESCON, to unpack how we got here and whether there’s a path forward.
What you’ll learn:
- How Ontario became one of the most expensive and difficult places to build in North America.
- The housing-to-income ratio framework for measuring systemic dysfunction.
- Why restrictive zoning policies created the wrong housing mix.
- How process unpredictability and regulatory mission creep compound construction costs.
- The convergence of PropTech, digitization and multiplexing as near-term recovery drivers.
Richard Lyall is the president and CEO of RESCON (Residential Construction Council of Ontario) and a leading advocate for the construction and development industry, with decades of experience navigating policy, approvals, and housing economics. With a background spanning trade policy, industrial development and construction, Lyall brings deep expertise in housing affordability, development charges, labour supply and regulatory reform.
