In 1996, Thomas Schwartz partnered with Michael Stein to establish Canadian Apartment Properties REIT, which became one of Canada's largest residential landlords.[7] CAPREIT went public with an initial public offering in 1997.

In 2004, CAPREIT acquired rival Residential Equities REIT for $500 million.[8] At the time of the merger, the company had 24,238 rental apartments and townhouse units across the country.[9]

In 2007, CAPREIT made its first acquisition in manufactured home communities.[2][10]

In 2012, CAPREIT purchased Montreal's Olympic Village for $176.5 million.[11]

In 2019, the company spun-off its European holdings into a separate company, European Residential REIT. CAPREIT retains a stake in the company, which owns over 5,865 rental apartment units in the Netherlands.[12] In March 2021, CAPREIT extended a €165 million agreement with European Residential REIT until 2023.[13]

CAPREIT was added to the TSX 60 index on June 22, 2020.[14]
