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 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]
