Dream Office REIT (D.UN-T) has garnered attention for its focused portfolio primarily located in downtown Toronto, which is appealing mainly to smaller tenants. Experts express optimism regarding a potential recovery in the office market, suggesting that conditions are becoming favorable. The stock is considered inexpensive at present; however, the overall yield has seen a reduction to about 6%. The potential for a single asset to significantly enhance leasing activity could drive further appreciation in stock value. Investors should weigh these prospects against the current yield, which remains attractive yet lower than previous levels.
It has been a tough environment for REITs in general, although industrial REITs have been holding up better than the rest. DIR.UN has a strong free cash flow yield, it offers a distribution yield of 5.4%, and has a high occupancy rate of 96%. Its FFO/debt ratio has been climbing over the years, signalling its funds from operations have been growing relative to its debt load. We would be comfortable buying DIR.UN for a long-term hold.

Investors really do not like commercial office companies right now. D.UN has an 80% in-place occupancy rate, down from year end (0.8%) and down 1.5% from last year's comparable quarter. It is priced well, but there are risks here, and its small size adds risk as well. We would see it as a higher-risk hold.

In very different sectors. Both trade at wide discount to NAV. Neither has catalysts on horizon. CSH.UN at risk of cutting distribution, which is not being covered due to lower occupancy. CSH trustees see growth coming, but can it recover occupancy levels lost during Covid? He's watching that, as it's hard to invest in the face of a possible cut. D.UN is in an extremely tough sector. Office space, globally, has suffered with work from home. Office sector is not dead, but vacancy rates are in high teens and climbing. A good operator, Dream still owns good office buildings, especially in Toronto.

Very concentrated portfolio in downtown Toronto, catering to smaller users. A call on the office market recovery, and the recovery is happening. Inexpensive. If one particular asset can boost leases, stock could do quite well. If not, you're only getting the yield of ~6% (which is good, but has been reduced).
