Jun 26, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 7 opinions in the last 12 months.
Granite REIT (GRT.UN-T) is a well-regarded player in the industrial real estate sector, particularly known for its substantial lease with auto-part maker Magna and a diversified portfolio across Tier 1 markets such as the Greater Toronto Area and the rapidly growing Florida-Texas belt. Experts have praised the company's ability to navigate challenges related to tariffs and inflation, with a positive outlook on leasing activity bouncing back after a slowdown. Despite concerns about the industrial warehouse sector being overbuilt during the pandemic, Granite REIT benefits from a clean balance sheet and solid cash flow, primarily from Magna, which is moving towards longer-term contracts. Analysts note that the stock is trading at a discount to its net asset value (NAV) with a healthy dividend yield, positioning it well for continued growth as the market stabilizes. Overall, the consensus sees potential for positive returns as REITs begin to recover into 2027.
Will continue to hold.
Solid dividend that is dependable.
Expecting a $85 share price in 2024.
Excellent business.

It is much less exposed to interest rates than other REIT's and its leverage is only 33% of the balance sheet, less than other REIT's. Also it has little exposure to office towers. With more manufacturing there is more need for wholesale warehouse space so it is priced at a premium. It's interesting that the older warehouses have 14 and 18 foot ceilings whereas new ones have 30 and 60 foot ceilings due to robotics and stacking. Older ones are being retired.

Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with GRT.UN has triggered its stop at $77. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 13%, when combined with previous recommendations.
Likes fundamentals of industrial real estate business.
Large customers like Amazon not going away.
Demand for manufacturing very strong with shift back to North America (away from China).
Long term leases with predictable revenues.
Brendan CaldwellIt trades at a 15% discount to NAV which is close to $100. Has a 99% occupancy rate and 80% of its leases in 2023 have been renewed at a 20% increase in rent. It is a high quality REIT with good real estate and industrial exposure. Besides Canada it has global exposure with the U.S. and Europe. E-commerce is coming back because on-shoring is happening now and land is needed for chip plants, EV production facilities, etc. Therefore industrial REIT's should do well. There is risk in office REIT's but Granite has only 1% exposure to office space.

Robert LauzonPremium contentPremium contentThe question was on both Granite REIT and Cap REIT. They are both very different companies and he likes them both. Granite REIT is in the industrial warehouse sector in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, which he's bullish on. It has good management and trades at a good discount to NAV. Cap REIT is in the multi-family sector with great assets, exposure to Ontario and Toronto and good management. There is an overhang re apartment rents which are under government discussion. There are a number of bad owners in the news but this does not apply to REIT's

Holds a nice, diverse portfolio of industrial real estate, not office buildings or malls. Pays a good yield. Is less levered than other REITs, so it has a lot of dry powder to buy companies and less effected by higher interest rates. Trades far lower than its NAV, maybe 80%.
