Believes lower interest rates will help prospects of Canadian REIT sector. Falling rates will mean less interest expenses for real estate companies. Seeing lots off opportunity in office space market. Expecting market trend to reverse as more people return to working at the office. Doesn't see a sharp recovery, but will see a gradual recovery. Good time to buy cheap REIT stocks. Even with a hybrid working model - demand will continue for "in person" meetings.
Canada's largest industrial REIT with properties in Canada, Europe and Asia. Increasing rents has helped the business, however, rents have appeared to plateaued lately. Concerns that large revenue stream from Magna will be at risk from tariffs. Would buy more shares upon stock price weakness. Strong business overall.
Cell phone tower owner/operator - leases out to providers. Very good business as towers don't need to be re-developed. Able to grow earnings at a consistent basis. A little bit more debt than is preferred, but with falling interest rates - will be good for business. Good time to invest in company, and has been buying shares.
Owns shares in business. Portfolio includes properties in Alberta which is not rent controlled. Recent share price sell-off not a concern. Overall is a high quality business. Concern around tariffs not a worry. Would recommend buying. Alberta is a great place to do business, and is expected to keep growing (good for business).
