History

About

A long-standing tradition of excellence

From day one, our success has been rooted in a winning combination of real estate market savvy and a flexible, prudent approach to managing growth, operational risk and debt.

In every acquisition, construction, redevelopment and expansion project we have undertaken, we have consistently sought to optimize the returns on our unitholders’ investments. Year after year, our proactive portfolio management strategy has helped generate steady growth in occupancy rates and net rental revenues.

We are proud of this long-standing tradition of excellence, and we will continue to build on it in the years to come.
