Concert Properties Ltd., through Concert Income Properties ("Concert"), today announced the formation of a joint venture with a Brookfield affiliate for an eight-property Canadian industrial portfolio totaling approximately 5.3 million square feet. The transaction values the portfolio at approximately C$1 billion.
The portfolio comprises a mix of single-tenant and multi-tenant industrial properties across Canada's largest urban logistics markets, including Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Ottawa. Fully leased to a diverse roster of credit tenants, the assets benefit from strong connectivity to critical highway, airport, and rail infrastructure and represent stabilized, high-quality industrial real estate with embedded income growth potential.
"We are pleased to be partnering with Brookfield, a globally recognized firm with deep expertise and a strong track record in real estate," said Lindsay Brand, Chief Investment Officer of Concert Properties Ltd. "Concert has a history of building partnerships defined by shared alignment and a long-term view, and this one is no different. Brookfield brings global scale and a disciplined approach to real estate investment, and we are excited about what we can build together. We look forward to actively managing this portfolio on behalf of the joint venture and to identifying ways to grow this relationship over time."
"This investment reflects Brookfield's conviction in high-quality logistics real estate in supply-constrained, high-barrier markets," said Andy Smith, Managing Partner, Real Estate, Brookfield. "Concert has assembled and managed a strong Canadian industrial portfolio, and we are pleased to partner with them on assets that align well with our global logistics strategy. We look forward to working together to create long-term value across the portfolio."
CIBC and CBRE acted as advisors to Concert on the transaction.
