02

Deployment

03

Distribution

Targeted distributions are paid monthly, or reinvested through the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) at a 1% unit price discount.

Illustrative only. Target total net returns are 10% per annum on Class A Units, 11% on Class B Units and 12% on Class C Units, and are targets only. The Trustees have initially set a distribution rate of 10% per annum payable monthly, and the rate and frequency may change on 30 days notice. Subscriptions close monthly and figures above assume distributions begin from the first full month following the applicable Closing. Distributions may be comprised in whole or in part of a return of capital. Figures assume the target rate is achieved and held constant, and are not a projection or a guarantee. Refer to the Offering Memorandum.

The portfolio

Four projects, one discipline

The Trust is positioned in four Toronto residential developments identified in the Offering Memorandum, together representing approximately 1,448 residential units and more than one million square feet of residential gross floor area. Every one sits within walking distance of a subway or GO station. Each project is selected on the same criteria: transit-oriented locations, long-term housing demand.

Renderings are illustrative and subject to change. Underlying properties are those identified as proposed investments of the Partnership in the Offering Memorandum. Project scope, unit counts and floor areas reflect current development concepts and are subject to change through the planning and approval process.
