HOW WE HELP YOU BUILD YOUR WEALTH
CANREIT's goal is to own a North American-based portfolio of high-quality real estate assets, with annual rental growth built into long-term leases. Through our unique relationship with local developers, we seek a high degree of alignment in interests and a comprehensive understanding of their real estate objectives and long-term planning. We also benefit from developers’ insights into today’s continually evolving retail and residential marketplace, helping to shape our short and medium term strategy. These advantages, coupled with a conservative approach to financial management, allows for an attractive balance of growth and security, what we mean when we describe CANREIT's motto: “Wisdom Creates Wealth".
