The REIT was formed to own a diversified portfolio of multi-suite residential rental properties across Canada and the U.S. Its primary objectives are: to generate stable and growing cash distributions to Unitholders on a tax-efficient basis; to enhance the value of its portfolio and the long-term value of its units through active asset and property management; and to expand the REIT’s asset base, primarily through acquisitions and property improvements.

Dear Fellow Unitholders,

In 2022, Morguard North American Residential REIT maximized its returns through active asset and property management. The REIT’s funds from operations increased considerably due to organic growth. Revenue and net operating income rose versus the previous year and the REIT’s average monthly rent and occupancy were at solid levels. The REIT’s diverse portfolio of assets is now valued at $3.6 billion.

This past year, we actively searched for high demand and profitable North American multi-suite residential properties to further raise the quality of our portfolio. Working together with our integrated network of real estate professionals, we disposed of three non-core assets and redeployed the capital towards three premier acquisitions increasing our footprint in both the Chicago and Greater Washington D.C. markets. In the Windy City, we purchased Echelon Chicago, a luxury, best-in-class, 350-suite property centrally located at the West Loop and River North. In the Greater Washington D.C. area, we acquired the retail component of Rockville Town Square and completed in early 2023 the purchase of the remaining 50% of The Fenestra at Rockville Town Square. This asset is a suburban mixed-use property with a strong pedigree and over 180,000 square feet of commercial area.

The REIT remained committed to undertake significant property improvements making our properties even more appealing, creating operational efficiencies that made our tenants’ lives better. We continued to use technology to keep our tenants informed, and sustainability remained an integral part of our daily culture.

We are well positioned for future growth. Our experienced team of professionals has the skill and experience necessary to create value in the REIT’s portfolio, and the REIT has the liquidity required to add high-quality multi-suite residential assets in strategic North American markets.

Many thanks to our valued Unitholders, employees and partners. We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to actively working with you to elevate our portfolio and sustain long-term growth.

Sincerely, 
K. Rai Sahi 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
