RE:The potential strategy with Dream Office
RE:The potential strategy with Dream Officei definetely don't think that is the plan. dream office divested non core properties for the most part to focus on a very specific part of d/t toronto's core. they have no interest in U.S. office assets even if they're good as artis has. i'm sure artis could negotiate the office assets to other U.S.-based REITs if they wanted out. but why sell counter cyclically? it's still a strong market...
i think manji is buying dream office because he recognizes how undervalued it is. trading at low $300s on the d/t core toronto portion on a square foot basis. "pre covid" price was closer to $600; HR just did a major transaction at $485 a few blocks away while Dream sold a Bay St property Jan. 2023 for $580psf. smart of artis/manji to average down on dream here. plus they get more power and influence, hopefully at some point soon, board representation...
