Dear Fellow Unitholders,

In 2022, Morguard REIT was active, introducing dynamic new ways to generate steady returns over the long run. The Trust continued to pursue opportunities for intensification on some of our existing assets, including Burquitlam Plaza in Coquitlam, B.C., a large-scale project that will create value for many years to come. It also continued to move forward on significant development projects at Pine Centre Mall and Heritage Towne Centre.

Our network of real estate professionals worked hard to enhance and re-envision our properties, attract new tenants to fill space, and bring people back to our offices, industrial buildings, and shopping centres. The Trust’s Office Leasing Team introduced initiatives that offered prospective tenants turnkey office spaces that would allow for quick occupancy. Our Retail Leasing Team launched The Pop-Up Project, a national program designed to increase mall traffic and convert potential tenants into long-term occupants.

The Trust was active in operations and technology, upgrading building systems, improving connectivity in our buildings, and utilizing digital technology to help prospective tenants learn more about our properties. What’s more, we invested in ESG initiatives that minimize our environmental impact. These efforts reinforce our unwavering commitment to sustainability and supporting local communities.

Our financial performance for the year continued with its positive trending with same-store net operating income rising over the previous year. Our diversified portfolio of office, industrial and retail assets is now valued at $2.4 billion, and we are poised for the future and capable of adjusting to changing needs.

Thank you to our unitholders, employees and partners. I appreciate your confidence in the Trust and look forward to having you with us as we continue to actively achieve long-term value.

Sincerely, 
K. Rai Sahi 
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
