What does Cominar REIT do? Cominar REIT was founded in 1998 and is one of the largest real estate investment trusts in Canada. The company is headquartered in Quebec City, but owns and operates properties in many provinces across Canada. Cominar's business model is to acquire, develop, and manage first-class properties for office, retail, and industrial applications. As a real estate investment trust, Cominar does not have to pay income tax as a company and instead distributes its profits to its shareholders. The company operates in various sectors, with office properties being the largest followed by retail and industrial properties. It also owns and manages residential properties and parking lots. As of 2020, Cominar owned 371 buildings with a total rentable area of 34.8 million square feet. The properties are located in 5 Canadian provinces: Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Cominar offers a variety of products that meet the different needs of its customers. Its portfolio includes downtown office buildings, key properties on main business streets, retail spaces in residential areas, and industrial buildings in eight different industrial parks. Cominar is also the largest owner of parking lots in Quebec and manages approximately 36,000 parking spaces acquired either independently or as part of real estate purchases. Over the years, Cominar has made several acquisitions and mergers to expand its real estate portfolio. In 2000, it acquired 275 retail properties from Ivanhoe Cambridge for 1.2 billion Canadian dollars. In 2010, the company merged with Canmarc REIT, resulting in a 60% increase in the number of properties managed. In 2015, Cominar started a new business strategy to focus on its core markets in Quebec and Ontario. As part of this strategy, Cominar sold its properties in the western provinces of Canada and acquired 91 buildings in Quebec and Ontario. This restructuring led to a reduction in the overall number of managed properties but also increased the proportion of first-class buildings in the core markets. Cominar's largest tenant is the government of Quebec, which owns approximately 40% of the rented area. Other significant tenants include major retailers and banks, as well as a variety of small and medium-sized businesses. Overall, Cominar has a stable and diversified portfolio of first-class properties in its core markets of Quebec and Ontario. The company relies on a solid financial foundation that allows it to continue to grow and satisfy its shareholders. Cominar REIT is one of the most popular companies on Eulerpool.
