Investor Relations

Automotive Properties REIT offers a unique opportunity to invest in a portfolio of best-in-class urban properties underlying Canadian and American automotive and OEM dealership and service businesses, representing leading brands. The primary objective of the REIT is to create long-term value for Unitholders by generating sustainable tax-efficient cash flow and capital appreciation.

Investment Highlights

The REIT’s properties are located in urban areas that are specifically zoned for automotive retail / OEM sales and service use. A defensive asset class, these properties represent a strategic and fundamental part of automotive and OEM brand and distribution networks.

In 2024, the Canadian automotive retail industry generated sales of approximately $219 billion, representing approximately 27% of Canada’s overall retail sales of products and merchandise. The industry has a track record of strong sales and profit margins.

The REIT’s portfolio consists of 80 income-producing properties, located on more than 260 acres, representing approximately 3.0 million square feet of gross leasable area. The properties are generally located in urban centres along major transportation arteries with high visibility and convenient access, and meet or exceed the latest automotive and OEM standards.

The REIT is well-positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities, including (i) accretive acquisitions from third parties; (ii) accretive acquisitions from the Dilawri Group; and (iii) contractual annual rent increases. The fragmented nature of the automotive and OEM dealership and service industry in Canada and the United States is expected to provide the REIT with a significant pipeline of acquisition opportunities.

With combined revenues of approximately $5.1 billion in 2024, the REIT’s lead tenant, the Dilawri Group, is the largest automotive dealership group in Canada, representing virtually every major automotive brand. The interests of the REIT and Dilawri are strategically aligned through Dilawri’s 31.2% effective interest in the REIT.

The REIT’s portfolio has a weighted average lease term of approximately 8.5 years (as at June 30, 2025). The majority of the REIT’s leases are structured as triple-net leases under which the tenant is responsible for all costs relating to repair and maintenance, realty taxes, property insurance, utilities and non-structural capital improvements. Certain properties within the portfolio are net leases, which share many of the same characteristics as triple-net leases, but the REIT is responsible for certain structural improvements. All leases include fixed or CPI-linked rent escalators, providing for consistent revenue growth.

The REIT is currently paying monthly cash distributions of $0.0685 per Unit, representing $0.822 per Unit on an annualized basis.

The REIT’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Milton Lamb, has over 25 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry and Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Kalra, has over 20 years of experience in finance, including more than 14 years of experience in the automotive industry. The REIT’s Board, the majority of whom are independent, has extensive collective experience in the automotive and real estate industries, capital markets and corporate governance.
