In addition, management and the Trustees of the REIT have well established relationships with property owners in various sectors, particularly in geographical markets in Ontario and Quebec. These relationships have allowed, and are expected to continue to allow, the REIT to identify and complete acquisitions, in certain instances, through off-market transactions with little or no competition which may be completed at a favorable valuation for Unitholders.
