In response to the deterioration in lease rates for heritage office buildings, proactive measures were taken in recent years to adapt to the evolving market realities. On February 21, 2024, we completed the sale of our remaining heritage office building. The proceeds from this sale, together with the funds previously received from the earlier sale of three other buildings, are expected to be reinvested in institutionally occupied buildings and forest properties.
In April 2024, we completed the purchase of a 50% equity interest in 25 Dockside Drive, Toronto, ON in partnership with George Brown College. Situated adjacent to the College’s two other premier waterfront buildings, this acquisition effectively doubled the size of its waterfront campus.
The fully diluted book value of Halmont’s common shares, assuming the conversion of its capital notes and convertible preferred shares, increased to 82￠ per common share compared to 72￠ in March 2023.
Halmont Properties Corporation invests directly in real assets including commercial, forest, and residential properties.
