Struggling a little with debt. Solid managers. Industrial REITs are doing gangbusters. Are fully occupied and lease rates are rising. As they have been selling non-core assets, the market has pressured shares. Doesn't think they will cut the dividend. Is moving in the right direction. Lower rates will help.

Industrial REIT's have performed well with eCommerce growth (storage). Major beneficiary of lower inflation rates going forward. Would expect share price to increase going forward with higher dividends. 

Stalled on acquisitions. Small cap, over-levered, failed to execute. He got out and moved on.

80% industrial, hoping to get to 90% by end of this year. Still owns some office and retail. Needs to sell assets to lower net debt, and then buy better-quality industrial assets. An execution and show-me story. Above-average debt profile, with an above-average dividend yield of 8.8%. Management's done well. Interest rates are a headwind.

Small cap, so be careful of volatility. Was diversified real estate, but now turning into pure-play industrial. Loves the industrial theme. Low cost, low capital intensity. Big headway in the London ON market, a real hotbed of activity for transportation and distribution. Yield is 7.71%.

It is a very good company with 85% of its business in the warehouse space. It is looking to get out of the office space part and extend the industrial component. Has facilities in B.C. too. It is actively issuing shares to become larger. Consider it a safe hold with a good distribution yield and growing rents.
