Skyline Apartment REIT increases unit value to $29.50

[Guelph, Ontario – November 19, 2024]

Skyline Apartment REIT (“the REIT”), a $5+ billion Canadian real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in multi-residential real estate, has announced its second unit value increase in 2024.¹

Effective November 19, 2024, the REIT’s Board of Trustees approved a $1.00 unit value increase for the REIT’s Class A and Class F units from $28.50 to $29.50.

The Class A annual distribution rate remains unchanged at $1.11 per unit. The new Class A annual yield is 3.76%.²

“The REIT’s second unit value increase in 2024 is a result of its continued strong performance through Q3,” said Matthew Organ, President, Skyline Apartment REIT.

“CMHC’s Housing Market Outlook report anticipates that rental housing demand in Canada will continue to rise into 2025 and 2026 due to strong population growth and the continued shortage of affordable housing for sale. With more than 1000 new build apartment suites currently in our acquisitions and development pipeline, the Apartment REIT is well positioned to deliver strong value to our investors by enhancing the portfolio. The REIT’s mark-to-market rent gap remains strong at $360 per suite per month, which contributes to strong income and unit value growth for investors.”

Launched in 2006, the REIT’s portfolio now comprises nearly 22,000 apartment suites across 240 properties in 57 secondary and tertiary markets in seven Canadian provinces.³

Skyline Apartment REIT reports its annualized returns quarterly.⁴ As of September 30, 2024, its Class A annualized returns are as follows:

• 1-year: 6.83%
• 3-year: 8.01%
• 5-year: 15.29%
• 10-year: 14.20%
• Since inception (2006): 13.74%

Skyline Apartment REIT’s Class A units are available through Skyline Wealth Management, a Canadian investment firm based in Guelph, Ontario and the preferred exempt market dealer for the REIT.

The REIT’s Class F units are available for purchase through Fundserv (code: SKY2006).

The REIT’s growth was recognized earlier in 2024 with a #5 ranking on RHB The Annual’s list of Top 10 REITs, as well as top 10 placement in RHB’s The Annual regional editions for Kitchener-Waterloo and London, Ontario.

¹ Unit value is determined by a Net Asset Value (NAV) model based on evaluations by senior management and the Skyline Apartment REIT Board of Trustees. As at September 30, 2024.
