Slate Office REIT is a pure-play office REIT. It is an open-ended real estate investment trust. Its asset portfolio consists of high quality downtown and suburban office properties with a diversified footprint, comprising of 39 properties (36 office properties and 3 non-office properties) spanning 7.5 million square feet.
Rather than focusing on larger cities, Slate Office focuses on downtown and suburban areas of Canada and the U.S. Unlike its peers, Slate Office’s focus on office properties also acts as a key differentiator. Occupancy and rents in these markets tend to be less volatile.
All these factors have resulted in a lower cost of acquisition and a stable income stream. The REIT sports an annual yield of 6.75% and a current AFFO payout ratio of 60.4%. Slate Office REIT has a potential acquisition pipeline in excess of $1 billion. Slate Office’s strategy is to own an institutional-quality portfolio of assets in major office markets at discounted valuations.
