TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Granite Real Estate Investment Trust (“Granite”) (TSX: GRT.UN / NYSE: GRP.U) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Granite REIT Holdings Limited Partnership (“Granite LP”) has priced an offering on January 30, 2025 (the “Offering”) of C$300 million aggregate principal amount of Series 10 senior unsecured debentures that will bear interest at Daily Compounded CORRA plus 0.77% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and will mature on December 11, 2026 (the “Debentures”). The Debentures will be guaranteed by Granite and Granite REIT Inc. The Offering is expected to close on or about February 4, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.

The Debentures are being offered on an agency basis by a syndicate of agents co-led by Scotia Capital, TD Securities and Desjardins Securities. It is a condition of closing that Morningstar DBRS assign a credit rating of “BBB (high)” with a stable trend or higher relating to the Debentures.

The Offering is being made on a private placement basis in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Debentures will rank equally with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of Granite.

Granite LP intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay in full its C$300 million senior unsecured non-revolving term facility, maturing on December 11, 2026 (the “Term Loan”), immediately following the closing of the Offering, and, the balance of the net proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan is fully prepayable without penalty.

Through an existing cross currency interest rate swap, Granite LP has exchanged the Canadian dollar denominated principal and floating rate interest payments related to the Debentures for Euro denominated principal and fixed interest payments, resulting in an effective fixed interest rate of 0.27% for the term of the Debentures.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Debentures in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

• Although 70 per cent of survey respondents recognize the importance of reducing their carbon footprint, many are still opting for small-scale solutions.
• Turning off lights is the most common energy-saving method, but accounts for just 5 per cent of average energy bills. However, only 44 per cent of respondents adjusted their ambient temperature, representing over half of household energy use.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today released the third edition of its consumer survey in a white paper titled Evolving home energy consumption: Intentions, actions and hurdles to greater home energy efficiency. It surveyed 13,000 people from 11 countries across the world uncovering global attitudes toward household energy efficiency, sustainability and smart home technology.

Gap between awareness and action

Home energy consumption is the main driver of home emissions and has increased steadily over recent years with the spread of energy-consuming devices and appliances. This trend, coupled with skyrocketing energy costs and dramatic real-life impacts of climate change, has driven awareness of home energy consumption.

Given this, the report focuses on behaviors, barriers and readiness to adopt energy-saving solutions. Notably, this year’s results highlight a wide gap between awareness and action. 82 per cent of respondents consider energy efficiency “somewhat important” or “very important,” whilst 84 per cent said energy efficiency is the top desired home improvement, and 70 per cent responded that reducing their carbon footprint is ‘important’ to them.

However, only a few are taking the most impactful actions to reduce their energy consumption; just 44 per cent regularly adjust their ambient temperatures, despite this being one of the highest-impact actions. At the same time, 58 per cent of homeowners turn off lights as their primary strategy for saving energy, while lighting only comprising around 5 per cent of electricity bills. The second-most popular method, unplugging unused chargers (48 per cent), also has minimal impact — saving only $0.26 per charger annually.

Home energy technology

The report reveals another overemphasis on lighting when it comes to the types of home energy technology consumers have in their homes, with 52 per cent of consumers believing that smart lighting enhances energy efficiency. While 24 per cent own smart lighting, only 21 per cent have a smart thermostat, with less than half (46 per cent) acknowledging its energy-saving benefits, despite evidence showing it could reduce bills by up to 30 per cent annually.

For the first time, the survey explored attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI). Despite predictions that AI and automation could help mitigate up to 10 per cent of global GHG emissions, 44 per cent of respondents said they would never rely on AI for household tasks, 35 per cent don’t fully understand it, and 41 per cent want to actively avoid it. In addition, 52 per cent believe smart home technology is too expensive, even though connected homes can achieve energy savings of up to 22 per cent.

The survey also shows an awareness gap for more traditional home technology: 30 per cent of respondents don’t know what their electrical panel does, and 16 per cent don’t know its location. The electrical panel is at the heart of the home’s power system and acts as the gatekeeper for ensuring the safety of electrical devices and appliances, therefore this lack of knowledge poses potential serious safety risks if the condition of the panel is ignored as homes become more electrified.

“Consumers want to reduce their energy bill, increase their energy reliability and increase energy efficiency in their homes. Yet, there exists a gap between intention and action. The technology to enhance home energy efficiency exists today but there is a lack of awareness of the most impactful ways to deploy it,” said Michael Lotfy Gierges, Executive Vice President of Home & Distribution at Schneider Electric. “Through greater electrification and digitalization, home energy use can be better measured, controlled and transitioned to more renewable sources.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide a valuable perspective on our financial results. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation and are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP measures. In addition, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently which limits the ability of investors to compare non-GAAP measures of Tetra Tech to those used by our peer companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth above in this release.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM OFFICE REIT (D.UN-TSX) or (the “Trust” or “we”) announces the sale of its 438 University Avenue property in Toronto, Ontario, for gross proceeds before transaction costs of approximately $105.6 million or approximately $327 per square foot. As part of the transaction, the Trust secured the benefit of relocating approximately 17,000 sf of tenants from 438 University Avenue to other downtown Toronto buildings within the Trust’s portfolio which will increase net operating income in those buildings by over $1 million on an annual basis. In addition, the Trust also received a relocation right to move one of the last tenants at 250 Dundas St. W. so that the building is fully unencumbered and would reduce costs significantly in the development pro forma, therefore improving the profit and value of our purpose-built rental development site.

The Trust and the purchaser have also entered into a property management agreement at market terms for the Trust to continue to manage the property for the purchaser for a period of three years.

We believe the transaction is attractive to the Trust as we estimate that these combined incremental benefits represent a value of over $20 million or $62 per square foot to the Trust.

The Trust intends to use the proceeds to repay the approximately $68.8 million property mortgage outstanding and use the balance of the proceeds to pay down its corporate credit facility to reduce leverage and improve liquidity. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

Dream Office REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust. Dream Office REIT is a premier office landlord in downtown Toronto with over 3.5 million square feet owned and managed. We have carefully curated an investment portfolio of high-quality assets in irreplaceable locations in one of the finest office markets in the world.

Forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Dream Office REIT’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information.

January 2025 on track to be the fastest growth month in the company’s history

TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$REAX #therealbrokerage–The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), a technology platform reshaping real estate for agents, home buyers and sellers, today announced that it has reached the 25,000-agent mark. The milestone comes on the heels of nearly 1,000 agents joining Real each month in 2024, with January 2025 on track to be the fastest growth month in the company’s history.

“Our mission and our vision from Day 1 has been to make agents’ lives better. I’m thankful to our leadership team and the Real employees who wake in the morning and go to sleep at night with our agents in mind. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without each member of our collective community,” said Tamir Poleg, Real Founder, Chairman and CEO. “I am also grateful to the growing number of agents who have chosen to partner with us. Although 25,000 feels like a big number, we are just getting started, and their partnership and the trust they have placed in Real means everything.”

With a presence in all 50 states in the U.S. and four Canadian provinces, Real is dedicated to providing agents with advanced technology and unparalleled support. Real is unique among public brokerages for its proprietary software platform, reZEN, utilized by every agent to enable rapid scalability without adding significant costs.

Over the past year, Real leveraged this platform to introduce several agent-focused programs, including Private Label, ProTeams and Real Wallet. Designed for independent brokerages and large teams, the Private Label and ProTeams programs make it easier to join Real while allowing agents to maintain the brands that they’ve worked hard to build and existing compensation structures. Real Wallet, a fintech platform, centralizes an agent’s access to Company-branded financial products. Through Real Wallet, U.S. agents can open a business checking account, while agents in Canada have access to a line of credit based on their earnings history with the Company. Additional features, including tax planning business checking accounts and revenue share advances, are expected to launch for Real Wallet users in the U.S. later this quarter.

“25,000 strong and counting! Reaching this incredible milestone isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the community we’ve built together. Every agent, every story, every deal—it all adds up to something extraordinary. This isn’t just growth; it’s a movement,” said Sharran Srivatsaa, President of Real. Here’s to celebrating what we’ve accomplished and charging forward with passion and purpose. The future is Real!”

Since the start of the year, Real has onboarded a number of high profile teams, including:

• Harvest Realty, a high-producing independent brokerage serving Southern California with 550 agents and $2.4 billion in 2024 home sales.
• The Burgman Group, led by industry influencer Shane Burgman, has averaged 50 home sales a year throughout Florida’s Space Coast for the past decade.
• Austin-based Spyglass Realty, with 140 agents and a 2024 sales volume of nearly $400 million.
• Craft & Bauer Real Estate Co., a 60-agent firm with 865 homes sales totaling $512 million across California and Arizona.

The Real Brokerage is a real estate technology company and is not a bank. Banking services provided by Thread Bank, Member FDIC. The Real Wallet Visa debit card is issued by Thread Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. and may be used anywhere Visa cards are accepted.

About Real
