Stars
Dream Industrial REIT Expansion
As of late 2025, industrial real estate grew ~6.5% YoY driven by e-commerce and near-shoring; Dream Industrial REIT (DIR.UN) holds ~18% share in Canadian and 12% in European logistics markets and posts occupancy ~98%, above sector median ~95%.
The unit needs heavy capex—DIR.UN invested C$620m in 2024 and planned C$1.1bn for 2025–26 to buy logistics hubs—but its scale captures the lion’s share of expected market expansion.
Western Canada Land Development
Dream Unlimited owns over 50,000 acres across Western Canada, including major parcels near Edmonton and Saskatoon where municipal permits and zoning support roughly 40,000 future housing units; Edmonton CMA grew 5.1% and Saskatoon CMA 4.3% year-over-year to 2024, driving strong demand.
Dream Impact Trust Sustainable Housing
The impact investing segment has become a Star as institutional demand for ESG assets surged 48% globally in 2024, driving Dream Impact Trust Sustainable Housing to lead affordable, green residential developments and claim a first-mover edge in target markets.
Dream’s pipeline—35 projects worth $1.2bn and 8,700 units—requires heavy upfront capex for green certifications and smart-build tech, raising 2025 capex forecasts by ~22% vs. conventional builds.
These projects now form the portfolio’s future growth engine: management projects IRRs of 9–12% and double-digit NOI expansion by 2027 as policy incentives and institutional allocations to ESG real estate rise.
Zibi Waterfront Development
Zibi Waterfront Development is a multi-phase flagship project spanning Ottawa and Gatineau, showing high growth and market share as a Stars asset; by 2025 it comprises ~4.5 million sq ft planned, with phase completions driving rising NOI and premium rents 15–25% above local averages.
As one of North America’s most sustainable communities (targets: net-zero operations, 70% waste diversion), Zibi draws premium tenants and federal/provincial interest, including $50M+ in public infrastructure commitments to date.
Continued capital allocation is essential to finish phases; Dream should expect heavy capex through 2026–2028 before scale cash generation, with projected stabilized yields of 6–8% and long-term IRR >12% once mature.
- Planned GLA ~4.5M sq ft by 2030
- Premium rents +15–25% vs Ottawa/Gatineau
- Public commitments ~$50M+
- Target net-zero, 70% waste diversion
- Stabilized yield 6–8%, long-term IRR >12%
Renewable Energy Infrastructure
By 2025 Dream’s Renewable Energy Infrastructure is a Star: net-zero demand drove 35% CAGR in its markets, and Dream captured ~8% global market share via integrated solar and district energy systems, with 2025 revenue of $1.2bn; ongoing capex of $200–300m/yr for tech upgrades keeps growth and margins strong.
- 2025 revenue $1.2bn
- ~8% market share
- 35% CAGR in target markets
- Capex $200–300m/yr

Retail Strip Centers
Dream’s grocery-anchored retail strip centers show 96% occupancy as of Q4 2025 and average lease terms of 8.2 years, yielding stable NOI margins near 68% and requiring minimal capex given entrenched market positions.

- 8.2-year average lease
- 68% NOI margin

Legacy Land Holdings

Sale proceeds cover corporate debt servicing—Dream repaid $120M in 2024 interest and principal—and fund tech investments, including a $25M proptech program launched Q1 2025.

- 2025 sales: $210M; 38% of asset disposals
