Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust Outlines Strategic Framework and Presents “Delivering Today. Building for the Future.” at its Investor Day

Today, at its 2023 Investor Day, Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust ("Choice Properties" or the "Trust") (TSX: CHP.UN) will present “Delivering Today. Building for the Future.” and provide an overview of its strategic direction and current operations. The event will consist of a series of presentations from, and panel discussions with, Choice Properties’ senior leadership team. Leaders from the Trust’s largest tenant, Loblaw Companies Limited (“Loblaw”), and majority unitholder, George Weston Limited, will also be in attendance to provide insight into their collaborative, working relationships with the Trust. A detailed agenda can be found on Choice Properties’ website at www.choicereit.ca/events-webcasts.

“We are excited for the opportunity to show our unitholders how Choice Properties is delivering results today and building for the future,” said Rael Diamond, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust. “Over the last five years we have proven the effectiveness of our strategy and, looking ahead, our business is well positioned to execute on our strategic framework to deliver stable and growing unitholder returns.”

Choice Properties will continue to execute on its strategic framework by:

1. Maintaining a market leading portfolio by maximizing value in its core asset classes of essential retail, flexible industrial, and transit-oriented mixed-use and residential; and improving portfolio quality through balanced capital recycling.
2. Sustaining operational excellence by delivering best-in-class property operations through property management and pro-active leasing.
3. Delivering its development pipeline by executing on near-term industrial opportunities to create one of the largest and highest-quality industrial portfolios in Canada, and by advancing its mixed-use and residential platform through planning and execution.

These strategic priorities are underpinned by the Trust’s unmatched foundation including the strategic relationship it has with Loblaw, an industry leading balance sheet, a commitment to embedding environmental and social sustainability practices across its organization, and a diverse and talented team.
