Morguard provides transaction update: agreement to acquire $1.1 billion interest in TD Asset Management multi-suite residential portfolio now firm. Nov 02, 2026, 17:15 ET MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 2, 2026 /CNW/ - Morguard Corporation ("Morguard") (TSX: MRC) and Morguard North American Residential REIT ("Morguard Residential REIT") (TSX: MRG.UN) provided an update on their joint investment in a Canadian multi-suite residential real estate portfolio currently owned by TD Asset Management Inc. ("TDAM"), previously announced on February 25, 2026. Morguard has completed its due diligence review, the related purchaser conditions have been waived, and the allocation of individual property ownership interests between Morguard and Morguard Residential REIT has been finalized. The transaction represents an approximate 26 percent undivided interest in a portfolio of 91 properties comprising 12,302 suites at a gross purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion, before closing costs, and is expected to close in a single tranche, subject to receiving CMHC and lender approval. Morguard will acquire interests in 31 properties with 4,728 suites at a gross purchase price of $621 million, and Morguard Residential REIT will acquire interests in 60 properties with 7,574 suites at a gross purchase price of $478 million. The portfolio is located in major urban and suburban markets across Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia with established rental demand. It also includes a select number of newly delivered rental developments. "Reaching this milestone reflects the hard work, discipline and collaboration of everyone involved in bringing this transaction to a firm agreement," said Angela Sahi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Morguard. "This acquisition aligns with our strategy of expanding our multi-suite residential portfolio in markets with high barriers to entry, strong underlying rental demand and attractive long-term growth potential." The following table details the regional distribution and ownership interest of the properties: | City/Region | Number of Properties | Ownership Interest | Total Suites | Ownership Suites | | Calgary | 3 | 20 % | 568 | 113 | | Edmonton | 4 | 20 % | 838 | 168 | | Alberta | 7 | 20 % | 1,406 | 281 | | Windsor | 9 | 20 % | 478 | 96 | | London | 9 | 20 % | 792 | 158 | | Kitchener | 5 | 20 % | 764 | 153 | | Waterloo | 4 | 20 % | 781 | 156 | | Hamilton | 5 | 20 % | 689 | 138 | | Burlington | 1 | 20 % | 185 | 37 | | Oakville | 2 | 50 % | 131 | 66 | | Brampton | 2 | 20 % | 390 | 78 | | Mississauga | 5 | 20 % | 623 | 124 | | Toronto | 18 | 26 % | 2,710 | 698 | | Ottawa | 2 | 20 % | 229 | 46 | | Ontario | 62 | 23 % | 7,772 | 1,750 | | Montréal | 13 | 20 % | 1,922 | 384 | | Québec | 13 | 20 % | 1,922 | 384 | | Halifax | 9 | 50 % | 1,202 | 601 | | Nova Scotia | 9 | 50 % | 1,202 | 601 | | Total | 91 | 25 % | 12,302 | 3,016 | The transaction is anticipated to be financed through a combination of cash on hand, assumed mortgages, approximately $225 million of vendor financing, and short-term borrowings. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to both Morguard and Morguard Residential REIT. The assumed mortgages are CMHC-insured and have an approximate loan-to-value ratio of 46%. As at September 30, 2026, the Company paid a $20 million non-refundable deposit in connection with the transaction. Throughout the second and third quarters of 2026, Morguard transitioned property management responsibility for the TDAM multi-suite residential portfolio, valued at approximately $5.4 billion, consisting of 109 properties and approximately 15,800 suites across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, Southwestern Ontario, Ottawa, Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia. The transition required extensive coordination across property operations, technology, accounting, human resources and resident services, demonstrating Morguard's ability to execute complex, large-scale institutional mandates while maintaining operational continuity and a consistent resident experience. Following the transition, Morguard's total owned and managed assets have grown to approximately $24.1 billion. Its residential platform now represents approximately $12.3 billion in assets, encompassing 164 properties and 33,213 residential suites across Canada and the United States. The addition of the TDAM management portfolio represents a transformative expansion of Morguard's residential platform and further strengthens its position as a leading residential property and asset manager in North America.

Morguard completes sale of 131 Queen Street in Ottawa. Oct 28, 2026, 12:15 ET MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 28, 2026 /CNW/ - Morguard Corporation ("Morguard") (TSX: MRC) announced today that it completed the sale of its leasehold interest in 131 Queen Street in Ottawa to Public Services and Procurement Canada ("PSPC"). The transaction resulted in gross proceeds of $148.2 million. Morguard co-developed 131 Queen Street in 2006 with a development partner, and the building was pre-leased to the federal government. Located in downtown Ottawa near Parliament Hill and light rail transit, the Class A property has a total gross leasable area of 328,500 square feet. It includes office and retail space, 36 furnished residential apartments, and a three-level underground garage. The transaction followed PSPC's exercise of its contractual option to acquire Morguard's leasehold interest at fair market value under the existing lease agreement. The sale price represents a 34% premium to Morguard's previously reported IFRS fair value, prior to the adjustment to reflect the fair market value determined in accordance with the valuation provisions of the lease agreement. Following repayment of $29.6 million of property-related debt and closing costs, the transaction generated net cash proceeds of approximately $118.2 million. The proceeds will be used to partially fund Morguard's investment in the multi-suite residential portfolio acquisition announced earlier this year. Morguard maintains a significant presence in Ottawa, managing a diversified portfolio of office, retail, multi-suite residential and hotel properties, including 2,463 residential suites and 346 hotel rooms. The portfolio has a total gross leasable area of 4.1 million square feet, of which approximately 2.8 million square feet is office space.

Why Morguard North American Residential REIT (TSX:MRG.UN) saw FFO decline across both Canada and the US. 28 September 2026 10:48 AM EDT Summarize with AI You are reading a free article with opinions that may differ from the recommendation given by Kalkine in its paid research reports. Become a Kalkine member today to get access to our research reports, in-depth technical and fundamental research. Learn more A cross-border apartment REIT. Morguard North American Residential REIT (TSX:MRG.UN) reported basic funds from operations of $0.42 per unit for the second quarter of 2026, down 10.6 per cent from $0.47 a year earlier, as net Operating Income fell 4.7 per cent to $54.2 million and occupancy softened in both of its core markets. The decline answers the headline directly: this was a broad-based softening across the trust's Canadian and US portfolios rather than an issue confined to one country. The REIT owns and operates multi-family residential apartment properties in Canada, primarily in Ontario, and in the southeastern and southwestern United States, giving it direct exposure to rental market conditions in both countries simultaneously. Where the pressure showed up. Canadian occupancy fell to 91.4 per cent from 95.2 per cent a year earlier, while US occupancy declined to 92.8 per cent from 94.8 per cent. Proportionate net operating income fell 4.9 per cent, with Canadian operations down $1.1 million (6.6 per cent) and US operations down US$0.9 million (3.9 per cent), with unfavourable foreign exchange movements further reducing proportionate NOI by $0.4 million when translated back to Canadian dollars. Net Income fell 13.0 per cent to $26.1 million. What the simultaneous declines suggest. A decline occurring in both the Canadian and US portfolios at the same time is a somewhat different signal than a single-market issue: it points towards either broader Supply growth pressuring rents and occupancy in the specific sub-markets Morguard operates in, or a company-specific Factor affecting leasing execution across the portfolio, rather than a problem isolated to one country's economic conditions. The REIT's own disclosure did not provide a detailed explanation for the occupancy declines. Risks and milestones. Continued occupancy softening in either market would further pressure NOI and FFO, and the currency translation drag on US-dollar NOI adds a layer of foreign exchange risk on top of underlying operating performance. Investors should watch subsequent quarters for whether occupancy stabilises in both markets and for any further management commentary explaining the specific drivers behind this quarter's declines. Security structure. Morguard North American Residential REIT trades as trust units on the Toronto Stock Exchange, distributing income to unitholders under REIT tax rules, and is managed by an affiliate of Morguard Corporation, which also holds a significant ownership stake in the trust. Broader context. Because Morguard North American Residential REIT holds properties in both Canadian and US dollar-denominated markets, unitholders bear a layer of currency risk on top of local operating performance in each country, meaning a stable or even improving local-currency result can still translate into a weaker reported Canadian-dollar figure purely because of Exchange Rate movements, as seen in this quarter's proportionate NOI figures.
