Listed trust-unit exposure to logistics, warehouse and industrial property
Granite Real Estate Investment Trust is a Canadian listed REIT investing in logistics, warehouse and industrial property in North America and Europe. Its investable proposition is ownership of trust units representing a real-estate portfolio and associated distributions, rather than a personalised wealth-advisory account or a mandate to manage a family's separately owned properties.
Granite acquires, develops, owns and manages industrial properties, with income generated through tenant leases. Its 4 November 2026 announcement describes 149 investment properties and approximately 62.4 million square feet of leasable area. Those are dated portfolio measures, not third-party assets under management or the value of an investor's account.
The trust structure matters. Granite's explanation of its completed 1 October 2024 arrangement says it replaced the former stapled unit structure with conventional REIT trust units, with Granite REIT owning all Granite GP shares immediately afterwards. This is an actual pooled trust-unit investment structure, not an inference that any publicly traded property company is a fund manager.
The current unit-information page identifies TSX ticker GRT.UN and OTCQX ticker GRTUF. Its quotes are delayed by twenty minutes and can be from different trading dates; they should not be treated as live execution prices. The historical 2024 arrangement page also mentions a former NYSE quote, which is not used here as evidence of a current NYSE listing.
The 4 November 2026 results report in-place occupancy of 96.7% at 30 September 2026 and committed occupancy of 97.0% at 4 November. The same September reporting table lists 140 income-producing properties and 61.9 million square feet. Those period-end and income-producing measures differ from the later total investment-property count; the homepage's older 145-property text should not be combined with them as one current metric.
The results also report Magna at 26% of annualised revenue and 19% of gross leasable area, useful concentration measures when assessing tenant exposure. Leasing, vacancy, development execution, financing and currency movements can affect results. FFO and AFFO presented in the release are non-GAAP measures with company-defined reconciliations, not guaranteed investor returns.
On 4 November, Granite announced a 4.23% increase in its targeted annualised distribution, effective for the December 2026 distribution and expected to be payable in mid-January 2027. It separately announced a three-for-one unit split: record date 18 November, payment date 23 November and split-adjusted trading expected from 24 November 2026. These are announced future events at the review date. The split changes unit counts and requires distribution-policy adjustment; it does not multiply a holder's economic interest or investment value.
The current leadership list identifies Kevan Gorrie as President and CEO, Teresa Neto as CFO, and Michael A. Ramparas as Executive Vice President, Global Real Estate and Head of Investments. Kelly Marshall is Chairman. Their functions separate executive portfolio and financial management from board oversight. A management-page count is not presented as the trust's total workforce.
Granite publishes offices in Toronto, Dallas, Amsterdam and Vienna. The Toronto office is at Toronto-Dominion Centre, 77 King Street West, Suite 4010, P.O. Box 159, Toronto, Ontario M5K 1H1. The website also identifies Odyssey Trust Company as transfer agent and Deloitte LLP as auditor; those are separate service-provider roles, not Granite subsidiaries or a substitute for reading the actual audit and trust documents.
The trust may be relevant to allocators considering listed industrial-property exposure and distribution income. Investors acquire the security through an appropriate intermediary or other legally available route, rather than by assuming that a public contact form opens a discretionary portfolio-management account. Actual dealing availability depends on the investor, jurisdiction and intermediary.
No current security price is fixed here. Brokerage commissions, spreads, currency conversion and investor-specific tax treatment require the applicable execution and tax information; no uniform onboarding fee or family-office retainer was established. Nor was a numerical fund expense ratio or separate external management-fee schedule established from the reviewed pages. Public trading can provide a different access route from a private-property fund, while still carrying market-price and portfolio risks.
Investor and governance enquiries are directed to Andrea Sanelli, Senior Director, Legal and Investor Services, at ir@granitereit.com and +1 (647) 925-7504. The Toronto office telephone is +1 (647) 925-7500. Lorne Kumer is separately named for North American and European real-estate enquiries at +1 (647) 925-7509; this should not be confused with the transfer agent's unitholder-record service.
Odyssey's published contact is +1 (888) 290-1175 at Trader's Bank Building, 1100–67 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1J8. For the announced split, Granite says beneficial holders' intermediary accounts should update under brokerage procedures, while Odyssey handles registered-holder statements. That is a source-dated corporate-action process, not a guarantee about every account or tax result. No general complaint-resolution SLA was established.
