What Dream Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust does

Owns and leases industrial and logistics properties across Canada and Europe.

Earns rent under multi-year leases to logistics and manufacturing tenants, with built-in rent increases and a reset toward market rents when leases renew, so income grows as it buys or builds space and as rents rise. It is managed by an affiliate of Dream Unlimited rather than having its own staff.
