Mississauga-based Morguard REIT, which owns 49 retail, office and industrial income-producing properties across the country, says its net operating income from the same assets – which excludes fluctuations from acquisitions and sales – was $43 million, up $500,000 or 1.16 per cent over a year earlier.
Funds from operations, a form of adjusted net income widely used in the real estate industry, was $29.3 million in the quarter, down from $30.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
