FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS 2017 has proven to be another successful year for Morguard Corporation, and I am very pleased to share our strong financial performance in this year’s annual report with you, our fellow shareholders. In 2017, we undertook aggressive leasing activities, upgrades to our property portfolio, a variety of development and acquisition programs, and strengthened our capital base. Thinking back on the past year, I believe the reason for our success is threefold – a powerful combination of our: 1. diversified real estate portfolio of high-quality assets; 2. superior investment management and development expertise, aimed at creating value in the portfolio; and 3. ongoing approach to further expand the portfolio through acquisitions across North America. At the same time, we were able to take advantage of the healthy North American economy. There was considerable demand for prime office space and high-quality residential rental accommodation. Interest rates, even though they moved slightly upwards, remained near historically low levels. Alberta showed some signs of recovery although we continue to monitor this market. As a result, Morguard continued to demonstrate solid earnings performance in 2017, and equally solid gains in net asset value. Our successful initiatives will lead us into 2018 with a strong position to take advantage of more real estate opportunities as they arise. Our prime objective in the year ahead – as always – is to grow shareholder value. I’m particularly proud of Morguard’s strong management team and our dedicated employees, and I deeply appreciate the support and counsel of our extraordinarily accomplished Directors. I extend my sincere thanks to each of them, and to each of you, our loyal shareholders. Given the Company’s achievements to date, Morguard Corporation can look to the future with confidence knowing that we’re stronger together. Sincerely, K.
