Granite Real Estate Investment Trust
Granite Real Estate Investment Trust owns and manages industrial properties, mainly warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing buildings. Its tenants use these sites to store goods, assemble products, and move inventory through supply chains. The trust earns most of its income from rent paid by these tenants, along with property-related charges tied to the buildings it owns. Its main customers are companies that need functional industrial space, such as manufacturers, retailers, e-commerce businesses, and logistics operators. Granite’s job is to provide real estate that is practical for operations rather than flashy or consumer-facing. That makes it a landlord at an important point in the supply chain: it collects steady lease income from businesses that depend on efficient space. What sets Granite apart is the type of property it owns. Industrial real estate is driven by the need for storage, distribution, and production space, so the buildings tend to be useful for long periods and difficult to replace quickly. Granite focuses on owning these essential assets and leasing them to tenants who need reliable locations for their day-to-day operations.

Results in line: Granite said Q1 2026 came in line with management’s annual forecast, helped by strong same-property NOI growth and leasing spreads, with foreign exchange partially offsetting the upside.
Leasing strength: The company renewed 730,000 square feet at a 48% weighted average increase and said committed occupancy is now slightly under 98%.
Guidance unchanged: Full-year outlook was left intact, including FFO per unit of $6.25 to $6.40 and AFFO per unit of $5.40 to $5.55.
Balance sheet: Leverage improved to 33% net leverage and 6.8x debt-to-EBITDA, supporting a positive rating trend from Morningstar DBRS.
Capital recycling: Granite continues to sell lower-growth assets and redeploy capital, while also using its ATM program selectively and pursuing about $125 million of acquisitions.
Mixed near-term items: Management flagged a second-quarter HST audit provision and lease termination income that together should reduce FFO and AFFO per unit by about $0.02.
