June 15, 2022 - Leasing status update for The Well - Office area 98% Leased:
ALLIED AND RIOCAN ANNOUNCE 98% LEASE-UP OF OFFICE SPACE AT THE WELL Toronto, June 15, 2022
Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Allied”)(TSX:AP.UN) and RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (“RioCan”)(TSX:REI.UN) today announced that the office component of The Well is now 98% leased to 15 knowledge-based organizations. A leading technology organization has agreed to lease 89,964 square feet of GLA for a term of 12 years commencing November 1, 2023, leaving 29,886 square feet of GLA comprising a single floor to be leased. The organization selected The Well with a view to attracting, motivating and retaining the talent necessary to propel its successful and growing technology business.
“This is an important milestone in completing the premiere mixed-use urban development in Toronto,” said Michael Emory, Allied’s President and CEO. “The Well has become a large-scale success for all concerned, one that’s reshaping Toronto’s Downtown Core and propelling the King & Spadina neighbourhood to even greater ascendency.”
Allied and RioCan also announced that the retail component of The Well is now 66% leased to 41 retail users. As construction nears completion, the retail leasing effort is accelerating in a manner fully consistent with the urban merchandising plan envisaged by Allied and RioCan. The retail component of The Well is scheduled for grand opening in mid-2023.
Each of Allied and RioCan owns an undivided 50% interest in the commercial component of The Well. The commercial component is comprised of the following:
(i) 1,168,000 square feet of office GLA;
(ii) 320,000 square feet of retail GLA;
(iii) 677 underground commercial parking spaces;
(iv) significant third-party digital signage on the northwest corner of Front & Spadina; and
(v) the energy-storage facility necessary to extend Enwave’s heating and cooling network to Toronto’s Downtown West.
The office component of The Well is registered under the LEED® green building rating system and is targeting a LEED® Platinum certification. It will include best-in-class operational, environmental, life-safety and health and wellness systems.

Gotta love corporate solidarity-speak, especially when you're down like $10 bucks in the last 6mo alone...
Good that it's almost all leased though.

Thanks for pointing that out; LOL
Allied is not currently in my portfolio, but I'm going to take a closer look at that, a P/E of 8 is just excellent if all other things are equal. Just need to a take a closer look at their books.

Great time to go spend $794m on a bunch of random Class B too...

I confess, I thought it was an odd fit for them. I need to hear more on the strategy behind that.

They are actually doing just fine and a lot better than others. You can see that 20% decline is from April 2022. The whole market whether stocks or crypto has been going down by 15-25% since. Lets hope it doesnt result in a recession.

Are there any plans for a Clarence Square / Victoria Square revitalization in the works? Surely there's enough S37 funds kicking around...

Toronto is building a lot of condos but not enough greenery. We need more green space and trees Toronto. Come on.

Agreed, although the drone photos must be from prior to the leaves coming out on the trees in those shots.

Just had money dropped on it in the last few years; not aware of more coming.
* just checked, nothing in the capital budget for this park *
Yes, there will be money for something here.
*** putting aside any rumours of something bigger ***
There's 1.1M earmarked for next year (2023) for this park.
