Allied Properties
Allied Properties is an unincorporated, closed-end trust that plays a leading role in urban development throughout Canada. They have a presence in nine cities across the nation where they act as owners, managers and developers with the focus of providing stable growth to their unit-holders. They do this by prioritizing strong management and steadily increasing portfolio growth.
They are led by their president and CEO Michael R. Emory, who also sits on the board of trustees. Emory has been working in real estate since 1988 and was also a partner at the law firm Aird & Berlis LLP which focused on corporate and real estate finance.
He has played an influential role in real estate and development in Toronto for over 25 years and he continues to provide meaningful insight into the continuously-evolving industry. His main targets are the development of Class I office spaces. These are restored and retrofitted industrial structures that provide stylish accommodations to office and retail tenants. Value is placed onto sites that are close to central business districts with accessible public transportation, in a motivating environment that can retain tenants and employees and offer lower occupancy costs than typical central business districts.
These reappropriated spaces are impressive and adaptable. Their industrial aesthetic features appealing exposed brick, high ceilings and abundant natural light. These fashionable buildings can be the ideal setting for office or retail units, and they're comparatively low cost, will retain tenants for extended periods of time. Although a classic aesthetic is employed on the majority of these buildings, it’s understood that clients are looking for modern access to technology.
There’s no need to worry about that, as Allied has acquired a leading communications connecting point at 151 Front Street West in Toronto. This will ensure that all clients and tenants will have optimal internet access to help run their business as best as they can. As we march toward the future, it’s comforting to have a touchstone to the past. The Class I repurposed industrial spaces help us keep in touch with our history, as well as provide us with unique environments to continue innovating. These spaces also help retain a charming character in cities across Canada as landscapes are being adapted and improved upon rather than completely replaced. Bundled together with the cost effective format and leading internet access, these are amazing locations that are dedicated to keeping our heritage intact.
