Automotive Properties Real Estate Investment Trust is a Canada-based unincorporated trust that specializes in the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial properties leased to automotive dealership operators. The Trust’s portfolio predominantly consists of sales and service facilities, parts warehouses, collision repair centres and ancillary automotive real estate. Each property is typically leased on a long-term, triple-net basis, providing stable rental revenue and alignment with tenant capital investments in facility improvements.
Since its formation, Automotive Properties REIT has pursued a disciplined growth strategy, acquiring properties that serve domestic and international automotive brands. Its business model centers on securing high-quality real estate in strategic locations, then structuring leases that transfer most operating and maintenance responsibilities to tenants. This approach helps reduce management overhead and supports predictable cash flow generation.
The Trust’s asset base is geographically diversified across key Canadian markets, including Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec. By spreading its holdings among a variety of franchise operators and dealership formats—from new-vehicle sales to after-market service centres—Automotive Properties REIT seeks to mitigate concentration risk and capture growth opportunities tied to regional automotive demand.
Governed by a board of trustees and overseen by a management team with experience in both commercial real estate and the automotive sector, Automotive Properties REIT maintains a focus on accretive acquisitions and disciplined portfolio management. The Trust’s units trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol APT.UN and on the OTC market in the United States under APPTF.
