H&R Real Estate Investment Trust is a Canadian real estate investment trust that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial properties. The trust’s holdings encompass office buildings, industrial facilities, retail shopping centres and mixed-use developments, providing tenants with space solutions across a broad range of industries. H&R’s investment strategy focuses on long-term, income-producing assets in established markets.
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, H&R REIT has grown through strategic property acquisitions, development projects and joint-venture partnerships. The trust is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “HR.UN” and its American depositary receipts trade on the OTC Markets under the symbol “HRUFF.” Over its history, H&R has pursued value-add opportunities, including office-to-residential conversions and redevelopment of under-utilized sites.
H&R’s portfolio is primarily concentrated in major Canadian markets such as Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver, with a smaller allocation of properties in key U.S. markets like Florida. The trust supplements its in-house asset management capabilities with third-party leasing and property management teams to optimize occupancy levels and drive rental growth. Its tenant base ranges from financial institutions and professional services firms to industrial users and national retailers.
H&R REIT is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Donald Weinberger, who brings decades of real estate and capital markets experience to the trust. Under his leadership, the organization emphasizes disciplined capital allocation, active portfolio management and sustainability initiatives. Governance is overseen by an independent board of trustees that guides the trust’s growth strategy and risk management framework.
