"Dream Office REIT continues to deliver another stable quarter of operational and financial performance," said Michael Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of Dream Office REIT. "We have already completed the bulk of our planned capital improvements to create the Bay Street Collection and upgrade most of our buildings and tenants are taking occupancy in our boutique buildings including many leading restaurants across our downtown Toronto portfolio. At 74 Victoria Street we have renewed 64,000 square feet of the federal government’s space and are working on leases that should achieve our average portfolio occupancy in this building quite soon. We are continuing to work with our tenants in order to minimize leasing risks in our buildings so we can continue to improve occupancy."
