Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Allied”), a leading owner, manager and developer of urban office environments operating in Canada’s major cities, recently completed a $155 million public equity offering of units.

On September 26, 2018, Allied completed an offering of 3,548,900 units (inclusive of 462,900 units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) at a price of $43.75 per unit for gross proceeds of $155,264,375.
