Judge's report
Oxford Properties Group’s investment approach, diversified across capital structures, geography and investment structures, is paying off in the current period, with positive returns exceeding 8% in 2024.
Its focus on quality is delivering superior results in the office market, with the landmark 2017 EY Tower redevelopment still 100% leased, while displaying below-market vacancy rates in major Canadian office markets. It continues to surpass leasing expectations, securing more than 18 million square feet of space, including the largest downtown office leases in Calgary and Toronto and outperforming the global office market.
It has a demonstrated track record of innovation, continued in 2024 with launch of Oxford Innovative Science, the eco-conscious industrial James Snow BP project, and construction of the 30-storey towers in Vancouver entirely dedicated to rental housing.
