2. 2 REIT Global Market Considerations  Global growth in REITs a recent phenomenon reflecting introduction of REIT legislation in a number of countries  Singapore, for example, has seen the introduction of approximately 18 listed REITs since 2002  Returns have generally been well above other investment classes  REITs in some jurisdictions face structural limitations relating to the quality of assets owned, the nature of the business (ownership versus development) and in many cases gearing restrictions  Importance of quality regulation to protect REIT industry  Investors around the globe have, in recent years, re-directed an enormous amount of capital to commercial real estate including publicly traded vehicles ⇒ The worldwide publicly traded marketplace has grown to more than $1,100 billion with Australia representing 8.1% of this amount compared to Canada’s 3.5%

5. 5 Australia a Major Player  Australian real estate investors are increasingly investing abroad as attractive local opportunities become increasingly difficult to find ⇒ In 2006, Australian investors acquired over $7 billion of foreign real estate assets ⇒ An significant percentage of LPT portfolios are invested abroad ⇒ There are several Australian LPTs invested solely in U.S. assets  Total market capitalization for S&P / ASX 300 Property Trust Index LPTs of approximately A$138 billion (~C$ 125 billion) as at June 2007 compared to Canada’s REIT sector market capitalization of approximately C$32 billion  The LPT sector represents approximately 9.9% of the total Australian stock market, one of the largest sectors on the ASX, compared to less than 2 % for the Canadian REIT sector  The disproportionately large size of the Australian LPT market demonstrates the potential for growth in the Canadian REIT market Source: CBRE Global Research, NBF Research
