The manager of First REIT has announced a new growth strategy following the completion of its corporate restructuring.
Dubbed the First REIT 2.0 Growth Strategy, the new roadmap is structured around four strategic pillars - to diversify into developed markets; to strengthen capital structure through diversification of funding sources; to reshape the portfolio for capital efficient growth by recycling non-core assets; and to pivot to ride megatrends.
