• A rundown of PIRET and their organizational culture.
• The most important aspects of a deal to PIRET.
• Why PIRET has not yet sold any assets.
• Transactions that the company has been involved with during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Industrial being the preferred asset class during the pandemic.
• New entrants to the industrial market.
• The lagging rent prices previously seen in Toronto.
