(1)  This metric excludes the assets held for sale based on the assets held for sale classification at the end of each period.
(2)  This measure is presented on an IFRS basis.
(3)  This is a non-GAAP measure, refer to page 16. These non-GAAP measures include the results of the continuing operations and the discontinued 

operations.

(4)  This is a non-GAAP measure, refer to page 16. These non-GAAP measures include only the results of the continuing operations.
(5)  Prior to Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust, net asset value per unit (“NAV per unit”) was calculated as total equity as at the 

corresponding period ended, divided by the actual number of Units and class B limited partnership units of Allied Properties Exchangeable 
Limited Partnership (“Exchangeable LP Units”) outstanding at period end. With Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, 
NAV per unit is calculated as total equity plus the value of Exchangeable LP Units as at the corresponding period ended, divided by the actual 
number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units. The rationale for including the value of Exchangeable LP Units is because they are economically 
equivalent to Units, receive distributions equal to the distributions paid on the Units and are exchangeable, at the holder’s option, for Units.

(6)  This metric includes only the results of the continuing operations.
(7)  The payout ratios for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, exclude the special cash distributions declared of $61,419 on Units 

and $5,668 on Exchangeable LP Units, and the special Unit distribution declared of $639,780.

(8)  The Same Asset NOI for the year ended December 31, 2021, is not applicable as the composition of properties is different from the 2022 and 

2023 years.

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTBUSINESS OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

Allied is a leading owner-operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major cities .

DISTINCTIVE URBAN WORKSPACE

Allied was known initially for its leading role in the emergence of Class I workspace in Toronto, a format 

created through the adaptive re-use of light industrial structures in the Downtown East and Downtown West 

submarkets . This format typically features high ceilings, abundant natural light, exposed structural frames, 

interior brick and hardwood floors . When restored and retrofitted to high standards, Class I workspace 

can satisfy the needs of the most demanding office and retail users . When operated in a coordinated 

manner, this workspace becomes a vital part of the urban fabric and contributes meaningfully to a sense 

of community . 

Allied went public in 2003 for the express purpose of consolidating Class I workspace that was centrally 

located, distinctive and cost-effective . The consolidation that ensued was continuous, enabling Allied to 

evolve into a leading owner-operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major cities . 

WORKSPACE INNOVATION 

Allied’s long and extensive experience continues to inform its approach to workspace innovation . Office 

users today value light, air and an open-plan . Abundant natural light and fresh air contribute enormously 

to human wellness and productivity . An open-plan improves collaboration and creativity . When people 

can move around and freely connect with one another, communication is improved, along with mutual 

understanding, and sparks of ingenuity occur . 

Technology has contributed to workspace innovation . Light harvesting has made great strides, as has 

fresh air delivery . Raised-floor systems have made aesthetic and practical contributions in recent years . 

Aesthetically, they declutter the workspace and obviate the need for drop-ceilings . Practically, they improve 

air circulation by pressurizing the underfloor area and de-pressurizing the actual work environment . All this 

can be delivered to workspace users in an environmentally sustainable manner . 

Workspace amenities have made an equivalent contribution to workspace innovation . While achievable 

to an extent within a single building, amenity-richness is best achieved within a surrounding urban 

neighbourhood . This in turn places a premium on clustering buildings within an amenity-rich urban 

neighbourhood . Clustering also allows Allied to accommodate needs for expansion and contraction within 

the neighbourhood . 

Allied’s experience with Class I workspace also increased its sensitivity to design . When people migrated to 

the suburbs in the 1950s, the sensitivity to design in the inner-cities seemed to diminish, if not disappear 

altogether . Heritage properties were destroyed to make way for non-descript, inward-looking buildings, and 

synthetic materials seemed to cover everything everywhere . Fortunately, design now matters, and design 

now pays . The workspace Allied created at QRC West in Toronto is an excellent example . Allied’s architects 

came up with a creative and beautiful way to build a new office tower above two fully-restored heritage 

buildings . Although the design entailed additional cost, the ultimate economic and social return on the 

investment was exceptional . The design paid off in every conceivable way . 

12

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTFinally, Allied’s experience with Class I workspace put it at the forefront of creating workspace for the 

knowledge-based economy . This led Allied to place ever-greater emphasis on the ongoing relationship 

between the user and provider of workspace . Put differently, it led Allied to understand the need for a 

partnership-like relationship between itself and workspace users .

FOCUS AND DEFINITION 

From the outset, Allied adhered to a clear investment and operating focus . It focused initially on the Class I 

format and continues to do so on a large scale in major urban centres in Canada . More recently, Allied 

expanded its focus to include hybrid structures like QRC West and King Portland Centre in Toronto and 

425 Viger in Montréal, where heritage buildings were integrated with new structures in a way that resonated 

meaningfully with the knowledge-based organizations Allied serves . Allied will continue to do so on a large 

scale in major urban centres in Canada . 

As Allied’s business grew and evolved, it was defined not by the specific workspace format Allied owns, 

operates and develops, but rather by the workspace users Allied serves . If a particular format enables 

Allied to serve knowledge-based organizations better and more profitably, Allied will invest in it . The Well 

in Toronto is a good example . The workspace component is a high-rise tower for the most part with no 

heritage element at all . However, because of its architecture, performance attributes and location within a 

vibrant and amenity-rich neighbourhood, it has attracted outstanding knowledge-based organizations . 

When Allied’s business is defined by the workspace users it serves, the actual format becomes less 

important and the specific building attributes and neighbourhood amenities take on paramount importance . 

Accordingly, if a conventional office tower can be transformed to provide the specific attributes and 

amenities favoured by knowledge-based organizations, it falls squarely within Allied’s investment and 

operating focus . This expands Allied’s opportunity-set materially . 

VISION AND MISSION 

Allied’s vision statement is as follows: To make a continuous contribution to cities and culture that elevates 

and inspires the humanity in all people . In isolation, this could be seen as somewhat extravagant and 

nebulous, but it is fully grounded and informed by Allied’s mission statement, which is as follows: To provide 

knowledge-based organizations with distinctive urban workspace in a manner that is sustainable and conducive 

to human wellness, creativity, connectivity and diversity . Like all such statements, Allied’s vision and mission 

statements need elaboration . 

From inception, Allied’s approach to workspace was both humanistic and technical . Allied sees workspace 

from the vantage point of people who use it rather than people who invest in it . Allied sees workspace 

as optimal light and air, a flexible and open floorplan and a collaborative rather than feudal relationship 

between owner and user . Allied sees workspace as a product of aesthetic and technical design . Finally, 

Allied sees workspace as part of a large, amenity-rich, urban ecosystem rather than as an instance of the 

monumental isolation that characterizes so many conventional office towers . 

13

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (“ESG”)

Environmental, social and governance sensitivities are an integral part of Allied . They flow from its evolution 

as an organization focused on the provision of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major cities .

Long before going public, Allied focused on the adaptive re-use of older structures built over a century 

ago for light-industrial purposes . The goal at the time was not to minimize the impact on the environment . 

Rather, it was to meet what was rightly perceived to be a growing need on the part of users of workspace 

for environments that would assist them in attracting, motivating and retaining knowledge workers . 

Nevertheless, by re-cycling buildings rather than re-building them, Allied minimized the impact on the 

environment . This evolved into greater sensitivity as to the environmental impact of its activity . 

Again, long before its initial public offering (IPO), Allied concentrated its properties in specific urban 

areas . The goal at the time was not to make a social contribution . Rather, it was to meet what was rightly 

perceived to be the need on the part of users of workspace to grow in amenity-rich, mixed-use urban 

communities . Nevertheless, by aggregating buildings in this way, Allied became sensitized to the impact on 

the surrounding communities in which it operates . Allied began to see its buildings as part of a larger urban 

ecosystem and to acknowledge its responsibility to the surrounding community as a whole . 

Finally, the launch of Allied’s IPO in 2003 increased its sensitivity to governance . The sensitivities at the time 

were predominantly financial and operational, but as Allied evolved and attracted Unitholders globally, the 

sensitivity to a broader conception of governance increased . Allied’s Board and Management began to see 

governance as something that could strengthen the business significantly .

ESG OVERSIGHT & REPORTING

Allied’s Board and Management are committed to making its inherent approach to ESG more manifest, 

deliberate and measurable . They have always believed that submitting to informed scrutiny will make Allied 

a better business, and formally submitting to ESG scrutiny is no exception in this regard . The Trustees 

are responsible for the oversight of the ESG Strategy and ESG initiatives developed by Management . The 

Board’s Governance, Compensation and Nomination Committee (the “GC&NC”) oversees and monitors 

Allied’s ESG performance and reviews Allied’s ESG Report, ESG Policy and other governance policies and 

practices annually .

On the recommendation of the GC&NC, the Board established four specific and measurable ESG goals, the 

performance in relation to which the GC&NC and the Board analyzes as part of its assessment of incentive 

bonus awards for the executive officers .

In June 2023, Allied published its 2022 ESG Report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 

2021 Universal Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Real Estate Standard, the 

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial 

Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

Consistent with the practice of most Canadian public real estate entities, Allied does not provide formal 

guidance . It has in recent years provided an annual outlook with respect to three non-GAAP metrics, FFO 

per Unit, AFFO per Unit and Same Asset NOI . Over the course of 2021 and 2022, these metrics were up . In 

2023, these metrics were flat or down slightly . While Allied will strive for flat metrics in 2024, Management 

recognizes that the metrics may contract by up to five percent in the year . Management expects the metrics 

in the first half to contract, as it assumes no economic occupancy gains in that period . Management does 

expect economic occupancy gains in the second half of the year, but cannot be certain as to the magnitude 

of those gains, given the current macroeconomic environment . 

Allied has assembled the largest and most concentrated portfolio of economically-productive, underutilized 

urban land in Canada, one that affords extraordinary mixed-use intensification potential in major cities 

going forward . Allied believes deeply in the continued success of Canadian cities and has the platform and 

the breadth of funding relationships necessary to drive value in the coming years and decades for the benefit 

of its constituents .

The foregoing sections contain non-GAAP measures and forward-looking statements . Where it is not 

explicitly stated, the measures include the results of both continuing and discontinued operations . 

Management believes these combined results provide a more meaningful measure of financial performance 

for the periods presented . Refer to Non-GAAP Measures and Forward-Looking Statements below .

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Readers are cautioned that certain terms used in the MD&A listed below, including any related per unit 

amounts, used by Management of Allied to measure, compare and explain the operating results and 

financial performance of Allied do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, 

therefore, should not be construed as alternatives to net income, cash flow from operating activities, or any 

other measure prescribed under IFRS . These terms are defined in the following table and reconciliations 

to the most comparable IFRS measure are referenced, as applicable . The following terms do not have a 

standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented 

by other publicly traded entities .

Allied’s proportionate share 
or proportionate basis

All references to “proportionate share” or “proportionate basis” refer to 
a non-GAAP financial measure representing Allied’s proportionate share 
of equity accounted investments. Allied applies the equity method of 
accounting to its joint venture, TELUS Sky, as prescribed under IFRS. 
Management presents the proportionate share of its interests in joint 
arrangements that are accounted for using the equity method as it is 
viewed as relevant in demonstrating Allied’s performance and is the 
basis of many of Allied’s key performance measures.

Funds from Operations 
(“FFO”) 

FFO excluding condominium 
costs and the mark-to-
market adjustment on unit-

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure used by most Canadian real 
estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition established 
by REALPAC in its January 2022 White Paper (“White Paper”). FFO is 
defined as net income and comprehensive income from continuing 
operations less certain adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including 
fair value changes in investment properties, investment properties 
held for sale, Exchangeable LP Units and derivative instruments, 
impairment, transaction costs, incremental leasing costs, net income 
and comprehensive income from discontinued operations, distributions 
on Exchangeable LP Units as they are puttable instruments classified 
as financial liabilities, amortization of improvement allowances and 
amortization of property, plant and equipment which relates to owner-
occupied property. FFO is reconciled to net income and comprehensive 
income from continuing operations, which is the most directly 
comparable IFRS measure. Management believes FFO is a key measure 
of operating performance.

FFO excluding condominium related items and the mark-to-market 
adjustment on unit-based compensation starts with FFO and removes 
the effects of condominium revenue, condominium cost of sales, 
condominium marketing costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on 
unit-based compensation. FFO excluding condominium related items 
and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation is 
reconciled to net income and comprehensive income from continuing 
operations, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. 
Management believes this is a useful measure as these condominium 
items are not indicative of recurring operating performance and the 
mark-to-market adjustments of unit-based compensation can fluctuate 
widely with the market.

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure used by most Canadian 
real estate investment trusts based on a standardized definition 
established by REALPAC in the White Paper. AFFO is defined as FFO less 
amortization of straight-line rent, regular leasing expenditures, regular 
and recoverable maintenance capital expenditures, and incremental 
leasing costs (related to regular leasing expenditures). AFFO is 
reconciled to net income and comprehensive income from continuing 
operations, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. 
Management considers AFFO to be a useful measure of recurring 
economic earnings and relevant in understanding Allied’s ability to 
service its debt, fund capital expenditures and provide distributions 
to Unitholders.

AFFO excluding condominium related items and the mark-to-market

Same Asset NOI is a non-GAAP measure defined as NOI for the 
properties that Allied owned and operated for the entire duration of 
both the current and comparative period on a proportionate basis. The 
most directly comparable IFRS measure to Same Asset NOI is Operating 
Income. Management believes this is a useful measure as NOI growth 
can be assessed on its portfolio excluding the impact of acquisition

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTThe forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future results, operations or 

performance and are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, 

including those described in Section IX - Risks and Uncertainties, which could cause actual results, 

operations or performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this MD&A . Those 

risks and uncertainties include risks associated with financing and interest rates, access to capital, general 

economic conditions, lease roll-over, development and construction, user terminations and financial 

stability, competition for users and cybersecurity . Material assumptions that were made in formulating the 

forward-looking statements in this MD&A include the following: that our current target markets remain 

stable, with no material increase in supply of directly-competitive office space; that acquisition capitalization 

rates remain reasonably constant; that the trend toward intensification within our target markets continues; 

and that the equity and debt markets provide us with access to capital at a reasonable cost to fund our 

future growth and potentially refinance our debt as it matures . Although the forward-looking statements 

contained in this MD&A are based on what Management believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be 

no assurance that actual results, operations or performance will be consistent with these statements .

All forward-looking statements in this MD&A are qualified in their entirety by this forward-looking 

disclaimer . Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the discussion in Section I - Overview, 

Section V - Asset Profile and Section VI - Liquidity and Capital Resources are qualified in their entirety by 

this forward-looking disclaimer . These statements are made as of January 31, 2024, and, except as required 

by applicable law, Allied undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any such statements to reflect

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, interest expense on an IFRS basis increased by $9,543 or 

46 .1% over the comparable period primarily due to distributions on Exchangeable LP Units of $10,983 and 

higher interest expense on construction loans of $2,706 which had a higher outstanding balance at higher 

interest rates, partially offset by lower interest expense on the unsecured revolving operating facility of 

$4,375 and higher capitalized interest of $901 . The unsecured revolving operating facility was fully repaid 

with proceeds from the disposition of the UDC portfolio on August 16, 2023 .

34

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTFor the three months ended December 31, 2023, capitalized interest increased over the comparable period

(December 31, 2022 - $nil).

For the year ended December 31, 2023, interest expense on an IFRS basis increased by $34,271 or 47 .1% 

primarily due to distributions on Exchangeable LP Units of $18,068, higher interest expense on the 

unsecured revolving operating facility and construction loans of $22,904 which had a higher outstanding 

balance at higher interest rates, and the annualized impact of unsecured term loans of $7,415 . This is 

partially offset by higher capitalized interest of $17,076 . The unsecured revolving operating facility was fully 

repaid with proceeds from the disposition of the UDC portfolio on August 16, 2023 .

For the year ended December 31, 2023, capitalized interest increased over the comparable period by $17,076 . 

This was due to the continuation of development and upgrade activities across the portfolio of $10,847 and 

the remainder of $6,229 was due to a higher weighted average interest rate .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT 
 
In accordance with IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs, interest may be capitalized on properties in connection 

with activity required to get the assets ready for their intended use (refer to note 2 (g) in Allied’s audited 

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, for further details) . This would 

include upgrade work as well as work completed in relation to a future development, such as obtaining 

zoning approval, completing site approval plans, and engineering and architectural drawings . On 

completion of upgrade and development activity, the ability to capitalize interest expense ends, partially 

offsetting the financial impact of lease commencement .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTOTHER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES 

Allied’s internal forecast for 2023 was low-to-mid-single-digit percentage growth in each of FFO per unit, 

AFFO per unit and Same Asset NOI . The actual results for the year ended December 31, 2023, was a decline 

of 2 .3% on FFO per unit, an increase of 0 .1% in AFFO per unit and a decline of 0 .4% on Same Asset NOI in 

the rental portfolio .

Allied’s FFO per unit growth was lower than expected due to extended lease-up timeframes and higher 

interest expense . The extended lease-up timeframes resulted in Allied’s occupancy as at December 31, 2023, 

to be 86 .4% . The higher interest expense of $14,104 was due to higher draws on the unsecured credit facility 

as a result of the timing of the closing of the Urban Data Centre portfolio sale and higher interest rates . 

Allied’s AFFO per unit met expectations due to lower than expected regular leasing expenditures as a result 

of extended lease-up timeframes, partially offset by the change in FFO per unit . Allied’s Same Asset NOI was 

lower than expected due to extended lease-up timeframes as described above .

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”) AND FFO EXCLUDING CONDOMINIUM RELATED ITEMS, FINANCING 

PREPAYMENT COSTS, AND THE MARK-TO-MARKET ADJUSTMENT ON UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION

Allied’s calculation of FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is in compliance with REALPAC’s standardized definition 

in the White Paper . FFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs, and the mark-

to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, a non-GAAP measure, starts with the standardized 

definition of FFO and removes the effects of condominium revenue, condominium cost of sales, 

condominium marketing costs, financing prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-

based compensation . Refer to Non-GAAP Measures on page 16 .

Allied initiated condominium pre-sales at KING Toronto, a 50/50 joint arrangement with Westbank, in the 

fourth quarter of 2018 . For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, Allied incurred $89 and 

$538, respectively, of condominium marketing costs in connection with the pre-sales activity . Marketing 

costs associated with merchant development are expensed when incurred . Allied and Westbank have 

initiated construction of KING Toronto . 

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, FFO per unit excluding condominium related items, 

financing prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totalled 

$0 .614 . This is a decrease of $0 .004 or 0 .6% over the comparable period in the prior year . The decrease was 

primarily due to a decrease in operating income of $11,975 ($16,559 is related to the UDC portfolio which was 

sold in August 2023), partially offset by an increase in interest income of $9,320, lower interest expense of 

$1,440 (which excludes the distributions on Exchangeable LP Units) and lower general and administrative 

expenses of $935 .

For the year ended December 31, 2023, FFO per unit excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totalled $2 .380 . This is a 

decrease of $0 .055 or 2 .3% over the comparable period in the prior year . The decrease was primarily due to 

a decrease in operating income of $8,650 ($30,473 is related to the UDC portfolio which was sold in August 

2023) and a higher interest expense of $14,104 (which excludes the distributions on Exchangeable LP Units), 

partially offset by an increase in interest income of $21,525 .

38

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTTo ensure sufficient cash is retained to meet capital improvement and leasing objectives, Allied strives to 

maintain an appropriate FFO pay-out ratio excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment 

costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation . Refer to Non-GAAP Measures 

on page 16 . For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, the FFO pay-out ratio excluding 

condominium related items, financing prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based 

compensation was 73 .3% and 75 .6%, respectively .

ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“AFFO”) EXCLUDING CONDOMINIUM RELATED ITEMS, 

FINANCING PREPAYMENT COSTS, AND THE MARK-TO-MARKET ADJUSTMENT ON UNIT-BASED 

COMPENSATION

Allied’s calculation of AFFO, a non-GAAP measure, is in compliance with REALPAC’s standardized definition 

in the White Paper . AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs, and the 

mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, a non-GAAP measure, starts with the standardized 

definition of AFFO and removes the effects of condominium revenue, condominium cost of sales, 

condominium marketing costs, financing prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-

based compensation . Refer to Non-GAAP Measures on page 16 .

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, AFFO per unit excluding condominium related items, 

financing prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totalled 

$0 .562 . This represents an increase of $0 .014 or 2 .6% over the comparable period in the prior year . The 

increase was primarily due to lower maintenance capital expenditures of $1,733 and lower regular leasing 

expenditures of $1,290, partially offset by the changes in FFO excluding condominium related items and the 

mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation discussed above .

For the year ended December 31, 2023, AFFO per unit excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totalled $2 .177 . This 

represents an increase of $0 .003 or 0 .1% over the comparable period in the prior year . The increase was 

primarily due to lower regular leasing expenditures by $6,769 and lower maintenance capital expenditures 

of $2,915, partially offset by higher amortization of straight-line rent by $2,754, and the changes in FFO 

excluding condominium related items and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation 

discussed above .

To ensure sufficient cash is retained to meet capital improvement and leasing objectives, Allied strives to 

maintain an appropriate AFFO pay-out ratio excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment 

costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, which is the ratio of actual 

distributions to AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs, and the mark-

to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation in a given period . For the three months and year ended 

December 31, 2023, the AFFO pay-out ratio excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment 

costs, and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation was 80 .0% and 82 .7%, respectively .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTCAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Our portfolio requires ongoing maintenance capital expenditures and leasing expenditures . 

Regular maintenance capital expenditures are costs incurred to maintain and sustain the existing property 

infrastructure, including structural repairs . Recoverable maintenance capital expenditures are typically 

not structural in nature, but allow the building to operate more efficiently, such as investing in building 

automation systems and HVAC systems . These improvements provide a direct benefit to users and can 

be recovered over the useful life of the asset according to the lease . Both regular maintenance capital 

expenditures and recoverable maintenance capital expenditures are deducted in the calculation of AFFO .

Regular leasing expenditures are leasing costs incurred to maintain the existing revenues of a property 

and are deducted in the calculation of AFFO . These costs are considered operational, and typically include 

improvement allowances, landlord’s work and leasing commissions required to replace or renew users at 

existing rates or market rates .

Revenue-enhancing capital is invested to improve the revenue generating ability of the properties . This 

includes investments to change the use of space, increase gross leasable area, or materially improve the 

aesthetics or efficiency of a property . Development costs are investments to generate new revenue streams 

and/or to increase the productivity of a property . These consist of pre-development costs, carrying costs, 

direct construction costs, leasing costs, improvement allowances, borrowing costs, and costs of internal staff 

directly attributable to the projects under development .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTIn most instances, occupancy commences with a fixturing period prior to rent commencement . During the 

fixturing period, straight-line rent revenue is recognized . Thereafter, base and additional rent are paid by 

the user and recognized as rental revenue . In cases where interest and realty taxes were being capitalized 

prior to occupancy (in accordance with IFRS), capitalization ends on occupancy . During occupancy, rental 

revenue is recognized and interest and realty taxes are expensed .

In some instances, particularly in ground-up developments, there may be fixturing periods outside of the 

term of the lease while base building work is being completed . In this case, capitalization is taking place so 

revenue is not recognized .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTLEASE MATURITY 

As at December 31, 2023, 87 .3% of the GLA in Allied’s rental portfolio was leased and its weighted average 

term to maturity was 5 .8 years . The estimated weighted average market net rental rate is based on 

Management’s estimates of today’s market rental rates and is supported by independent appraisals of 

certain properties . There can be no assurance that Management’s current estimates are accurate or that they 

will not change with the passage of time .

The following contains information on the urban workspace leases that mature through 2028 and the 

corresponding estimated weighted average market rental rate as at December 31, 2023 . Where the renewal 

rate on maturity is contractually predetermined, it is reflected below as the market rental rate .

(1)  This measure is presented on an IFRS basis.
(2)  Excludes the results of the UDC segment which was classified as a discontinued operation in Q4 2022. The prior period comparative figures 

have been revised accordingly.

(3)  This includes the weighted average number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units.
(4)  Starting Q2 2022, this includes distributions on Units and Exchangeable LP Units. The distributions in Q4 2023 exclude the special cash 
distributions declared of $61,419 on Units and $5,668 on Exchangeable LP Units, and the special Unit distribution declared of $639,780.

(5)  This is a non-GAAP measure, refer to page 16. These non-GAAP measures include the results of the continuing operations and the discontinued 

operations.

(6)  In the fourth quarter of 2022, Allied incurred ($564) of financing prepayment costs for an accelerated amortization of deferred premium in 

connection with the favourable refinancing of a mortgage.

(7)  Prior to Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust, net asset value per unit (“NAV per unit”) was calculated as total equity as at the 

corresponding period ended, divided by the actual number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units outstanding at period end. On Allied’s 
conversion to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, NAV per unit was calculated as total equity plus the value of Exchangeable LP Units as at 
the corresponding period ended, divided by the actual number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units. The rationale for including the value of 
Exchangeable LP Units is because they are economically equivalent to Units, receive distributions equal to the distributions paid on the Units 
and are exchangeable, at the holder’s option, for Units.

(8)  Net debt as a multiple of annualized adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2022 including the expected annualized EBITDA from the six properties acquired 

from Choice Properties on March 31, 2022, is 9.4x.

Allied’s quarterly results for the past eight quarters are impacted by occupancy, the economic productivity 

of the portfolio, acquisitions, dispositions, the magnitude and timing of development expenditures and 

project completions, interest rate fluctuations and changes in the fair values of investment properties and 

investment properties held for sale .

Includes Allied’s proportionate share of the equity accounted investment of the following amounts for the three months and year 
ended December 31, 2023: improvement allowances of $205 and $773, respectively; leasing commissions of $3 and $97, respectively; capital 
expenditures of $337 and $847, respectively; amortization of straight-line rent and improvement allowances of $(126) and $(470), respectively; 
and a fair value loss on investment properties of $15,039 and $19,677, respectively.

As at December 31, 2023, Allied did not have any investment properties held for sale . There were five 

investment properties held for sale as at December 31, 2022, totaling $1,354,830, four located in Toronto and 

one located in Montréal . The decrease of $1,354,830 for the year ended December 31, 2023, is due to the 

disposition of investment properties held for sale .

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, Allied recognized a fair value loss on investment properties 

and investment properties held for sale of $509,610 on a proportionate basis . This was primarily in the 

rental portfolio due to the expansion of capitalization rates to reflect the current macroeconomic conditions 

and the extended lease-up timeframes .

61

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTFor the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied recognized a fair value loss on investment properties and 

investment properties held for sale of $683,480 on a proportionate basis . This was primarily in the rental 

portfolio due to the expansion of capitalization rates to reflect the current macroeconomic conditions and 

extended lease-up timeframes, and higher costs of projects in the development portfolio, partially offset by a 

fair value gain on the UDC portfolio .

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, Allied capitalized $16,890 of borrowing costs to its 

capital expenditures on a proportionate basis, $11,209 of which related to development activity and 

$3,428 to upgrade activity in the rental portfolio . Allied capitalized $2,253 of borrowing costs to qualifying 

residential inventory . 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied capitalized $72,300 of borrowing costs to its capital 

expenditures on a proportionate basis, $52,537 of which related to development activity and $10,548 

to upgrade activity in the rental portfolio . Allied capitalized $9,215 of borrowing costs to qualifying 

residential inventory . 

The appraised fair value of investment properties and investment properties held for sale is most commonly 

determined using the following methodologies: 

Discounted cash flow method (“DCF method”) - Under this approach, discount rates are applied to the 

projected annual operating cash flows, generally over a ten-year period, including a terminal value of the 

properties based on a capitalization rate applied to the estimated net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP 

measure, in the terminal year . This method is primarily used to value the rental portfolio, and, in some 

cases, investment properties held for sale . 

Comparable sales method - This approach compares a subject property’s characteristics with those of 

comparable properties which have recently sold . The process uses one of several techniques to adjust 

the price of the comparable transactions according to the presence, absence, or degree of characteristics 

which influence value . These characteristics include the cost of construction incurred at a property under 

development . This method is primarily used to value the development portfolio and ancillary parking 

facilities and, in some cases, investment properties held for sale . 

Direct capitalization method - Under this approach, capitalization rates are applied to the estimated stabilized 

NOI of the properties . Estimated stabilized NOI is based on projected rental revenue and property operating 

costs, and external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, and is further adjusted for 

estimated vacancy loss and capital reserves . Currently, this method is used only to value residential use .

62

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAllied determines the fair value of its investment property portfolio every quarter and at year-end with 

the support of a third-party appraiser . The fair value of each investment property is determined based on 

various factors, including rental income from current leases, assumptions about rental income and cash 

outflows related to future leases reflecting market conditions, and recent market transactions .

Allied’s valuation of its investment properties considers both asset-specific and market-specific factors, 

as well as observable transactions for similar assets . The determination of fair value requires the use of 

estimates, which are determined with the support of a third-party appraiser and compared with market 

data, third-party reports, and research, as well as observable market conditions .

In valuing the investment properties as at December 31, 2023, the value derived using the DCF method was 

compared to the value that would have been calculated by applying a capitalization rate to stabilized NOI . 

This is done to assess the reasonability of the value obtained under the DCF method . The resulting portfolio 

weighted average capitalization rate was 4 .83%, detailed in the table below:

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTRENTAL PROPERTIES

Allied’s rental portfolio was built by consolidating the ownership of urban office properties . Scale within 

each city of focus proved to be important as Allied grew . It enabled Allied to provide users with greater 

expansion flexibility, more parking and better human and digital connectivity than its direct competitors . 

Scale across the country also proved to be important . It enabled Allied to serve national and global users 

better, to expand its growth opportunities and to achieve meaningful geographic diversification .

URBAN WORKSPACE

Allied has evolved into a leading owner-operator of urban workspace in Canada’s major cities . It owns 

201 rental properties in six Canadian cities (five of these rental properties are partially under development) 

as at December 31, 2023 . 

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied did not acquire any investment properties .

On August 16, 2023, Allied closed on the disposition of the UDC portfolio to KDDI Canada Inc ., a wholly 

owned subsidiary of KDDI Corporation (“KDDI”) for total gross cash proceeds of $1,350,000, which 

represented the fair value of these investment properties at the time of disposition net of the lease liability 

at 250 Front Street W . Therefore, there was no gain or loss recorded on closing . The UDC portfolio includes 

151 Front Street W, 905 King Street W and 250 Front Street W and the lease liability at 250 Front Street W . 

On December 15, 2023, Allied closed on the disposition of one investment property held for sale, 8 Place 

du Commerce in Montréal, at a selling price of $20,000, which represented the fair value of the investment 

property at the time of disposition, accordingly there was no gain or loss recorded on closing . In addition, 

Allied incurred net working capital adjustments of $152 and selling costs of $167, resulting in total net cash 

consideration of $19,681 .

RENTAL PROPERTIES UNDERGOING INTENSIFICATION APPROVAL

One way Allied creates value is by intensifying the use of underutilized land . The land beneath the buildings 

in Toronto is significantly underutilized in relation to the existing zoning potential . This is also true of some 

of Allied’s buildings in Kitchener, Montréal, Calgary, and Vancouver . These opportunities are becoming more 

compelling as the urban areas of Canada’s major cities intensify . Since Allied has captured the unutilized 

land value at a low cost, it can achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns on intensification . 

64

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAllied began tracking the intensification potential inherent in the Toronto portfolio in the fourth quarter of 

2007 . At the time, the 46 properties in Toronto comprised 2 .4 million square feet of GLA and were situated 

on 780,000 square feet (17 .8 acres) of underutilized land immediately east and west of the Downtown Core . 

The 112 properties in Toronto now comprise 5 .4 million square feet of current rental portfolio GLA and 

are situated on 40 .0 acres of underutilized land immediately east and west of the Downtown Core . With 

achievable rezoning, the underlying land in our Toronto portfolio could permit up to 12 .0 million square feet 

of GLA, 6 .6 million square feet more than currently is in place .

Allied entered the Montréal market in April of 2005 . The 34 properties in Montréal now comprise 

6 .3 million square feet of current rental portfolio GLA . As they are much larger buildings on average 

than those comprising the Toronto portfolio, the 46 .1 acres of land on which they sit (immediately south, 

east and northeast of the Downtown Core) are more fully utilized than the land in the Toronto portfolio . 

Nevertheless, the underlying land in the Montréal portfolio could permit up to 9 .4 million square feet of 

GLA, 3 .1 million square feet more than currently is in place .

There is similar potential inherent in the rest of Allied’s portfolio, which is quantified in the chart below . 

Across Canada on a portfolio-wide basis, there is 2 .3 million square feet that is currently in PUD and 

10 .0 million square feet that is potential incremental density which totals 12 .3 million square feet as at 

December 31, 2023 . Of the 10 .0 million square feet of potential incremental density, 4 .8 million square 

feet is reflected in the appraised fair values, mainly at properties where zoning approvals are in place . 

The remaining 5 .2 million square feet is not reflected in the appraised fair values .

square feet of Adelaide & Duncan, which has been transferred to the rental portfolio. 

(2)  The GLA estimated on completion for properties under development in Montréal excludes 100,208 square feet of GLA at 700 Saint Hubert, 

which has been transferred to the rental portfolio.

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTThe timing of development for the 10 .0 million square feet of potential incremental density is impossible to 

predict with precision, however the chart below provides a reasonable estimate of when the potential could 

begin to be realized . One factor is our self-imposed limitation on development activity . The focus will be on 

the Toronto portfolio .

Estimated GLA is based on applicable standards of area measurement and the expected or actual outcome 

of rezoning . These properties are currently generating NOI and will continue to do so until Allied initiates 

construction . With respect to the ultimate intensification of these properties, a significant amount of pre-

leasing will be required on the larger projects before construction commences . Allied intends to align all 

new developments and redevelopments with its Net Zero Carbon Plan .

67

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTDEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES 

Development is another way to create value and a particularly effective one for Allied, given the strategic 

positioning of its portfolio in the urban areas of Canada’s major cities . Urban intensification is the single 

most important trend in relation to Allied’s business . Not only does it anchor Allied’s investment and 

operating focus, it provides the context within which Allied creates value for its Unitholders .

The completion of projects currently under development is an important component of Allied’s growth . The 

expectation is largely contingent upon completing the development projects in the manner contemplated . 

The most important factor affecting completion will be successful lease-up of space in the development 

portfolio . The material assumption is that there continues to be demand for leasing office space . Allied 

will not commence material development of its urban office portfolio unless it has significant pre-leased 

commitments to mitigate risk . Pursuant to Allied’s Declaration of Trust, the cost of Properties Under 

Development cannot exceed 15% of GBV . At December 31, 2023, the cost of Allied’s Properties Under 

Development was 11 .6% of GBV (December 31, 2022 - 12 .6%) . This self-imposed limitation is intended to align 

the magnitude of Allied’s development activity with the overall size of the business .

Properties Under Development consist of properties purchased with the intention of being developed or 

redeveloped before being operated and properties transferred from the rental portfolio once activities 

changing the condition or state of the property, such as the de-leasing process, commence .

Allied has the following 12 Properties Under Development and five rental properties partially under 

development . Eight of the projects are ground-up developments and nine are redevelopments .

and 539 King W. The estimated gross proceeds from the sale of the residential inventory is in the range of $290,000 - $295,000. The estimated 
total cost includes the commercial and residential components and is net of the estimated gross proceeds from the sale of the residential 
inventory of $290,000.

71

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTThe initial cost of Properties Under Development includes the acquisition cost of the property, direct 

development costs, operating costs, realty taxes and borrowing costs directly attributable to the 

development . Borrowing costs, operating costs and realty taxes associated with direct expenditures on 

Properties Under Development are capitalized . The amount of capitalized borrowing costs is determined 

first by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant, and otherwise by applying a 

weighted average cost of borrowings to eligible expenditures after adjusting for borrowings associated with 

other specific developments .

Transfer to the rental portfolio occurs when the property is capable of operating in the manner intended by 

Management . Generally this occurs upon completion of construction and receipt of all necessary occupancy 

and other permits . In some instances, particularly in ground-up developments like The Well, base building 

work is underway during the fixturing period . In this case, transfer to the rental portfolio occurs when 

the base building work is complete . Estimated annual NOI is based on 100% economic occupancy . The 

most important factor affecting estimated annual NOI is the successful lease-up of vacant space in the 

development properties at current levels of net rent per square foot . The material assumption is that the 

office leasing market in the relevant markets remains stable . Estimated total cost includes acquisition cost, 

estimated total construction, financing costs and realty taxes . The material assumption made in formulating 

the estimated total cost is that construction and financing costs remain stable for the remainder of the 

development period . Estimated yield on cost is the estimated annual NOI as a percentage of the estimated 

total cost . Estimated cost to complete is the difference between the estimated total cost and the costs 

incurred to date .

Residential inventory consists of assets that are developed by Allied for sale in the ordinary course of 

business . Allied may transfer an investment property to residential inventory based on a change in use, 

as evidenced by the commencement of development activities with the intention to sell . Alternatively, a 

transfer from residential inventory to investment property would be evidenced by the commencement  

of leasing activity . 

On November 30, 2018, Allied entered into a joint arrangement with Westbank to develop KING Toronto . 

KING Toronto is a mixed-use property comprised of office, retail and residential uses . As part of the 

arrangement Allied sold a 50% undivided interest to Westbank . The residential component will be 

developed and sold as condominium units, totaling 440 units . As at December 31, 2023, 397 units or 90% 

have been pre-sold, subject to customary closing conditions . Management expects the condominium sales to 

close in 2025 .

Residential inventory carrying value is calculated as the estimated gross proceeds less estimated costs to 

complete . The impairment during the year ended December 31, 2023, and year ended December 31, 2022, 

reflects higher estimated costs to complete .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTSection VI
—Liquidity and Capital Resources

Allied’s liquidity and capital resources are used to fund capital investments including development activity 

and leasing costs, interest expense and distributions to Unitholders . The primary source of liquidity is net 

operating income generated from rental properties, which is dependent on rental and occupancy rates and 

the structure of lease agreements, among other variables .

Allied has financed its operations through the use of equity, Exchangeable LP Units, mortgage debt secured 

by rental properties, construction loans, a promissory note payable, an unsecured revolving operating 

facility, senior unsecured debentures and unsecured term loans . Conservative financial management has 

been consistently applied through the use of long term, fixed rate, debt financing . Allied’s objective is to 

maximize financial flexibility while continuing to strengthen the balance sheet . Management intends to 

achieve this by continuing to access the equity market, unsecured debenture market, unsecured loans and 

growing the pool of unencumbered investment properties . As at December 31, 2023, 92 .3% of investment 

properties on a proportionate basis were unencumbered . 

In November 2021, Allied established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) which allowed 

it to issue and sell up to $300,000 of Units to the public, from time to time, at its discretion . The ATM 

Program was designed to provide Allied with additional financing flexibility which was used in conjunction 

with other existing funding sources . The ATM Program was effective until July 2, 2023 .

Allied has various sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of 

its unsecured revolving operating facility, which totaled $997,217 as at December 31, 2023, compared to 

$166,700 as at December 31, 2022 . The increase of $830,517 in liquidity is primarily due to the full repayment 

of the unsecured revolving operating facility with proceeds from the sale of Allied’s UDC portfolio on August 

16, 2023 .

entire facility and is earning a related guarantee fee on up to $147,500 of the facility . On August 23, 2019, 

the Adelaide & Duncan joint arrangement entered into a swap agreement to fix approximately 75% of the 

construction loan up to $209,572 at 2 .86% . The swap matured on March 31, 2023, so the construction loan is 

no longer fixed and is subject to the facility’s variable rate .

On February 21, 2020, Allied and Perimeter obtained a $138,000 construction loan for the Breithaupt 

Phase III joint arrangement from a syndicate of Canadian banks, in which Allied’s 50% share is $69,000 . On

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT2023, the facility limit was decreased from $465,000 to $452,598, in which Allied’s 50% share is $226,299 . 

The loan matures on December 17, 2024, and bears interest at bank prime plus 45 basis points or bankers’ 

acceptance rate plus 145 basis points with a standby fee of 25 basis points and a letter of credit fee of 100 

basis points . Allied is providing a joint and several guarantee of the entire facility and is earning a related 

guarantee fee on up to $226,299 of the facility .

On December 5, 2022, the 108 East 5th Avenue joint arrangement obtained a $150,000 construction lending 

facility from a syndicate of Canadian banks, in which Allied’s 50% share is $75,000 . The loan matures 

on December 6, 2025, and bears interest at prime plus 35 basis points or bankers’ acceptance rate plus 

135 basis points with a standby fee of 27 basis points and a letter of credit fee rate of 100 basis points . These 

interest rates and the standby fee (other than the letter of credit fee) are subject to variability based on 

the achievement of two distinct sustainability performance targets . For each sustainability performance 

target achieved, the interest rate and standby fee would decrease by 0 .025% per annum and 0 .005% per 

annum, respectively . In addition, if certain sustainability minimums are not achieved, the interest rate and 

standby fee would increase by 0 .025% per annum and 0 .005% per annum, respectively . Depending on the 

applicable sustainability performance target or sustainability minimum, the settlement of these interest 

rate variations and the standby fee occurs either annually or at the earlier of December 6, 2025, and the 

date the construction lending facility is fully repaid . Allied has provided a joint and several guarantee of the 

entire facility and is earning a related guarantee fee on up to $75,000 of the facility . On January 13, 2023, 

the 108 East 5th Avenue joint arrangement entered into a swap agreement to fix approximately 75% of the 

construction loan up to $110,175 at 4 .90% .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTFINANCIAL COVENANTS

The Unsecured Facility, Unsecured Term Loans, construction loans payable and Unsecured Debentures 

contain numerous financial covenants . Failure to comply with the covenants could result in a default, which, 

if not waived or cured, could result in adverse financial consequences . Effective June 2023, the agreements 

governing the Unsecured Facility, Unsecured Term Loans, construction loans payable and Unsecured 

Debentures were amended to exclude the value of the Exchangeable LP Units recognized as a liability and 

the distribution on the Exchangeable LP Units recognized as an interest expense from the calculation of 

certain covenants . Effective December 2023, waivers were obtained related to the agreements governing 

the Unsecured Facility, construction loans payable and Unsecured Term Loans to exclude the special cash 

distribution and the special Unit distribution from the calculation of the distribution payout ratio . The 

related covenants are as follows:

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

On February 22, 2023, Allied received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the renewal of 

its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), which entitles Allied to purchase up to 12,582,628 of its outstanding 

Units, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at February 10, 2023 . The NCIB commenced 

February 24, 2023, and will expire on February 23, 2024, or such earlier date as Allied completes its 

purchases pursuant to the NCIB . All purchases under the NCIB will be made on the open market through 

the facilities of the TSX or alternate trading systems in Canada at market prices prevailing at the time of 

purchase . Any Units that are repurchased will either be cancelled or delivered to participants under Allied’s 

Restricted Unit Plan or to employees pursuant to Allied’s employee programs . 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied purchased 76,959 Units for $2,250 at a weighted average 

price of $29 .25 per Unit under its NCIB program, of which 76,450 Units were purchased for delivery to 

participants under Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan and 509 Units were purchased for certain employee rewards 

outside of Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan .

COMPENSATION PLANS

Allied adopted a unit option plan (the “Unit Option Plan”) providing for the issuance, from time to time, at 

the discretion of the trustees, of options to purchase Units for cash . Participation in the Unit Option Plan is 

restricted to certain employees of Allied . The Unit Option Plan complies with the requirements of the TSX . 

The exercise price of any option granted will not be less than the closing market price of the Units on the 

day preceding the date of grant . The term of the options do not exceed ten years . Options granted prior to 

February 22, 2017, vest evenly over three years; options granted subsequently vest evenly over four years 

from the date of grant . All options are settled in Units . Effective December 2021, no further options will be 

granted under the Unit Option Plan .

88

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAt December 31, 2023, Allied had granted options to purchase up to 1,712,971 Units outstanding, of which 

1,437,023 had vested . At December 31, 2022, Allied had granted options to purchase 1,717,043 Units 

outstanding, of which 1,151,274 had vested . 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied recorded a unit-based compensation expense of $389 

(December 31, 2022 - $876) in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) 

income and comprehensive (loss) income related to the Unit Option Plan .

In March 2010, Allied adopted a restricted unit plan (the “Restricted Unit Plan”), whereby restricted Units 

(“Restricted Units”) are granted to certain key employees and trustees, at the discretion of the Board of 

Trustees . The Restricted Units are purchased in the open market . Employees and trustees who are granted 

Restricted Units have the right to vote and to receive distributions from the date of the grant . Generally, the 

Restricted Units granted to employees vest as to one-third on each of the three anniversaries following the 

date of the grant . Restricted Units granted to non-management trustees are fully vested . Whether vested or 

not, without the specific authority of the Governance and Compensation Committee, the Restricted Units 

may not be sold, mortgaged or otherwise disposed of for a period of six years following the date of the grant, 

except that in the case of a non-management trustee, the release date will be automatically accelerated to 

the date such person ceases to hold office as a trustee of Allied . The Restricted Unit Plan contains provisions 

providing for the vesting or forfeiture of unvested Restricted Units within specified time periods in the 

event the employee’s employment is terminated, and authorizes the Chief Executive Officer, in his or her 

discretion, to accelerate the release date and vesting of Restricted Units in certain circumstances where 

an employee’s employment is terminated . At December 31, 2023, Allied had 294,254 Restricted Units 

outstanding (December 31, 2022 – 322,411) .

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied recorded a unit-based compensation expense of $2,421, 

(December 31, 2022 - $2,807) in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of (loss)

89

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTIn December 2021, Allied adopted a cash settled performance and restricted trust unit plan (the “PTU/RTU 

Plan”) whereby performance trust units and/or restricted trust units (together, “Plan Units”) are granted 

to certain employees at the discretion of the Board . Plan Units are subject to such vesting, settlement, 

performance criteria and adjustment factors as are established by the Board at the time of the grant and 

accumulate distribution equivalents in the form of additional Plan Units . The PTU/RTU Plan contains 

provisions providing for the vesting or forfeiture of unvested Plan Units within specified time periods in 

the event the employee’s employment is terminated, and authorizes the Chief Executive Officer, in their 

discretion, to amend the vesting and settlement of Plan Units in certain circumstances where an employee’s 

employment is terminated . The following is a summary of the activity of Allied’s PTU/RTU Plan:

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTEXCHANGEABLE LP UNITS

EXCHANGEABLE LP UNITS (AUTHORIZED - UNLIMITED)

The Exchangeable LP Units issued by Allied Properties Exchangeable Limited Partnership (the 

“Partnership”) are economically equivalent to Units, receive distributions equal to the distributions paid on 

the Units and are exchangeable, on a one-for-one basis, at the holder’s option, for Units . All Exchangeable 

LP Units are held, directly or indirectly, by Choice Properties .

The 11,809,145 Exchangeable LP Units issued on March 31, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of 

six properties from Choice Properties contain lock-up and standstill restrictions . On each of June 30, 

2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, the lock-up expired on 2,952,286 Exchangeable LP 

Units . The following Exchangeable LP Units are subject to lock-up and the expiration is based on the 

following schedule:

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTPrior to Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust, the Exchangeable LP Units were presented within non-

controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets . In addition, net income and other comprehensive 

income was attributable to unitholders and to non-controlling interests, with the latter equivalent to the 

amount allocated to the Partnership for income tax purposes . On Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust 

on June 12, 2023, the Exchangeable LP Units were reclassified to financial liabilities in the consolidated 

balance sheets as they can be exchanged for Units which are puttable instruments . Allied recognized in 

equity the difference between the carrying value of the equity instrument and the fair value of the financial 

liabilities at the date of reclassification . Subsequent to the conversion, at the end of each period, the 

Exchangeable LP Units are measured at fair value through profit or loss . The fair value of the Exchangeable 

LP Units is determined by using the quoted trading price of Units, as the Exchangeable LP Units are 

exchangeable into Units at the option of the holder . 

DISTRIBUTIONS

Allied is focused on increasing distributions to its Unitholders on a regular and prudent basis . During the 

first 12 months of operations, Allied made regular monthly distributions of $1 .10 per unit on an annualized 

basis . The distribution increases since then are set out in the table below:

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTOn December 29, 2023, 31,703,663 Units were distributed at a price of $20 .18 per Unit, for an aggregate 

value of $639,780 . Immediately following the Special Distribution of Units, the outstanding Units of Allied 

were consolidated such that each Unitholder held, after the consolidation, the same number of Units as held 

immediately prior to the Special Distribution .

On each date that a distribution is declared by Allied on the Units, a distribution in an equal amount per 

unit is declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units . A holder of Exchangeable LP Units may 

elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of distributions declared by the Partnership until the first business 

day following the end of the fiscal year . If the holder elects to defer, the Partnership will loan the holder 

an amount equal to the deferred distribution without interest, and the loan will be due and payable on the 

first business day following the end of the fiscal year during which the loan was advanced . The distributions 

declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, was 

$26,925, which includes a special cash distribution of $5,668, which is $0 .48 per Exchangeable LP Unit, 

for which Choice Properties elected to receive a loan in lieu of all of the distributions . The loan in lieu of 

distributions issued to Choice Properties for the cash advances made during the year ended December 31, 

2023, was a note receivable of $21,207 and $7,440 was advanced to Choice Properties as a note receivable on 

January 15, 2024 . Since there is a legally enforceable right and an intention by Allied and Choice Properties 

to settle the note receivable from Choice Properties and the distributions payable to Choice Properties on a 

net basis on the first business day following the end of the fiscal year, these financial instruments are offset 

on the balance sheet . On January 2, 2024, $21,207 of the note receivable due from Choice Properties was 

settled on a net basis against the distributions payable to Choice Properties .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTIn determining the amount of distributions to be made, Allied’s Board of Trustees considers many factors, 

including provisions in its Declaration of Trust, macroeconomic and industry specific environments, the 

overall financial condition of Allied, future capital requirements, debt covenants, and taxable income . 

In accordance with Allied’s distribution policy, Management and the Board of Trustees regularly review 

Allied’s rate of distributions to ensure an appropriate level of cash and non-cash distributions . Management 

anticipates that distributions declared will, in the foreseeable future, continue to vary from net income 

as net income includes fair value adjustments and other non-cash items . While cash flows from operating 

activities are generally sufficient to cover distribution requirements, timing of expenses and seasonal 

fluctuations in non-cash working capital may result in a shortfall . These seasonal or short-term fluctuations 

will be funded, if necessary, by the Unsecured Facility . As such, the cash distributions are not an economic 

return of capital, but a distribution of sustainable cash flow from operations . Based on current facts and 

assumptions, Management does not anticipate cash distributions will be reduced or suspended in the 

foreseeable future .

The rate of distribution (excluding the Special Distribution) as at December 31, 2023, amounts to $1 .80 per 

Unit per annum (December 31, 2022 - $1 .75 per Unit per annum) .

COMMITMENTS

At December 31, 2023, Allied had future commitments as set out below, excluding the amount held within

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTSection VII
—Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and 

estimates in applying Allied’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in 

the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes .

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions are discussed in Allied’s audited consolidated financial 

statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the notes contained therein .

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Accounting policies and any respective changes are discussed in Allied’s audited consolidated financial 

statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the notes contained therein .

96

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTSection VIII
—Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Management maintains appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to provide reasonable 

assurance that information that is publicly disclosed is complete, reliable and timely . The Chief Executive 

Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under 

their direct supervision, the design and operating effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as 

defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) 

at December 31, 2023, and based on that evaluation, have concluded that such disclosure controls and 

procedures were appropriately designed and were operating effectively .

Management is responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide 

reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial 

statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS . The CEO and CFO evaluated, or caused to 

be evaluated under their direct supervision, the effectiveness of Allied’s internal controls over financial 

reporting (as defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and 

Interim Filings) at December 31, 2023, using the COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), 

published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission . Based on that 

assessment, the CEO and the CFO determined that internal controls over financial reporting were 

appropriately designed and were operating effectively .

No changes were made in the design of internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended 

December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Allied’s 

internal controls over financial reporting . 

It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only 

reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met . Because of the 

inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance of 

control issues, including whether instances of fraud, if any, have been detected . These inherent limitations 

include, among other items: (i) that Management’s assumptions and judgments could ultimately prove to be 

incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of any undetected errors; and (iii) that 

controls may be circumvented by the unauthorized acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, 

or by Management override .

97

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTSection IX
—Risks and Uncertainties

There are certain risk factors inherent in the investment and ownership of real estate . Real estate 

investments are capital intensive, and success from real estate investments depends upon maintaining 

occupancy levels and rental income flows to generate acceptable returns . These success factors are 

dependent on general economic conditions and local real estate markets, demand for leased premises and 

competition from other available properties . 

Allied’s portfolio is focused on a particular asset class in seven metropolitan real estate markets in Canada . 

This focus enables Management to capitalize on certain economies of scale and competitive advantages that 

would not otherwise be available .

The following discussion of risks is not exhaustive but is designed to highlight the key risks that may affect 

Allied’s business, operations and financial condition or future performance .

98

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTOPERATING RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

LEASE ROLL-OVER RISK

Allied is subject to lease roll-over risk . Lease roll-over risk arises from the possibility that Allied may 

experience difficulty renewing or replacing users occupying space covered by leases that mature . Allied 

strives to stagger its lease maturity schedule so that it is not faced with a disproportionately large level of 

lease maturities in a given year . For Allied’s current lease maturity schedule, refer to page 53 . Allied also 

seeks to mitigate this risk by diversifying its user-mix and managing its exposure to its top-10 users and 

by engaging in proactive user communication to manage lease renewal and replacement activity well in 

advance of lease expiries . For Allied’s current user profile schedule, refer to page 51 . 

In evaluating lease roll-over risk, it is informative to determine Allied’s sensitivity to a decline in occupancy . 

As at December 31, 2023, Allied had total GLA in the rental portfolio of 14,954,282 square feet, of which 

87 .3% is leased . The weighted average annual rental revenue is approximately $43 .87 per square foot, 

therefore for every full-year decline of 100 basis points in occupancy, Allied’s annual rental revenue would 

decline by approximately $5,724 . The decline in rental revenue would be more pronounced if the decline in 

occupancy involved space leased above the average rental rate per square foot and less pronounced if the 

decline in occupancy involved space leased below the average rental rate per square foot . 

DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION RISK

As an owner of Properties Under Development, Allied is subject to development risks, such as risks 

associated with the pricing and availability of labour and materials, construction delays, cost over-runs, 

challenges in securing municipal approvals and potential delays in occupancy and/or rent commencement . 

In connection with all Properties Under Development, Allied incurs development costs prior to (and in 

anticipation of ) achieving a stabilized level of rental revenue . Allied manages these risks through fixed-

price contracts, where possible, by commencing municipal approval processes at an early stage and by not 

commencing construction until a satisfactory level of pre-leasing is achieved for ground-up developments . 

Overall, these risks are managed through Allied’s Declaration of Trust, which states that the cost of 

development cannot exceed 15% of GBV .

99

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTUSER TERMINATIONS AND FINANCIAL STABILITY

Allied’s distributable income would be adversely affected if a significant number of users were to become 

unable to meet their obligations under their leases resulting in early termination and a significant amount of 

available space in its properties were not able to be re-leased on economically favourable lease terms . Upon 

the termination of any lease, there can be no assurance that the user will be replaced . The terms of any 

subsequent lease may be less favourable to Allied than the existing lease . In the event of default by a user, 

delays or limitations in enforcing rights as lessor may be experienced and substantial costs in protecting 

Allied’s investment may be incurred . Furthermore, at any time, a user of any of Allied’s properties may seek 

the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws that could result in the rejection and termination 

of such user’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in the cash flow available to Allied . Allied conducts due 

diligence on the quality and financial viability of users and seeks to obtain large security deposits when 

warranted . The ability to rent unleased space in the properties in which Allied will have an interest will be 

affected by many factors . Costs may be incurred in making improvements or repairs to property required 

by a new user . The failure to lease space on a timely basis or at all would likely have an adverse effect on 

Allied’s financial condition .

COMPETITION

The real estate business is competitive . Numerous other developers, managers and owners of office 

properties compete with Allied in seeking users . Some of the properties of Allied’s competitors are better 

located or less levered than Allied’s properties and any property in which Allied subsequently acquires an 

interest . Some of Allied’s competitors are better capitalized and stronger financially and hence better able 

to withstand an economic downturn . The existence of competing developers and owners and competition 

for Allied’s users could have an adverse effect on Allied’s ability to lease space in its properties and on the 

rents charged or concessions granted, and could adversely affect Allied’s revenues and its ability to meet its 

debt obligations . An increase in the availability of investment funds and an increase in interest in immovable 

property investments may tend to increase competition for immovable property investments, thereby 

increasing purchase prices and reducing the yield on them . Competition for acquisitions of real properties 

is intense, and some competitors may have the ability or inclination to acquire properties at a higher price 

or on terms less favourable than those that Allied is prepared to accept . Allied mitigates these risks through 

the strategic positioning of its portfolio in amenity-rich urban areas of Canada’s major cities, its focus on 

operations and targeted broker outreach . 

100

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTREAL ESTATE RISK

Allied is subject to the conventional risks associated with the ownership of real estate .

Certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, 

insurance costs and related charges must be made by Allied throughout the period of its ownership of 

the properties regardless of whether the property is producing sufficient income to cover such expenses . 

In order to provide desirable rentable space over the long term, Allied must maintain or, in some cases, 

improve each property’s condition to meet market demand . Maintaining and improving a rental property 

can entail significant costs that Allied may not be able to pass on to users . 

Real property investments tend to be relatively illiquid, with the degree of liquidity generally fluctuating in 

relation to demand for and the perceived desirability of such investments . Such illiquidity may tend to limit 

Allied’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions . If 

Allied were to dispose of real property investments, the proceeds to Allied might be significantly less than 

the aggregate carrying value of its properties .

Allied strives to mitigate these risks through a robust preventative maintenance program, contractual rent 

escalation mechanisms and by focusing intently on execution .

JOINT ARRANGEMENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS

Allied has entered into various joint arrangements and partnerships with different entities . If these joint 

arrangements or partnerships do not perform as expected or default on financial obligations, Allied has 

an associated risk . Allied reduces this risk by seeking to negotiate contractual rights upon default, to enter 

into agreements with financially stable partners and to work with partners who have a successful record of 

completing development projects .

Allied may own less than a controlling interest, may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making 

authority regarding the properties owned through joint arrangements and may not fully manage those 

properties . Investments in joint arrangements may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not 

present when a third party is not involved, including: (i) counter-party risk; (ii) the possibility that joint 

arrangement partners may have business interests or goals that are inconsistent with Allied’s business 

interests or goals; and (iii) the need to obtain the joint arrangement partner’s consent with respect to 

certain major decisions relating to these assets, such as decisions relating to the sale of the assets, timing 

and amount of distributions of cash from such properties to Allied and its joint arrangement partners, and 

capital expenditures . In addition, the sale or transfer of interests in certain of the joint arrangements and 

partnerships may be subject to rights of first refusal and certain of the joint arrangement agreements may 

provide for buy-sell, put or similar arrangements .

101

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTRELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

The management of Allied depends on the services of certain key personnel, particularly its Chief Executive 

Officer, Cecilia Williams, and its Chief Financial Officer, Nanthini Mahalingam . The unexpected loss of 

services from key personnel or a limitation in their availability could have an adverse effect on the business, 

financial condition and results of operations of Allied, specifically if there is not adequate succession 

plans in place for these personnel . Allied’s ability to retain its senior management team or attract suitable 

replacements in the event of a departure is dependent on, among other things, the competitive nature of the 

employment market . Allied engages in ongoing succession planning for its key personnel and other senior 

management and periodically conducts broader reviews of its management structure and succession plans . 

Allied does not have key-personnel insurance on any of its key employees .

UNEXPECTED COSTS OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS

A risk associated with acquisitions is that there may be an undisclosed or unknown liability relating to 

the acquired property, and Allied may not be indemnified for some or all of these liabilities . Following an 

acquisition, Allied may discover that it has acquired undisclosed liabilities, which may be material . The due 

diligence procedures performed by Management are designed to address this risk . Allied performs what it 

believes to be an appropriate level of investigation in connection with its acquisition of properties and seeks 

through contract to ensure that risks lie with the appropriate party .

FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

FINANCING AND INTEREST RATE RISK; ACCESS TO CAPITAL

Allied is subject to risk associated with debt financing . Allied’s financing may include indebtedness with 

interest rates based on variable lending rates that will result in fluctuations in Allied’s cost of borrowing . 

The availability of debt to re-finance existing and maturing loans and the cost of servicing such debt will 

influence Allied’s success . In order to minimize risk associated with debt financing, Allied strives to re-

finance maturing loans with long-term fixed-rate debt and to stagger the maturities over time . For Allied’s 

current debt-maturity schedule, refer to page 78 .

Interest rates on debt for mortgages payable, unsecured debentures and unsecured term loans are between 

1 .73% and 4 .87% with a weighted average contractual interest rate of 3 .17% . The weighted average term of 

our debt (excluding construction loans and the Unsecured Facility) is 4 .1 years . Refer to note 12(b) and (d) of 

the audited consolidated financial statements for further details .

Allied is additionally subject to risk associated with equity financing . The ability to access the equity capital 

markets at appropriate points in time and at an acceptable cost will influence Allied’s success . In order to 

minimize the risk associated with equity financing, Allied engages in extensive investor relations activity 

with retail and institutional investors globally and strives to fix the cost of equity in conjunction with a clear 

use of proceeds .

102

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTThe real estate industry is highly capital intensive . Allied will require access to capital to maintain its 

properties, to complete development and intensification projects, as well as to fund its growth strategy and 

significant capital expenditures from time to time . There is no assurance that capital will be available when 

needed or on favourable terms . Allied’s access to capital and cost of capital will be subject to a number of 

factors, including general market conditions; the market’s perception of Allied’s growth potential; Allied’s 

current and expected future earnings; Allied’s cash flow and cash distributions; and the market price of 

Allied’s Units . If Allied is unable to obtain sources of capital, it may not be able to acquire or develop assets, 

or pursue the development or intensification of properties when strategic opportunities arise .

AVAILABILITY OF CASH FLOW AND DISTRIBUTIONS

There can be no assurance that Allied will maintain or increase its distribution levels in the future . 

Distributions are made at the discretion of the Trustees based on many factors, including provisions of the 

Declaration of Trust, macroeconomic and industry specific environments, the overall financial condition of 

Allied, future capital requirements, debt covenants, and taxable income . Distributable income may exceed 

actual cash available to Allied from time to time because of items such as principal repayments of debt, user 

inducements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures, if any . Allied may be required to use part of its 

debt capacity or reduce distributions in order to accommodate such items . The market value of the Units 

may be negatively impacted if Allied is unable to maintain its distribution levels in the future .

CREDIT RISK

Allied is subject to credit risk arising from the possibility that users may not be able to fulfill their lease 

obligations . Allied strives to mitigate this risk by maintaining a diversified user-mix and limiting exposure to 

any single user . Allied’s exposure to top-10 users is 19 .1% of rental revenue and the credit quality of our top-

10 users continues to improve .

As Allied has provided loans and advances to facilitate property development, further credit risks arise 

in the event that borrowers default on the repayment of the amounts owed to Allied . Allied’s loans and 

advances will typically be subordinate to prior ranking mortgage or charges . As at December 31, 2023, Allied 

had $509,697 in loans receivable, the majority of which is loaned to affiliates of a single private company . 

In the event of a large commercial real estate market correction, the fair market value of an underlying 

property may be unable to support the loan value . Allied mitigates this risk by obtaining corporate 

guarantees and/or registered mortgage charges and assignment of leases, performing credit checks on 

potential borrowers, monitoring the financial and operating performance of borrowers, construction 

and leasing status on the development projects, timing of rent commencement on leases, and status of 

scheduled principal and interest payments .

103

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTUNIT PRICE RISK

Unit price risk arises from the unit-based compensation liabilities and Exchangeable LP Units which 

are recorded at fair value at each quarter-end date . Allied’s unit-based compensation liabilities and 

Exchangeable LP Units negatively impact net income and comprehensive income when the Unit price rises 

and positively impact net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income when the Unit price declines . 

POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF UNIT PRICES

Allied is an unincorporated trust and its Units are listed on the TSX . A publicly-traded real estate investment 

trust will not necessarily trade at values determined solely by reference to the underlying value of its real 

estate assets . The prices at which the Units will trade cannot be predicted and could be subject to significant 

fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, distributions, and other factors beyond 

the control of Allied such as changes or uncertainty regarding global economic conditions, including but 

not limited to those caused by the occurrence of a natural disaster, a public health emergency or other 

force majeure event . The annual yield on the Units as compared to the annual yield on other financial 

instruments may also influence the price of the Units in the public trading markets . In addition, securities 

markets may experience significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time that are unrelated or 

disproportionate to the operating performance of particular issuers . These broad fluctuations may adversely 

affect the market price of the Units .

DILUTION

Allied may, in its sole discretion, issue additional Units, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Units, 

from time to time, and the voting power and/or economic interest of Unitholders may be diluted thereby . 

Allied cannot predict the size or nature of future sales or issuances of securities, or the effect, if any, that 

such future sales and issuances will have on the market price of the Units . 

104

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTOTHER RISKS

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Allied may be affected by changes in general economic conditions (such as inflation and the availability 

and cost of credit), local real estate markets (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for 

real estate in the area), government regulations, competition from other available premises, including new 

developments, and various other factors . Property valuations may be impacted by inflation and interest rate 

risk . The global economy may face increasing uncertainty due to acts of nature, including an outbreak of a 

pandemic or other health crisis, trade protectionism and disruptions, disputes and political events around 

the world, which could potentially impact Canadian trade and the Canadian economy at large . This could 

have an impact on the markets in which Allied operates and in turn could have an adverse effect on Allied .

CYBERSECURITY RISK

The efficient operation of Allied’s business is dependent on computer hardware and software systems . 

Information systems are vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents . A cybersecurity incident is considered to be 

any material adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of Allied’s information 

resources . A cybersecurity incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event including, but not 

limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data or information systems, and 

other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems, unauthorized release 

of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data . Allied’s primary risks that 

could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to 

its reputation, damage to its business relationships with users, the disclosure of confidential information 

including personally identifiable information, potential liability to third parties, loss of revenue, additional 

regulatory scrutiny and fines, as well as litigation and other costs and expenses . Allied undertakes regular 

internal and external assessments of its information security posture, including annual third-party 

penetration testing and ongoing third-party assessment of Allied’s information technology footprint . 

Allied has adopted ISO 27001:2013 as a guiding framework for its portfolio . For information stored with or 

processed by third parties, Allied undertakes due diligence prior to working with them and uses contractual 

means to ensure compliance to standards set by Allied . Allied’s employees complete information security 

training every four months and an external Information Technology General Controls audit is completed 

annually . Additionally, Allied monitors and assesses risks surrounding collection, usage, storage, protection, 

and retention/destruction practices of personal data . Allied also maintains information security risk 

insurance coverage . Since inception, Allied has not experienced an unauthorized intrusion or infiltration of 

its systems that has resulted in a data breach . These measures, as well as Allied’s increased awareness of a 

risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that its financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an 

incident .

105

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTTAXATION RISK AND CHANGES IN LEGISLATION

Allied is a mutual fund trust as defined in the Tax Act . The Tax Act contains restrictions relating to the 

activities and the investments permitted by a mutual fund trust and, if Allied failed to adhere to these 

restrictions, adverse tax consequences would arise .

On June 22, 2007, specified investment flow through trusts or partnerships (“SIFT”) rules were introduced 

and changed the manner in which certain trusts are taxed . Certain distributions from a SIFT would not 

be deductible in computing the SIFT’s taxable income and therefore the distributions would be subject 

to trust entity level tax, at the general tax rate applicable to Canadian corporations . Trusts that meet the 

REIT exemption are not subject to SIFT rules . The determination as to whether Allied qualifies for the REIT 

exemption in a particular taxation year can only be made with certainty at the end of that taxation year . 

Asset tests need to be met at all times in the taxation year and revenue tests need to be met for the taxation 

year . While there is uncertainty surrounding the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the REIT 

exemption and application of SIFT rules, Allied expects that it will qualify for the REIT exemption .

In the event that the SIFT rules apply to Allied, the impact to Unitholders will depend on the status of 

the holder and, in part, on the amount of income distributed which would not be deductible by Allied 

in computing its income in a particular year and what portions of Allied’s distributions constitute “non-

portfolio earnings”, other income and return of capital . 

There can be no assurance that income tax laws (or the judicial interpretation thereof or the administrative 

and/or assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency) and/or the treatment of mutual fund trusts will 

not be changed in a manner which adversely affects Unitholders . Allied will endeavour to ensure that the 

Units continue to be qualified investments for registered retirement savings plans, deferred profit sharing 

plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings 

plans and tax-free savings accounts . Units will cease to be qualified investments for registered retirement 

savings plans, deferred profit sharing plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education 

savings plans, registered disability savings plans and tax-free savings accounts if the Units were no longer 

listed on a stock exchange that, for the purposes of the Tax Act, is a designated stock exchange (which 

includes the TSX) and Allied no longer qualified as a mutual fund trust or as a registered investment . The 

Tax Act imposes penalties for the acquisition or holding of non-qualified investments .

106

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE RISK

As an owner of real estate, Allied is subject to various federal, provincial and municipal laws relating 

to environmental matters . Allied will make the necessary capital and operating expenditures to ensure 

compliance with environmental laws and regulations . 

Such laws provide that Allied could be liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances, 

remediation of certain hazardous locations or other environmental impacts . The failure to remove or 

remediate such substances, locations or environmental impacts, if any, could adversely affect Allied’s 

ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral and could potentially also 

result in claims against Allied . Allied is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws 

at any of the properties . Allied is also not aware of any pending or threatened investigations or actions by 

environmental regulatory authorities in connection with any of the properties or any pending or threatened 

claims relating to environmental conditions at the properties .

Climate change could pose significant environmental, social and business risks . If environmental laws and 

regulations change, Allied could be subject to more stringent environmental laws and regulations in the 

future . Compliance with more stringent environmental laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on 

Allied’s business, financial condition or results of operation . It is Allied’s operating policy to obtain a Phase 

I environmental assessment conducted by an independent and experienced environmental consultant 

prior to acquiring a property . Phase I environmental assessments have been performed in respect of all 

properties . Allied is committed to evaluating potential impacts to its business on an ongoing basis and to 

making investments to mitigate potential identified impacts .

Physical risks from climate change that may result in damage to Allied’s properties may include natural 

disasters and severe weather, such as floods and rising temperatures . The extent of Allied’s casualty losses 

and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and 

the total amount of exposure in the affected area . Allied is also exposed to risks associated with inclement 

winter weather, including increased need for maintenance and repair of its buildings . In addition, the 

physical impacts from climate change, including changing weather patterns, could have effects on Allied’s 

business by increasing the cost of property insurance, and/or energy at its properties . As a result, the 

consequences of natural disasters, severe weather and climate change could increase Allied’s costs and 

reduce Allied’s cash flow . Allied is evaluating all of its assets to understand how the physical risks from 

climate change could impact the portfolio and is taking a proactive and precautionary approach to mitigate 

potential impacts .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTGENERAL UNINSURED LOSSES

Allied carries comprehensive general liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with 

policy specifications, limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties . There are, however, 

certain types of risks, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as wars or environmental contamination, 

which are either uninsurable or not insurable on an economically viable basis . Allied will have insurance 

for earthquake risks, subject to certain policy limits, deductibles and self-insurance arrangements, and will 

continue to carry such insurance if it is economical to do so . Should an uninsured or underinsured loss 

occur, Allied could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, one or more of its 

properties, but Allied would continue to be obliged to repay any recourse mortgage indebtedness on such 

properties .

PANDEMICS AND OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH CRISES

Pandemics and other public health crises can result in significant economic disruptions, slowdowns and 

increased volatility in financial markets, which could have adverse consequences on Allied including, 

but not limited to, business continuity interruptions, disruptions and costs of development activities, 

unfavorable market conditions, and threats to the health and safety of employees . Such occurrences could 

also potentially affect the market price for the equity securities of Allied, its current credit rating, total 

return and distributions . Allied’s users may also face business challenges as a result of a pandemic or other 

public health crisis that may adversely affect their business and their ability to pay rent in full, on a timely 

basis or at all . Such events could materially adversely affect Allied’s operations, reputation and financial 

condition, including the fair value of Allied’s properties . 

108

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTABSENCE OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Unitholders do not have all of the statutory rights normally associated with ownership of shares of a 

company . On May 12, 2016, Allied amended the Declaration of Trust to include certain rights, remedies 

and procedures in favour of Unitholders consistent, to the extent possible, with those available to 

shareholders of a corporation pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act, as further described in 

Allied’s Management Information Circular dated April 11, 2016 . The rights granted in the Declaration of 

Trust are granted as contractual rights afforded to Unitholders (rather than as statutory rights) . Similar to 

other existing rights contained in Allied’s Declaration of Trust (i .e ., the take-over bid provisions and conflict 

of interest provisions), making these rights and remedies and certain procedures available by contract is 

structurally different from the manner in which the equivalent rights and remedies or procedures (including 

the procedure for enforcing such remedies) are made available to shareholders of a corporation, who 

benefit from those rights and remedies or procedures by the corporate statute that governs the corporation, 

such as the Canada Business Corporations Act . As such, there is no certainty how these rights, remedies or 

procedures may be treated by the courts in the non-corporate context or that a Unitholder will be able to 

enforce the rights and remedies in the manner contemplated by the amendments . Furthermore, how the 

courts will treat these rights, remedies and procedures will be in the discretion of the court, and the courts 

may choose to not accept jurisdiction to consider any claim contemplated in the provisions .

The Units are not “deposits” within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act and are not 

insured under the provisions of that Act or any other legislation . Furthermore, Allied is not a trust company 

and, accordingly, it is not registered under any trust and loan company legislation as it does not carry on or 

intend to carry on the business of a trust company .

UNITHOLDER LIABILITY

On December 16, 2004, the Province of Ontario proclaimed the Trust Beneficiaries Liability Act (Ontario) 

in force . This legislation provides that beneficiaries of Ontario based income trusts are not liable, as 

beneficiaries, for any act, default, obligation or liability of the income trust . Unitholders of Allied will have 

the benefit of this legislation with respect to liabilities arising on or after December 16, 2004 . This legislation 

has not been subject to interpretation by courts in the Province of Ontario or elsewhere .

121

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTManagement’s Statement of 
Responsibility for Financial 
Reporting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis of results 

of operations and financial condition and the annual report are the responsibility of the Management of 

Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Allied”) . The consolidated financial statements have been 

prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and where appropriate, include 

amounts which are based on judgments, estimates and assumptions of Management .

Management has developed and maintains a system of accounting and reporting which provides for the 

necessary internal controls to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded, assets are 

safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition, and liabilities are recognized .

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for ensuring that Management fulfills its responsibility 

for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated 

financial statements . The Board carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee 

(the “Committee”), which is comprised entirely of independent trustees . The Committee reviews the 

consolidated financial statements with both Management and the independent auditors . The Committee 

reports its findings to the Board, which approves the consolidated financial statements before they are 

submitted to the Unitholders of Allied .

Deloitte LLP (the “Auditors”), the independent auditors of Allied, have audited the consolidated financial 

statements of Allied in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards to enable them to 

express to the Unitholders their opinion on the consolidated financial statements . The Auditors have direct 

and full access to, and meet periodically with the Committee, both with and without Management present .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTIndependent Auditor’s Report

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF   

ALLIED PROPERTIES REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust 

(the “Trust”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the 

consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income, equity, and cash flows for the 

years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy 

information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) .

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 

position of the Trust as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for 

the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) .

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards  

(“Canadian GAAS”) . Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 

Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report . We are independent of the 

Trust in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 

in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements . 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 

opinion . 

KEY AUDIT MATTER

A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the 

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 . This matter was addressed in the 

context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, 

and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter . 

123

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTFAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES—  

REFER TO NOTES 2(D), 3, AND 5 OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

KEY AUDIT MATTER DESCRIPTION

Investment properties are accounted for using the fair value model . The Trust predominantly uses the 

discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate fair value and uses the comparable sales method primarily 

for properties under development . The critical assumptions relating to the Trust’s estimates of fair values 

of investment properties include discount rates, terminal capitalization rates, and anticipated cash flow 

assumptions relating to occupancy and rental rates . 

While there are several assumptions that are required to determine the fair value of all investment 

properties using the DCF method, the critical assumptions with the highest degree of subjectivity and 

impact on fair values are the anticipated rental rates, discount rates, and terminal capitalization rates . 

Auditing these critical assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment as the estimations made by 

management contain significant measurement uncertainty . This resulted in an increased extent of audit 

effort, including the need to involve fair value specialists . 

HOW THE KEY AUDIT MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Our audit procedures related to the anticipated rental rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates 

used to determine the fair value of the investment properties included the following, among others: 

—  Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over determining investment properties’ fair value, including 

those over the determination of the anticipated rental rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization 

rates .

—  Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecast of anticipated rental rates by comparing 

management’s forecasts with historical results, internal communications to management and the Board 

of Trustees, and contractual information, where applicable .

—  With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecast of 

anticipated rental rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates by considering recent market 

transactions and industry surveys .

OTHER INFORMATION

Management is responsible for the other information . The other information comprises: 

—  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

—  The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual 

Report .

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not 

express any form of assurance conclusion thereon . In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 

our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the 

other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 

audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated . 

124

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTWe obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and  

the Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report . If, based on the work we have performed on 

this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 

required to report that fact in this auditor’s report . We have nothing to report in this regard . 

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in 

accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the 

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error . 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Trust’s ability to continue 

as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern 

basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Trust or to cease operations, or has 

no realistic alternative but to do so . 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Trust’s financial reporting process . 

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free 

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 

opinion . Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted 

in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists . Misstatements 

can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could 

reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial 

statements . 

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 

professional skepticism throughout the audit . We also: 

— 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud 

or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 

that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion . The risk of not detecting a material 

misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control .

—  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 

that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 

effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control .

—  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by management .

125

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT—  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 

based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern . If we 

conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report 

to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify 

our opinion . Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 

report . However, future events or conditions may cause the Trust to cease to continue as a going 

concern .

—  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a 

manner that achieves fair presentation .

—  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 

or business activities within the Trust to express an opinion on the financial statements . We are 

responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit . We remain solely 

responsible for our audit opinion .

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope 

and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal 

control that we identify during our audit . 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant 

ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 

matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 

safeguards . 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that 

were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are 

therefore the key audit matters . We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation 

precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that 

a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would 

reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication .

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Antonio Ciciretto .

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022  

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit and unit amounts)

1 .  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“Allied”) is a Canadian unincorporated open-end real 

estate investment trust created pursuant to the Declaration of Trust dated October 25, 2002, as most 

recently amended June 12, 2023 . Allied is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and began 

operations on February 19, 2003 . The units of Allied (“Units”) are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange 

(“TSX”) and are traded under the symbol “AP .UN” .

The subsidiaries of Allied include Allied Properties Management Trust, Allied Properties Management 

Limited Partnership, Allied Properties Management GP Limited, Allied Properties Exchangeable Limited 

Partnership (the “Partnership”), and Allied Properties Exchangeable GP Inc . (the “General Partner”) . 

On March 31, 2022, Allied acquired a portfolio of six properties from Choice Properties Real Estate 

Investment Trust (“Choice Properties”), which was partially settled with the issuance of 11,809,145 

class B exchangeable limited partnership units of the Partnership (“Exchangeable LP Units”) . Allied 

owns 100% of the shares of the General Partner and 100% of the class A LP Units of the Partnership 

(the “Class A Units”) . 

On June 12, 2023, Allied completed its conversion from a “closed-end” trust to an “open-end” trust .

Allied is domiciled in Ontario, Canada . The address of Allied’s registered office and its principal place  

of business is 134 Peter Street, Suite 1700, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2H2 .

2 .  MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars . 

(a)  Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Allied for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 

are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by 

the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) . The policies set out below were consistently 

applied to all the years presented unless otherwise noted .

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical 

accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported . Allied’s basis for 

applying judgments, estimates and assumptions to its accounting policies are described in note 2 and 

3 below .

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were approved 

and authorized for issue by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on January 31, 2024 .

132

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT(b)  Basis of presentation 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the 

following items that were measured at fair value:

— 

— 

investment properties as described in note 2 (d) and note 5;

investment properties held for sale and lease liability held for sale as described in note 2 (s);

—  Exchangeable LP Units which are exchangeable for Units at the option of the holder as described in 

note 17;

— 

interest rate swaps as described in note 2 (i); and

—  unit-based compensation liabilities as described in note 18 (c) .

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is Allied’s functional 

currency, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated .

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires Allied to make estimates and 

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 

statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses . Actual outcomes could differ from these 

estimates . These consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are 

uncertain . The impact of such estimates is pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, 

and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences . Revisions to accounting 

estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both 

current and future periods . Significant estimates and assumptions include the fair values assigned to 

investment properties and investment properties held for sale, interest rate derivative contracts, unit-

based compensation liabilities, and allowances for expected credit losses .

(c)  Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Allied and its subsidiaries .

Subsidiaries are all entities over which Allied has control, where control is defined as the power to 

direct the relevant activities of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities . Control exists when a 

parent company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from the subsidiaries and has the ability 

to affect those returns through its power .

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is transferred to Allied, and are de-consolidated 

from the date control ceases . Intercompany transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated on 

consolidation . Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 

consistency with the policies adopted by Allied . All subsidiaries have a reporting date of December 31 .

(d)  Investment properties

At the time of acquisition of a property, Allied applies judgment when determining if the acquisition is 

an asset acquisition or a business combination .

Allied classifies its acquisitions as asset acquisitions when it acquires a property or a portfolio of 

properties and it has not acquired an operating platform .

133

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTInvestment properties include rental properties and properties under development that are owned by 

Allied, or leased by Allied as a lessee, to earn rental revenue and/or for capital appreciation . Investment 

properties are accounted for using the fair value model . Rental income and operating expenses from 

investment properties are reported within ‘total revenue’ and ‘total operating expenses’ respectively .

Where Allied has completed an acquisition of an asset, Allied uses the asset purchase model whereby 

the initial cost of an investment property is comprised of its purchase price and any directly attributable 

expenditures . Directly attributable expenditures include transaction costs such as due diligence costs, 

appraisal fees, environmental fees, legal fees, land transfer taxes, and brokerage fees .

At the time of the disposition of a property, Allied recognizes any directly attributable expenditures 

that are non-reimbursable as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and 

Comprehensive (Loss) Income . Directly attributable expenditures include transaction costs such as due 

diligence costs, appraisal fees, environmental fees, legal fees, and brokerage fees . 

Investment properties are externally appraised quarterly and are reported in the Consolidated Balance 

Sheets at their fair values . Allied’s determination of fair value is supported by valuations prepared by a 

nationally recognized and qualified third-party professional appraiser with sufficient experience with 

respect to both the geographic location and the nature of the investment property and supported by 

market evidence . Any gain or loss resulting from a change in the fair value of an investment property 

is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive 

(Loss) Income . The fair value of each investment property is based upon, among other things, rental 

income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market 

conditions at the balance sheet date, less future estimated non-recoverable capital cash outflows in 

respect of such properties .

The independent professional appraiser engaged by Allied predominantly uses the discounted cash flow 

method to determine fair value, whereby the income and expenses are projected over the anticipated 

term of the investment and combined with a terminal value, all of which is discounted using an 

appropriate discount rate . Properties under development are measured using both a comparable sales 

method and a discounted cash flow method, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date . For 

further details on methods used, refer to note 5 . Valuations of investment properties are most sensitive 

to changes in discount rates and capitalization rates .

Allied has applied judgment based on the costs incurred to enhance the service potential of the 

property in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of investment 

properties or will be expensed .

Allied has applied judgment when reporting its properties under development . The cost of properties 

under development includes the acquisition cost of the property, direct development costs, operating 

costs, realty taxes and borrowing costs attributable to the development . See 2 (g) below for further 

information regarding Allied’s accounting for borrowing costs .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT(e)  Joint arrangements

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending 

on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor . Joint control is the contractually agreed 

sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities 

require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control .

Joint operation

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the 

assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement . A joint operation usually results 

from direct interests in the assets and liabilities of an investee . None of the parties involved have 

unilateral control of a joint operation . Allied accounts for its joint arrangements as joint operations 

wherein it records its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operations .

Joint venture

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the net 

assets relating to the arrangement, and usually results from the establishment of a separate legal entity . 

Allied accounts for its joint ventures using the equity method . The share of results of earnings (loss) of 

the joint venture is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) 

Income .

Under the equity method, an investment in a joint venture is recognized initially in the Consolidated 

Balance Sheets at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize Allied’s share of the profit or loss and other 

comprehensive income of the joint venture in accordance with Allied’s accounting policies . When 

Allied’s share of losses of a joint venture exceeds Allied’s interest in that joint venture (which includes 

any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of Allied’s net investment in the joint venture), 

Allied continues recognizing its share of further losses to the extent that Allied has incurred legal or 

constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture .

When Allied transacts with a joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the 

joint venture are recognized in Allied’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests 

in the joint venture that are not related to Allied .

(f )  Revenue recognition

Allied has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties 

and as such accounts for its leases with tenants as operating leases .

Revenue includes rents from tenants under leases, property tax and operating cost recoveries, 

percentage participation rents, lease cancellation fees, parking income and other income . Rents from 

tenants may include free rent periods and rental increases over the term of the lease and are recognized 

in revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease . Typically, in ground-up developments, 

when there are fixturing periods outside of the term of the lease, revenue is not recognized during  

these fixturing periods . The difference between revenue recognized and the cash received is included  

in investment properties as straight-line rent receivable .

135

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTLease incentives provided to tenants (referred to as tenant improvements) are deferred and amortized 

on a straight-line basis against revenue over the term of the lease . Recoveries from tenants are 

recognized as revenue in the period in which the applicable costs are incurred . Percentage participation 

rents are recognized after the minimum sales level has been achieved with each lease, where applicable . 

Lease cancellation fees are recognized as revenue once an agreement is completed with the tenant 

to terminate the lease and the collectability is reasonably assured . Other income is recognized upon 

provision of goods or services when collectability is reasonably assured .

Contracts with customers for residential condominium units generally include one distinct performance 

obligation . Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract, and is recognized at 

the point in time in which control over the property has been transferred . Customer deposits received 

are held in trust and restricted for use .

(g)  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquiring or constructing a qualifying investment property 

are capitalized . Capitalization commences when the activities necessary to prepare an asset for 

development or redevelopment begin, and ceases once the asset is substantially complete, or is 

suspended if the development of the asset is suspended . The amount of borrowing costs capitalized 

is determined first by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant, and otherwise 

by applying a weighted average cost of borrowings to eligible expenditures after adjusting for 

borrowings associated with other specific developments . Where borrowings are associated with 

specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross costs incurred on those borrowings . The 

capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development 

activity is interrupted .

(h)  Other assets

Computer and office equipment and owner occupied property are included in other assets and are 

stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses . Cost includes 

expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset .

For the assets that are amortized, Allied records amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the 

assets’ estimated useful life . This is generally three to seven years for computer and office equipment, 

and will vary for owner occupied property depending on the property . The assets’ residual values and 

useful lives are reviewed annually or if expectations differ from previous estimates, and adjusted if 

appropriate .

When events and circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired, the carrying amount is written 

down immediately to its recoverable amount (defined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to 

sell and its value in use) .

136

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT(i)  Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks and short-term deposits with 

maturities of six months or less .

Mortgages payable consists of the legal liabilities owing pursuant to loans secured by mortgages and 

premiums and discounts recognized on loans assumed on acquisition of properties, netted against 

the transaction costs, and the effective interest method of amortization is applied to the premiums, 

discounts and transaction costs .

The following table describes Allied’s classification and measurement of its financial assets and 

liabilities:

ASSET/LIABILITY

Loans and notes receivable

Cash and cash equivalents

Accounts receivable

Exchangeable LP Units

Debt

Accounts payable and other liabilities

Interest rate swaps

CLASSIFICATION/MEASUREMENT

Amortized cost

Amortized cost

Amortized cost

Fair value

Amortized cost

Amortized cost

Fair value

Allied designated its accounts receivable, loans and notes receivable, and cash and cash equivalents as 

loans and receivables; its debt and accounts payable and other liabilities as other financial liabilities . All 

derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are classified at fair value through profit or loss and are 

recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value .

At the end of each reporting period, Allied will reassess categorization between levels in the hierarchy 

to determine whether transfers have occurred . The reassessment is based on the lowest level input that 

is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety .

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss . Financial assets are 

initially measured at fair value . Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or 

issuance of financial assets, with the exception of those classified as at fair value through profit or loss, 

are accounted for as part of the respective asset’s carrying value at inception and amortized over the 

expected life of the financial instrument using the effective interest method . Transaction costs directly 

attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or 

loss are recognized immediately in net income .

137

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTImpairment of financial assets

Allied assesses, on a continual basis, whether a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost is 

impaired under an expected credit loss (“ECL”) model . For user trade receivables within the scope of 

IFRS 16, Allied applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime 

losses to be recognized under the initial recognition of its receivables . To measure the expected credit 

losses for its accounts receivable, Allied established a provision matrix, that applies loss factors to 

contractual payments by aging categories, and incorporates forward-looking factors that are specific to 

the tenant, historical credit loss experience, and the economic environment, where applicable . 

For loans and notes receivable, Allied applies an ECL approach as required under IFRS 9, which reflects 

the present value of all cash shortfalls related to default events either (i) over the following twelve 

months or (ii) over the expected life of a financial instrument depending on the credit deterioration 

from inception . The ECL reflects an unbiased, probability-weighted outcome which considers multiple 

scenarios based on reasonable and supportable forecasts . Allied assesses whether there has been 

a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of a financial instrument and its ECL 

measurement at each reporting date . Increases or decreases in the ECL are recognized as impairment 

gains or losses within interest (expense) income in net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) . 

Allied’s financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented net of the ECL in the Consolidated 

Balance Sheets .

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified and measured as disclosed in the table above . Financial liabilities are 

initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the 

instrument and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for 

financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss, that are carried 

subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss . 

Allied measures its Exchangeable LP Units at fair value through profit or loss (note 2(l)) .

Allied measures its debt, finance lease obligations, and accounts payable and other liabilities, at 

amortized cost using the effective interest method . All interest-related charges are reported in the 

Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and are included within 

‘Interest expense’, except for those interest-related charges capitalized to qualifying properties under 

development, rental properties or residential inventory .

From time to time, Allied uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks from fluctuations in 

interest rates . All derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives that must be separately 

accounted for, are valued at their respective fair values unless they are effective cash flow hedging 

instruments .

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, Allied assesses whether or not to designate the 

derivative as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (a “fair-value hedge”) or a 

hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability or  

a forecasted transaction (a “cash-flow hedge”) . Allied does not hold any fair-value or cash-flow hedges .

138

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAllied has entered into interest rate derivative contracts to limit its exposure to fluctuations in the 

interest rates on variable rate mortgages, unsecured term loans and construction loans . Gains or losses 

arising from the change in fair values of the interest rate derivative contracts are recognized in the 

Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income .

(j)  Unitholders’ equity

Unitholders’ equity includes all current and prior period retained income . Distributions payable to 

Unitholders are included in ‘Distributions payable on Units’ when the distributions have been approved 

and declared prior to the reporting date, but have yet to be paid .

(k)  Units

Units represent the initial value of Units that have been issued . Any transaction costs associated with the 

issuing of Units are deducted from Unit proceeds .

On the conversion of Allied to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, the Units of Allied are redeemable 

at the option of the holder in accordance with the Declaration of Trust, and, therefore, are considered 

puttable instruments in accordance with IAS 32, “Financial Instruments - Presentation” (“IAS 32”) . 

Puttable instruments are required to be accounted for as financial liabilities, except where certain 

conditions are met in accordance with IAS 32, in which case, the puttable instruments may be 

presented as equity .

The attributes of the Units meet the exemption conditions set out in IAS 32, and are, therefore, 

presented as equity in the consolidated financial statements .

(l)  Exchangeable Limited Partnership Units

The Exchangeable LP Units may, at the request of the holder, be exchanged on a one-for-one basis 

for Units of Allied . The Exchangeable LP Units are entitled to distributions from the Partnership in 

an amount equal to distributions declared by Allied on the Units . The Exchangeable LP Units provide 

the holder the indirect economic benefits and exposures to the underlying performance of Allied and 

accordingly to the variability of the distributions of Allied, whereas Allied’s unitholders have direct 

access to the economic benefits and exposures of Allied through direct ownership interest in Allied . 

Prior to Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust, the Exchangeable LP Units were presented within 

non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheets . In addition, net income and other 

comprehensive income was attributable to unitholders and to non-controlling interests, with the latter 

equivalent to the amount allocated to the Partnership for income tax purposes . On Allied’s conversion 

to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, the Exchangeable LP Units were reclassified to financial liabilities 

in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they can be exchanged for Units which are puttable instruments . 

Allied recognized in equity the difference between the carrying value of the equity instrument and the 

fair value of the financial liabilities at the date of reclassification . Subsequent to the conversion, at the 

end of each period, the Exchangeable LP Units are measured at fair value through profit or loss . The 

fair value of the Exchangeable LP Units is determined by using the quoted trading price of Units, as the 

Exchangeable LP Units are exchangeable into Units at the option of the holder . 

139

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTDistributions payable to holders of Exchangeable LP Units are included in ‘Accounts payable and other 

liabilities’ when the distributions have been approved and declared prior to the reporting date, but have 

yet to be paid . Prior to Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust, the distributions paid on Exchangeable 

LP Units were recognized as reductions to equity that is attributable to non-controlling interests . On 

Allied’s conversion to an open-end trust on June 12, 2023, the distributions paid on Exchangeable 

LP Units are recognized as interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and 

Comprehensive (Loss) Income .

(m)  Short-term employee benefits

Allied does not provide pension plan benefits . Short-term employee benefits are expensed as a period 

expense .

(n)  Unit-based compensation plans

Equity-settled unit-based payments to employees and trustees are measured at the fair value of the 

equity instruments at the grant date .

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled unit-based payments is expensed on 

a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled 

to equity instruments, based on Allied’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest . At 

the end of each reporting period, Allied revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments that 

are expected to vest . Allied utilizes the Black-Scholes Model for the valuation of unit options with no 

performance criteria, see note 18 for assumptions used .

Unit options granted under the Unit Option Plan and Restricted Units granted under the Restricted 

Unit Plan are subject to vesting conditions and disposition restrictions, in order to provide a long 

term compensation incentive . The Unit Options and Restricted Units are subject to forfeiture until the 

participant has held their position with Allied for a specified period of time . Full vesting of Restricted 

Units and Unit Options may not occur until the participant has remained employed by Allied for three 

and four years, respectively from the date of grant . Upon forfeiture of Unit Options and Restricted Units 

by an employee or trustee of Allied, the expense related to any unvested, forfeited Unit Options and 

Restricted Units recognized up to and including the date of the forfeiture is reversed .

(o)  Cash-settled unit-based compensation plans

Under the Performance and Restricted Trust Unit Plan (the “PTU/RTU Plan”), performance trust units 

and/or restricted trust units (together, “Plan Units”) are granted which entitle certain key employees 

to receive the fair value of the Plan Units in cash as a lump sum payment at the end of the applicable 

vesting period, which is usually three years in length . The PTU/RTU Plan provides for the accumulation 

of additional Plan Units in the form of distribution equivalents during the vesting period . 

140

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTThe Plan Units are recognized as an expense, on a straight-line basis over the period that the employees 

render service, in general and administrative expenses with a corresponding amount recorded to 

unit-based compensation liabilities . The unit-based compensation liabilities are measured based on 

the market value of the underlying units . During the periods in which the unit-based compensation 

liabilities are outstanding, the liabilities are adjusted for changes in the market value of the underlying 

units, with such positive or negative adjustments recognized in general and administrative expenses 

in the period in which they occur . For the performance trust units’ liabilities, performance market 

conditions are also considered and the performance trust unit liabilities are adjusted accordingly . Upon 

forfeiture of Plan Units by an employee, the liability representing the cumulative expense recognized to 

date is reversed with a corresponding reversal of expense .

(p)  Provisions

Provisions are recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past 

events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the 

amount can be reliably estimated . Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses . Allied does 

not have any provisions as of the date of this report .

(q)  Residential inventories

Residential inventories are assets that are developed by Allied for sale in the ordinary course of business 

and are recorded at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value . Impairment is reviewed at 

each reporting date, with any losses recognized in net income when the carrying value of the inventory 

exceeds its net realizable value . The net realizable value is defined as the entity-specific future selling 

price less estimated costs of completion and selling costs .

The cost of residential inventory includes any costs that are directly attributable to bring the projects 

to a state of active development, which includes borrowing costs . Borrowing costs related to residential 

inventories are accounted for under IAS 23, Borrowing Costs

(r)  Leases

Allied recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease obligation at the lease commencement date, 

in accordance with IFRS 16, Leases . Allied accounts for its ROU assets that do not meet the definition of 

investment property as fixed assets . The ROU asset is initially measured at cost and, subsequently, at 

cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the 

lease obligation . When a ROU asset meets the definition of investment property, it is initially measured 

at cost and subsequently measured at fair value (note 2(d)) . Land held as part of the operating leases 

(“Ground Leases”) which meets the definition of investment property is classified as ROU assets within 

investment properties . Management office leases and leases for equipment components embedded as 

part of service contracts which do not meet the definitions of investment property are recognized as 

ROU assets within other real estate assets .

Lease liability

Lease liability

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments at the commencement 

date, discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if that rate cannot be readily 

determined, at Allied’s incremental borrowing rate . The lease obligation is subsequently measured by 

increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and by reducing the carrying 

amount to reflect the lease payments made . The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in 

the future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in estimate of the amount 

expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee or, as appropriate, change in the assessment 

of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option 

is reasonably certain not to be exercised .

Allied has applied judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee 

that include renewal or termination options . The assessment of whether Allied is reasonably certain to 

exercise such options impacts the lease term which in turn, affects the amount of lease obligations and 

right-of-use assets recognized . Allied also applies judgment in determining the discount rate used to 

present value the lease obligations .

(s)  Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups are presented 

as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the asset or disposal group is available 

for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable . A sale is highly probable 

when management is committed to a plan to sell the asset, the non-current asset or disposal group is 

being actively marketed at a sale price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, the sale 

is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification, and it is unlikely there 

will be significant changes to the plan or that the plan will be withdrawn . Non-current assets and 

disposal groups held for sale that are not investment properties are recorded at the lower of carrying 

amount and fair value less costs to sell on the Consolidated Balance Sheets . Otherwise, the non-current 

assets and disposal groups held for sale are recorded at fair value . Any gain or loss arising from the 

change in measurement basis as a result of reclassification is recognized in net income at the time of 

reclassification . Investment properties that are held for sale are recorded at fair value determined in 

accordance with IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement” . 

142

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTWhen a component of an entity has been disposed of and it represents a separate major line of business 

or geographical area of operations, or is classified as held for sale and is part of a single coordinated 

plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, the related results of operations and 

gain or loss on reclassification or disposition are presented separately as discontinued operations on the 

Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income . The non-current assets 

and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups classified as held for sale are not 

revised in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for prior periods to reflect the classification for the latest 

period presented . However, the revenue, expenses, fair value gain or loss, and any other components 

making up the net income and comprehensive income of the discontinued operations are revised for 

the comparative period in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) 

Income .

(t)  Accounting standards effective in the year

In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial 

Statements”, IFRS Practice Statement 2, “Making Materiality Judgements” and IAS 8, “Accounting 

Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” . Allied has adopted these amendments effective 

January 1, 2023 . The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information 

rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarify how to distinguish changes in 

accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates . Allied’s financial disclosure is currently not 

materially affected by the application of the amendments . 

(u)  Accounting standards issued but not yet effective in the year

In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements” to 

clarify its requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position . The 

limited scope amendment affected only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial 

position and not the amount or timing of its recognition . The amendment clarified that the classification 

of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting 

period and specified that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will 

exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability . It also introduced a definition of ‘settlement’ to make 

clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets 

or services . On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments 

to IAS 1) . These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do 

not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date . The amendments 

are effective for January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted and the amendments are to be applied 

retrospectively . Allied does not expect Amendments to IAS 1 to have any material impact on its financial 

disclosures . 

143

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT3 .  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and 

estimates in applying Allied’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made 

in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes .

Within the context of these consolidated financial statements, a judgment is a decision made by 

management in respect of the application of an accounting policy, a recognized or unrecognized 

financial statement amount and/or note disclosure, following an analysis of relevant information that 

may include estimates and assumptions . Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining 

the measurement of balances recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and are 

based on a set of underlying data that may include management’s historical experience, knowledge 

of current events and conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the 

circumstances . Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses .

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation 

uncertainty that Allied believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in 

the consolidated financial statements . Allied’s material accounting policy information are disclosed in 

note 2 . 

Investment properties

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied - Judgment is applied in determining whether 

certain costs are additions to the carrying value of investment properties, identifying the point at which 

substantial completion of a development property occurs, and identifying the directly attributable 

borrowing costs to be included in the carrying value of the development property . Allied also applies 

judgment in determining whether the properties it acquires are considered to be asset acquisitions or 

business combinations . Allied has determined through the appropriate analysis that all the properties it 

has acquired to date to be asset acquisitions .

Key Sources of Estimation - The fair value of investment properties and investment properties held for 

sale is dependent on available comparable transactions, future cash flows over the holding period and 

discount rates and capitalization rates applicable to those assets . For further details, see note 5 . The 

review of anticipated cash flows involves assumptions relating to occupancy, rental rates and residual 

value . In addition to reviewing anticipated cash flows, management assesses changes in the business 

climate and other factors which may affect the ultimate value of the property . These assumptions may 

or may not ultimately be realized .

Joint arrangements

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied - Judgment is applied in determining whether 

Allied has joint control and whether the arrangements are joint operations or joint ventures . In 

making this assessment management applies judgment to determine Allied’s rights and obligations 

in the arrangement based on factors such as the structure, legal form and contractual terms of 

the arrangement .

144

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTIncome taxes

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied - Allied qualifies as a mutual fund trust (“MFT”) 

and a REIT as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) . Allied is not liable to pay entity level Canadian 

income taxes provided that its taxable income is fully distributed to Unitholders each year and if it 

meets the prescribed rules under the Income Tax Act (Canada) to be a REIT and MFT . This results in no 

current or deferred income tax being recognized in the financial statements .

Allied applies judgment in determining whether it will continue to qualify as a REIT and in assessing its 

interpretation and application to its assets and revenue . While there are uncertainties in interpretation 

and application of these rules, Allied believes it meets the REIT and MFT rules .

Allied expects to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Income Tax Act (Canada), however, should it 

no longer qualify, it would be subject to entity level tax and would be required to recognize current and 

deferred income taxes .

consideration of $112,660 and assumptions of other liabilities of $13,538 .

Dispositions

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied completed the following property dispositions:

On August 16, 2023, Allied closed on the disposition of the Urban Data Centre (“UDC”) portfolio to KDDI 

Canada Inc ., a wholly owned subsidiary of KDDI Corporation (“KDDI”) for total gross cash proceeds of

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAs at December 31, 2023, Allied did not classify any investment properties as held for sale . As at 

December 31, 2022, Allied had five properties classified as investment properties held for sale totaling 

$1,354,830, four located in Toronto and one located in Montréal . The decrease of $1,354,830 in the year 

ended December 31, 2023, is primarily due to the sale of the UDC portfolio on August 16, 2023 (note 4) .

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied capitalized $61,671 (December 31, 2022 - $47,606) of 

borrowing costs to qualifying investment properties .

Included in the investment properties amounts noted above are right-of-use assets with a fair value 

of $138,760 (December 31, 2022 - $162,400) representing the fair value of Allied’s interest in four 

investment properties with corresponding lease liabilities . The leases’ maturities range from 20 .8 

years to 78 .5 years (December 31, 2022 - 21 .8 years to 79 .5 years) . In addition, Allied has a prepaid land 

leasehold interest on a property with a fair value of $173,240 (December 31, 2022 - $178,020) and a 

maturity of 72 .6 years (December 31, 2022 - 73 .6 years) .

Valuation methodology

The appraised fair value of investment properties and investment properties held for sale is most 

commonly determined using the following methodologies: 

(i)  Discounted cash flow method - Under this approach, discount rates are applied to the projected 

annual operating cash flows, generally over a ten-year period, including a terminal value of the 

properties based on a capitalization rate applied to the estimated net operating income (“NOI”), 

a non-GAAP measure, in the terminal year . This method is primarily used to value the rental 

portfolio, and, in some cases, investment properties held for sale . 

(ii)  Comparable sales method - This approach compares a subject property’s characteristics with 

those of comparable properties which have recently sold . The process uses one of several 

techniques to adjust the price of the comparable transactions according to the presence, absence, 

or degree of characteristics which influence value . These characteristics include the cost of 

construction incurred at a property under development . This method is primarily used to value the 

development portfolio and ancillary parking facilities and, in some cases, investment properties 

held for sale . 

(iii)  Direct capitalization method - Under this approach, capitalization rates are applied to the estimated 

stabilized NOI of the properties . Estimated stabilized NOI is based on projected rental revenue and 

property operating costs, and external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, 

and is further adjusted for estimated vacancy loss and capital reserves . Currently, this method is 

used only to value residential use .

148

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAllied determines the fair value of its investment property portfolio every quarter and at year-end with 

the support of a third-party appraiser . The fair value of each investment property is determined based 

on various factors, including rental income from current leases, assumptions about rental income and 

cash outflows related to future leases reflecting market conditions, and recent market transactions .

Allied’s valuation of its investment properties considers both asset-specific and market-specific factors, 

as well as observable transactions for similar assets . The determination of fair value requires the use of 

estimates, which are determined with the support of a third-party appraiser and compared with market 

data, third-party reports, and research, as well as observable market conditions . 

Significant inputs

There are significant unobservable inputs used, such as the discount rates and terminal capitalization 

rates, which are incorporated to derive the overall capitalization rates, in determining the fair value of 

each investment property and investment property held for sale . Accordingly, all investment properties 

and investment properties held for sale are measured in accordance with the fair value measurement 

hierarchy levels and the inputs comprise Level 3 unobservable inputs, reflecting Management’s best 

estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset at the measurement date . Overall 

capitalization rates are inherently uncertain and may be impacted by various factors, including 

movements in interest rates in the geographies, markets where the assets are located, and may vary 

with different classes of buildings . Changes in estimates of overall capitalization rates across different 

geographies, markets, and building classes often occur independently of each other and do not 

necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude . Fair values are most sensitive to 

changes in overall capitalization rates . Generally, an increase in overall capitalization rates will result 

in a decrease in the fair value . Below are the rates used in the modeling process for valuations of 

investment properties and investment properties held for sale .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTResidential inventory consists of assets that are developed by Allied for sale in the ordinary course of 

business . Allied may transfer an investment property to residential inventory based on a change in use, 

as evidenced by the commencement of development activities with the intention to sell . Alternatively, a 

transfer from residential inventory to investment property would be evidenced by the commencement 

of leasing activity . 

On November 30, 2018, Allied entered into a joint arrangement with Westbank to develop KING 

Toronto . KING Toronto is a mixed-use property comprised of office, retail and residential uses . As part 

of the arrangement Allied sold a 50% undivided interest to Westbank . The residential component will be 

developed and sold as condominium units, totaling 440 units . 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied recorded an impairment of $15,376 (December 31, 

2022 - $15,729) on KING Toronto . Residential inventory carrying value is calculated as the estimated 

gross proceeds less estimated costs to complete . The impairment during the years ended December 31, 

2023 and 2022, reflect higher estimated costs to complete . 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied capitalized $9,215 (December 31, 2022 - $6,204) of 

borrowing costs to qualifying residential inventory .

fix approximately 75% of the construction loan up to $209,572 at 2 .86% . The swap matured on March 31, 

2023, so the construction loan is no longer fixed and is subject to the facility’s variable rate .

rate plus 135 basis points with a standby fee of 27 basis points and a letter of credit fee rate of 100 

basis points . These interest rates and the standby fee (other than the letter of credit fee) are subject 

to variability based on the achievement of two distinct sustainability performance targets . For each 

sustainability performance target achieved, the interest rate and standby fee would decrease by 0 .025% 

per annum and 0 .005% per annum, respectively . In addition, if certain sustainability minimums are 

not achieved, the interest rate and standby fee would increase by 0 .025% per annum and 0 .005% per 

annum, respectively . Depending on the applicable sustainability performance target or sustainability 

minimum, the settlement of these interest rate variations and the standby fee occurs either annually or 

at the earlier of December 6, 2025, and the date the construction lending facility is fully repaid . Allied 

has provided a joint and several guarantee of the entire facility and is earning a related guarantee fee 

on up to $75,000 of the facility . On January 13, 2023, the 108 East 5th Avenue joint arrangement entered

Allied uses various methods in estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities that are measured on a 

recurring or non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets after initial recognition . The fair 

value hierarchy reflects the significance of inputs used in determining the fair values .

—  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

—  Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets or valuation techniques where 

significant inputs are based on observable market data; and

—  Level 3 – valuation technique for which significant inputs are not based on observable market data .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTThe following summarizes the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of 

Allied’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Interest rate swap derivative contracts

The fair value of the derivative contracts is determined using forward interest rates observable in the 

market (Level 2) .

Unit-based compensation liabilities

The fair value of Allied’s unit-based compensation liabilities is based on the market value of the 

underlying Units (Level 2) . For the performance trust units, the performance market conditions are also 

taken into consideration .

Exchangeable LP Units

The fair value of Exchangeable LP Units is based on the closing market trading price of Units as at each 

year end (Level 2) .

Debt and loans and notes receivable

The fair value of debt and loans and notes receivable are determined by discounting the cash flows of 

these financial instruments using year end market rates for instruments of similar terms and credit risks 

that are observable in the market (Level 2) .

16 .  EQUITY

Units (authorized - unlimited)

Each Unit represents a single vote at any meeting of holders of Units and Special Voting Units (as 

defined below) and entitles the holders of Units and Special Voting Units to receive a pro rata share of all 

distributions, in accordance with the conditions provided for in the Declaration of Trust .

The following represents the number of Units issued and outstanding, and the related carrying value of 

equity, for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTIn January 2022, Allied issued 211,800 Units under the at-the-market program (“ATM Program”) in 

settlement of trades executed at the end of December 2021 at a weighted average price of $44 .02 per 

Unit for gross proceeds of $9,324, and incurred commissions of $140, for net proceeds of $9,184 . The 

ATM Program is described in note 26(a) .

Allied does not hold any of its own Units, nor does Allied reserve any Units for issue under options 

and contracts .

Distributions

On December 15, 2023, Allied declared a special distribution of $5 .48 per Unit, comprised of $0 .48 

per Unit payable in cash and $5 .00 per Unit payable by the issuance of Units of Allied to Unitholders 

of record as at December 29, 2023 (the “Special Distribution”) . The Special Distribution was made 

primarily to distribute to Unitholders a portion of the capital gain realized by Allied during the year 

ended December 31, 2023, from the sale of the UDC Portfolio . 

On December 29, 2023, 31,703,663 Units were distributed at a price of $20 .18 per Unit, for an aggregate 

value of $639,780 . Immediately following the Special Distribution of Units, the outstanding Units of 

Allied were consolidated such that each Unitholder held, after the consolidation, the same number 

of Units as held immediately prior to the Special Distribution . For the year ended December 31, 2023, 

the issuance of Units pursuant to the Special Distribution was recorded to Units in the Consolidated 

Statements of Equity in accordance with IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, with a 

corresponding reduction to retained earnings as a result of the Special Distribution declared . The 

remaining portion of the Special Distribution of $61,419 will be paid in cash on January 15, 2024 . 

On January 15, 2024, Allied declared a distribution for the month of January 2024 of $0 .15 per Unit, 

representing $1 .80 per Unit on an annualized basis to Unitholders of record as at January 31, 2024 .

Normal course issuer bid

On February 22, 2023, Allied received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the 

renewal of its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), which entitles Allied to purchase up to 12,582,628 

of its outstanding Units, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at February 10, 2023 . 

The NCIB commenced February 24, 2023, and will expire on February 23, 2024, or such earlier date 

as Allied completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB . All purchases under the NCIB will be made 

on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or alternate trading systems in Canada at market 

prices prevailing at the time of purchase . Any Units that are repurchased will either be cancelled 

or delivered to participants under Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan or to employees pursuant to Allied’s 

employee programs . 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied purchased 76,959 Units for $2,250 at a weighted 

average price of $29 .25 per Unit under its NCIB program, of which 76,450 Units were purchased for 

delivery to participants under Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan and 509 Units were purchased for certain 

employee rewards outside of Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT17 .  EXCHANGEABLE LP UNITS

Exchangeable LP Units (authorized - unlimited)

Exchangeable LP Units issued by the Partnership are economically equivalent to Units, receive 

distributions equal to the distributions paid on the Units and are exchangeable, at the holder’s option, 

for Units . All Exchangeable LP Units are held, directly or indirectly, by Choice Properties .

The 11,809,145 Exchangeable LP Units issued on March 31, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of 

certain properties (see note 4) contain lock-up and standstill restrictions . On each of June 30, 2023, 

September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, the lock-up expired on 2,952,286 Exchangeable LP 

Units . The following Exchangeable LP Units are subject to lock-up and the expiration is based on the 

following schedule:

LOCK-UP EXPIRATION DATE

NUMBER OF EXCHANGEABLE LP UNITS ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE

March 31, 2024

2,952,287

Each Exchangeable LP Unit is accompanied by one special voting unit of Allied (“Special Voting Unit”) 

which provides the holder thereof with the right to one vote at all meetings of holders of Units and 

Special Voting Units . The Declaration of Trust was amended on March 4, 2022, to provide for the 

creation and issuance of the Special Voting Units .

The following represents the number of Exchangeable LP Units issued and outstanding, and the related

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTOn each date that a distribution is declared by Allied on the Units, a distribution in an equal amount 

per unit is declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units . A holder of Exchangeable LP 

Units may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of distributions declared by the Partnership until the 

first business day following the end of the fiscal year . If the holder elects to defer, the Partnership will 

loan the holder an amount equal to the deferred distribution without interest, and the loan will be due 

and payable on the first business day following the end of the fiscal year during which the loan was 

advanced . The distributions declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units from January 

1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, was $26,925, which includes a special cash distribution of $5,668, 

which is $0 .48 per Exchangeable LP Unit, for which Choice Properties elected to receive a loan in lieu 

of all of the distributions . The loan in lieu of distributions issued to Choice Properties for the cash 

advances made during the year ended December 31, 2023, was a note receivable of $21,207 and $7,440 

was advanced to Choice Properties as a note receivable on January 15, 2024 . Since there is a legally 

enforceable right and an intention by Allied and Choice Properties to settle the note receivable from 

Choice Properties and the distributions payable to Choice Properties on a net basis on the first business 

day following the end of the fiscal year, these financial instruments are offset on the balance sheet . On 

January 2, 2024, $21,207 of the note receivable due from Choice Properties was settled on a net basis 

against the distributions payable to Choice Properties . 

On January 15, 2024, the Partnership declared a distribution for the month of January 2024 of $0 .15 per 

Exchangeable LP Unit, representing $1 .80 per Exchangeable LP Unit on an annualized basis to holders 

of the Exchangeable Units as at January 31, 2024, for which Choice Properties elected to receive a loan 

in lieu of the distribution .

Allied accounts for its Unit Option Plan using the fair value method, under which compensation 

expense is measured at the date options are granted and recognized over the vesting period . Allied 

utilizes the Black-Scholes Model for the valuation of Unit options with no performance criteria .

The underlying expected volatility was determined by reference to historical data of Allied’s Units over 

10 years .

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Allied recorded a unit-based compensation expense of $389 

(December 31, 2022 - $876) in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of 

(Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income .

(b)  Restricted Unit Plan

Certain employees and the Trustees of Allied may be granted Restricted Units pursuant to the terms of 

the Restricted Unit Plan, which are subject to vesting conditions and disposition restrictions, in order 

to provide a long-term compensation incentive . The Restricted Units will not vest and remain subject 

to forfeiture until the participant has held his or her position with Allied for a specific period of time . 

Generally, one third of the Restricted Units vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries from 

the date of grant for employees . Restricted Units granted to non-management trustees are fully vested 

on the grant date . Units required under the Restricted Unit Plan are acquired in the secondary market 

through a custodian and then distributed to the individual participant accounts . Restricted Units are 

released to participants forthwith following the sixth anniversary of the award date or such other date 

as determined in accordance with the Restricted Unit Plan .

(Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income .

(c)  Performance and Restricted Trust Unit Plan

In December 2021, Allied adopted a cash settled performance and restricted trust unit plan (the “PTU/

RTU Plan”) whereby performance trust units and/or restricted trust units (together, “Plan Units”) are 

granted to certain employees at the discretion of the Board . Plan Units are subject to such vesting, 

settlement, performance criteria and adjustment factors as are established by the Board at the time of 

the grant and accumulate distribution equivalents in the form of additional Plan Units . The PTU/RTU 

Plan contains provisions providing for the vesting or forfeiture of unvested Plan Units within specified 

time periods in the event the employee’s employment is terminated, and authorizes the Chief Executive 

Officer, in their discretion, to amend the vesting and settlement of Plan Units in certain circumstances 

where an employee’s employment is terminated . The following is a summary of the activity of Allied’s

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT22 .  JOINT OPERATIONS

Allied has investments in properties under joint arrangements which are accounted for as joint 

operations . The following tables summarize Allied’s ownership interests in joint operations and its share 

of the rights to the assets, its share of the obligations with respect to liabilities, and its share of revenues 

and expenses for the joint operations in which it participates .

Allied’s joint arrangements are governed by agreements with the respective co-owners . Included within 

the agreements are standard exit and transfer provisions that include, but are not limited to, buy/sell 

and/or right of first offers or refusals that provide for unwinding the arrangement . Allied is liable for its 

proportionate share of the obligations of the arrangement . In the event that there is default on payment 

by the co-owner, credit risk is typically mitigated with an option to remedy any non-performance by 

the defaulting co-owner, as well as recourse against the asset, whereby claims would be against both the 

underlying real estate investments and the co-owner in default .

IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires reportable segments to be determined based on internal reports 

that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of 

allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance . Allied has determined that its 

CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer . Allied’s operating segments are managed by use of 

properties and cities . The urban office properties are managed by geographic location consisting of four 

groups of cities .

The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of Allied’s operating segments based on operating 

income .

Management reviews assets and liabilities on a total basis and therefore assets and liabilities are not 

included in the segmented information below . All revenue is generated in Canada and all assets and 

liabilities are located in Canada .

Allied does not allocate interest expense to segments as debt is viewed by Management to be used for 

the purpose of acquisitions, development and improvement of all the properties . Similarly, interest 

income, general and administrative expenses, condominium marketing expenses, amortization of other 

assets, transaction costs, net loss from joint venture, fair value gain (loss) on investment properties and 

investment properties held for sale, fair value gain (loss) on Exchangeable LP units, fair value gain (loss) 

derivative instruments and impairment of residential inventory are not allocated to operating segments .

The Urban Data Centre segment is classified as discontinued operations (note 6) and is therefore 

excluded from the following tables, which present a reconciliation of operating income to net (loss) 

income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT26 .  RISK MANAGEMENT

(a)  Capital management

Allied defines capital as the aggregate of equity, Exchangeable LP Units, mortgages payable, 

construction loans payable, promissory note payable, Unsecured Facility, Unsecured Debentures, 

Unsecured Term Loans and lease liabilities . Allied manages its capital to comply with investment 

and debt restrictions pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, to comply with debt covenants, to ensure 

sufficient operating funds are available to fund business strategies, to fund leasing and capital 

expenditures, to fund acquisitions and development activities of properties, and to provide stable and 

growing cash distributions to Unitholders .

Various debt, equity and earnings distributions ratios are used to monitor capital adequacy 

requirements . For debt management, debt to gross book value and fair value, debt average term to 

maturity, and variable debt as a percentage of debt are the primary ratios used in capital management . 

The Declaration of Trust requires Allied to maintain debt to gross book value, as defined by the 

Declaration of Trust, of less than 60% (65% including convertible debentures, if any) . As at December 31, 

2023, the debt to gross book value ratio was 34 .7% (December 31, 2022 - 35 .6%) .

On June 2, 2021, Allied filed a short form base shelf prospectus allowing for the issuance, from time to 

time, of Units and debt securities, or any combination thereof having an aggregate offering price of up 

to $3,000,000 . This document was valid for a 25-month period ending on July 2, 2023 . The short form 

base shelf prospectus filed on June 2, 2021, was amended on November 11, 2021 (the “Shelf Prospectus”), 

and was filed in each of the provinces and territories of Canada . On November 12, 2021, Allied filed a 

prospectus supplement to its Shelf Prospectus, allowing Allied to offer and issue Units under the ATM 

Program up to $300,000 . Distributions of Units under the ATM Program were made pursuant to the 

terms of an equity distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) dated November 12, 2021, 

entered into among Allied, Goldman Sachs Canada Inc ., National Bank Financial Inc . and Scotia Capital 

Inc . The volume and timing of any distributions of Units under the ATM Program was determined in 

Allied’s sole discretion . The ATM Program was effective until July 2, 2023 .

Allied has certain key financial covenants in its Unsecured Debentures, Unsecured Facility and 

Unsecured Term Loans . The key financial covenants include debt service ratios and leverage ratios, as 

defined in the respective agreements . These ratios are evaluated by Allied on an ongoing basis to ensure 

compliance with the agreements . Allied was in compliance with each of the key financial covenants 

under these agreements as at December 31, 2023 .

183

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT(b)  Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments will fluctuate 

because of changes in market prices . Allied is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings . All of 

Allied’s mortgages payable as at December 31, 2023, are at fixed interest rates and are not exposed to 

changes in interest rates during the term of the debt . However, there is interest rate risk associated 

with Allied’s fixed interest rate term debt due to the expected requirement to refinance such debts 

upon maturity . As fixed rate debt matures and as Allied utilizes additional floating rate debt under the 

Unsecured Facility, Allied will be further exposed to changes in interest rates . As at December 31, 2023, 

the Unsecured Facility, which is at a floating interest rate and is exposed to changes in interest rates, 

had a balance outstanding of $nil (December 31, 2022 - $440,000) . Also, Allied has construction loans 

payable, of which $267,951 (December 31, 2022 - $138,240) is subject to floating interest rates and is 

exposed to changes in interest rates . In addition, there is a risk that interest rates will fluctuate from 

the date Allied commits to a debt to the date the interest rate is set with the lender . As part of its risk 

management program, Allied endeavours to maintain an appropriate mix of fixed rate and floating rate 

debt, to stagger the maturities of its debt and to minimize the time between committing to a debt and 

the date the interest rate is set with the lender .

The following table illustrates the annualized sensitivity of income and equity to a reasonably possible 

change in interest rates of +/- 1 .0% . These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on 

observation of current market conditions . The calculations are based on a change in the average market 

interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive 

to changes in interest rates . This includes mortgages payable due within one year which have a fixed 

rate as at the reporting date, but are subject to interest rate risk upon refinancing . All other variables are 

held constant .

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORT(c)  Unit price risk

Unit price risk arises from the unit-based compensation liabilities and Exchangeable LP Units which 

are recorded at fair value at each quarter-end date . Allied’s unit-based compensation liabilities and 

Exchangeable LP Units negatively impact net income and comprehensive income when the Unit price 

rises and positively impact net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income when the Unit price 

declines . 

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income and 

equity to a reasonably possible change in Unit price of +/- $1 .00 . These changes are considered to be 

reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions . The calculations are based on a 

change in the Unit price for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that 

are sensitive to changes in the Unit price . All other variables are held constant .

(d)  Credit risk

As Allied has provided loans and advances to facilitate property development, further credit risks arise 

in the event that borrowers default on the repayment of their amounts owing to Allied . Allied’s loans 

and advances will be subordinate to prior ranking mortgages or charges . As at December 31, 2023, Allied 

had $509,697 outstanding in loans receivable (December 31, 2022 - $432,032) and $93,291 outstanding 

in joint venture loan receivable (December 31, 2022 - $113,287) . In the event of a large commercial real 

estate market correction, the fair market value of an underlying property may be unable to support 

the loan value . Allied mitigates this risk by obtaining corporate guarantees and/or registered mortgage 

charges and assignment of leases, performing credit checks on potential borrowers, monitoring the 

financial and operating performance of borrowers, monitoring the status of development projects and 

ensuring interest payments are made on time . The expected credit losses estimated by Management, 

giving consideration to the factors above, as at December 31, 2023, are $nil (December 31, 2022 - $nil) 

(note 9) .

Credit risk from user receivables arises from the possibility that users may experience financial difficulty 

and be unable to fulfill their lease commitments, resulting in Allied incurring a financial loss . Allied 

manages credit risk to mitigate exposure to financial loss by staggering lease maturities, diversifying 

revenue sources over a large user base, ensuring no individual user contributes a significant portion of 

Allied’s revenues and conducting credit reviews of new users . The expected credit losses estimated by 

Management at December 31, 2023, are $11,722 (December 31, 2022 - $11,336) (note 11 (a)) .

185

ALLIED 2023 ANNUAL REPORTAllied considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the reporting 

dates under review are of good quality . The carrying amount of accounts receivable best represents 

Allied’s maximum exposure to credit risk . None of Allied’s financial assets are secured by collateral 

or other credit enhancements . 

An aging of trade receivables, including trade receivables past due but not impaired can be shown 

as follows:

Less than 30 days

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility of not having sufficient capital available to fund ongoing 

operations or the ability to refinance or meet obligations as they come due . Mitigation of liquidity risk 

is also managed through credit risk as discussed above . A portion of Allied’s assets have been pledged 

as security under the related mortgages and other security agreements . Contractual interest rates on 

the mortgages payable are between 2 .77% and 4 .29% for December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - 2 .77% 

and 4 .30%) .

Allied entered into interest rate derivative contracts to limit its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates 

on $650,000 of its variable rate unsecured term loans and $39,062 of its construction loans (December 

31, 2022 - $650,000 and $85,485, respectively) . Allied does not have any variable rate mortgages . Gains 

or losses arising from the change in fair values of the interest rate derivative contracts are recognized in 

the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income . For the year ended 

December 31, 2023, Allied recognized as part of the change in fair value adjustment on derivative 

instruments a fair value loss of $(8,535) (December 31, 2022 - fair value gain of $37,343) .

Liquidity and capital availability risks are mitigated by maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity, 

diversifying Allied’s sources of funding, maintaining a well-staggered debt maturity profile and actively 

monitoring market conditions .

Allied has entered into commitments relating to development and upgrade activity . The commitments 

as at December 31, 2023, were $168,071 (December 31, 2022 - $247,819) .

Commitments as at December 31, 2023, of $406 (December 31, 2022 - $510) were held within equity 

accounted investments .

Allied is subject to legal and other claims in the normal course of business . Management and legal 

counsel evaluate all claims . In the opinion of Management these claims are generally covered by Allied’s 

insurance policies and any liability from such remaining claims are not probable to occur and would not 

have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements .

Allied, through a financial intermediary, has issued letters of credit in the amount of $23,226 as at 

December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $23,952) .
