a Canada-based open-ended real estate investment trust. The Company's objective
is to deliver a growing yield to unitholders from a diversified portfolio of
retail properties. The Company develops, owns and manages retail real estate
primarily in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario . The Company
offers a business strategy that differs from various peers in the real estate
industry. The Company's portfolio includes interests in approximately 310
properties totaling over 7.1 million square feet, which are predominantly
occupied by national tenants and additional lands held for development. These
include properties indirectly held by Plaza through its subsidiaries and
through joint arrangements. The Company's properties are located in Alberta , Newfoundland
and Labrador , New Brunswick ,
Nova Scotia , Manitoba ,
Ontario , Prince Edward
Island and Quebec .
The Company's subsidiaries include Plaza Master Limited Partnership and Scott's

The Investment Case
Plaza Corp is a strong
internalized developer of retail properties with holdings in Quebec , Ontario
and the Maritimes. It has tenants resistant to e-commerce, like Shoppers Drug
Mart (25 per cent of gross leasable area), KFC, Dollarama, Sobeys and Canadian
Tire.
It has a strong pipeline of 25 projects, including acquiring old Sears sites for redevelopment. Plaza Corp is the only REIT to consistently increase AFFO/share and increase dividend every year for 15 years. Retail real estate is out of favor, so it’s a good time to buy this undervalued stock. Insiders own 21 per cent and are buying shares (Michael Zakuta). We recently bought more at $3.30. Nice safe dividend yield of 6.5 per cent.
