A Note from the Dream Impact Fund Portfolio Manager
In 2024, we continued to embed responsible and sustainable practices across our real estate developments and operations. We pride ourselves on our ability to create communities that generate positive social and environmental impact and deliver value to our stakeholders.
Our investments in sustainable building design and retrofits have resulted in measurable reductions in operational carbon emissions. Across the Dream platform, we expanded our use of low-carbon materials, improved energy performance in our portfolio, and implemented innovative solutions such as district energy systems and low carbon developments. We have made strides to incorporate accessibility, affordability, and social inclusion in our residential and mixed-use projects, through partnerships with community organizations and various levels of government.
Dream has made significant progress working through its pipeline of multi-family developments.
Voda, which is located in Ottawa, Ontario as part of the 34-acre Zibi development, is a 207 unit building which includes living space designated with a co-living concept. As part of our commitment to working with our community partners, during the year, 19 of these units were sold to Ottawa Community Housing to own and operate.
We have also made significant achievements with the Canary Landing community, which is comprised of Maple House, Cherry House, Birch House and Canary House. The community also includes a 26,000sf heritage retail site and an Indigenous Hub which is expected to be completed in 2025.
Notably, the Canary Landing community has nearly 500 units designated as affordable which are completed or are under active construction. This exemplifies Dream's commitment to integrating affordable housing into its developments, while also pursuing our social goals to foster vibrant and inclusive communities, including work done with local non-profits and the Dream Community Foundation.
With the evolving economic landscape, we continue to reassess the goals set out several years ago. However, we are focused on the successes we have achieved in 2024, as highlighted in this Impact Report.
We thank our partners and investors for their continued support.

IMPACT VERTICAL
Dream's Impact Assets span key locations in Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, and the National Capital Region and are defined by our comprehensive impact strategy, measured through our three Impact Verticals. The Impact Verticals were created to address some of Canada's largest societal issues and are used as a strategic framework for impact measurement and management across our Impact Assets. The listed outcomes under each Impact Vertical correspond with our reporting metrics and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We view SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, as our overarching goal with several other SDGs supporting asset level projects and initiatives within our impact investing strategy.
SDGS ALIGNMENT
We believe Dream's impact goals strengthen our ability to generate sustainable returns over the long term and aim to make the communities where we are present a more equitable place.
