Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust Announces DBRS Issuer Rating
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/10/14 -- Allied Properties REIT (TSX: AP.UN) today announced that DBRS has assigned it an issuer rating of BBB (low) with a Stable trend. DBRS indicated in its report that the rating reflects Allied''s leading position in the Class I property segment, solid financial profile for the current rating category, diverse tenant base and well managed and maintained properties. DBRS also noted that Allied (i) has achieved significant portfolio and earnings growth while steadily improving its property and geographic diversification and (ii) has consistently displayed a record of prudent financial management.
"Allied''s commitment to the balance sheet remains unwavering because of the defensive and offensive benefits that flow from conservative financial management," said Michael Emory, President and CEO. "Our capability in this regard has now been enhanced by an investment-grade credit rating that will enable us to access the unsecured debenture market and expand our pool of unencumbered properties. This comes at an opportune time, as a number of large-scale value-creation projects that we might otherwise have financed with conventional first-mortgage financing are approaching substantial completion."
