H&R Real Estate Investment Trust HRUN.TO

Company Overview

H&R Real Estate Investment Trust (OTC: HRUFF; TSX: HR.UN) is a Canadian real estate investment trust focused on owning, operating, and developing a diversified portfolio of commercial and residential properties. The REIT operates primarily in the real estate industry across sectors including residential rental, industrial, office, and retail properties. In recent years, H&R has repositioned its portfolio toward residential and industrial assets while reducing exposure to traditional office properties, reflecting broader structural shifts in North American real estate markets. Revenue is generated primarily through rental income, property management activities, and development-related returns.

The company traces its origins to 1996, when H&R REIT was formed through the merger of multiple Canadian real estate entities. Over time, it expanded through acquisitions and large-scale developments across Canada and the United States. H&R has historically distinguished itself through portfolio diversification, long-duration lease structures, institutional-grade tenants, and active capital recycling. The REIT has also pursued mixed-use and transit-oriented development projects, particularly through its residential-focused platforms.
