LaSalle Canada Property Fund’s 1652 and 1672 Tricont earn LEED® Silver

LaSalle Investment Management (“LaSalle”) announced that 1652 and 1672 Tricont, two Class A logistics properties  in its flagship core real estate fund in Canada, LaSalle Canada Property Fund (“LCPF” or “the fund”), earned the prestigious LEED® Silver certifications through the Canada Green Building Council. LEED is recognized globally as an indicator of sustainability achievement and leadership. To achieve LEED Silver, buildings must receive a high score in key areas that measure environmental impact.

Located in Whitby, Ontario in Toronto’s GTA East submarket, 1652 and 1672 Tricont Avenue comprise over 370,000 square feet. The buildings were newly constructed in 2020 and boast 32-foot clear heights, ESFR sprinklers, LED lighting and electric vehicle charging stations. The buildings are fully leased on a long-term basis to credit quality tenants.   

Sam Barbieri, SVP, Portfolio Management and Deputy Fund Manager, LCPF, said: “We’re thrilled that 1652 and 1672 Tricont have earned LEED Silver certifications. These properties were designed with LEED specifications in mind which, along with an exceptional tenant roster and location, was a large reason we acquired them. LaSalle Canada Property Fund continues to be an industry leader in sustainability, we look to continue this momentum through further LEED certifications in our portfolio.”

Elena Alschuler, Americas Head of Sustainability, added: “We remain highly committed to using our asset management practices around the world to achieve leadership in sustainability while prioritizing optimum investment performance.  LEED certification plays an important role in achieving both of these goals at these properties – by reducing our environmental impact and ensuring the buildings remain attractive to tenants and investors into the future.”

The LEED certifications earned by 1652 and 1672 Tricont add to LCPF’s achievements as a leader in sustainability. In 2021, 275 Slater, a 54-year-old office property in downtown Ottawa, earned the LEED Platinum certification, the highest LEED achievement. LCPF has also earned Five Stars, the highest rating, from the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark for two consecutive years, making it the only open-end core fund in Canada to do so.
