Q: A quote from the Business Insider: "Prospective losses, refinancing woes, international contagion, and panic selling combine to create a bleak outlook for the commercial property sector."

I'm guessing the Office sector is perhaps the most risky portion, but how concerned are you about these three industrial REIT's with regards to the overall CRE outlook? PLD apparently has an A-rated balance sheet which I would guess help them survive compared to many (?) It also appears that much has maybe been priced into the respective stock prices of these.anada

Q: With increasing power demand (AI, EV's, data centers, etc.), what positive or negative impact does this have on BEP.UN and FTS ?

Are there any Canadian REIT's that are currently investing in the apparent demand for data centers - perhaps DIR.UN or GRT.UN ? I know that BIP.UN is now investing in this area.
