Dream Office REIT is also a tenant in our own building. In order to help keep our employees healthy and safe, we have developed a comprehensive return to work plan that outlines the changes we have made to our offices so that our employees who wish to return to the office can do so safely. Please click link to see our “Better Together” plan for all Dream employees.

We have also created building specific plans for our assets to help guide our tenants back to work. Please click link to see an example for our head office at 30 Adelaide Street East in downtown Toronto.

Furthermore, we are actively implementing the following measures across our portfolio to better protect our tenants and make them feel safer to return to work. We anticipate all of these projects to be substantially complete by August 2020:

UV hand rails for all our buildings with escalators that actively kill 99.9% of the virus in contact with hand rail when in operation;
UV filtration in air handling units that actively kill 99.9% of the virus when in operation across a number of buildings in our portfolio, including its elevators;
Portable UV filters for common areas, including remote controlled robots with UV lamps that disinfects unoccupied areas;
Antimicrobial protection and protective covers that prevents and controls growth on all high touch surfaces in common areas, including elevator buttons, stairwell rails, and doors; and
Health Canada certified organic disinfectant sprayers to proactively eliminate dust, mold, bacteria & other viruses.

LEASING UPDATE

Despite COVID-19’s disruption to the leasing market and physical distancing measures currently in place, the REIT is managing an active pipeline of renewals and new leases with existing and prospective tenants.

In addition to the previously announced 206,000 square feet renewal with a government tenant, we are currently working on approximately 370,000 square feet of leasing deals across the portfolio.

While government restrictions preclude showing our properties to prospective tenants in person, we have been developing virtual models of our space. These models allow prospective tenants to take virtual tours of currently vacant units and see examples of finished spaces.
