As of October 1, 2008, the portfolio of LREIT consists of 35 multi-family residential projects, four commercial properties and three senior housing complexes.

Twelve of the 34 multi-family residential projects, representing 1007 units, are located in Fort McMurray, Alberta. LREIT has agreed to acquire an additional property in Fort McMurray, which is comprised of 160 units. The concentration of multi-family residential projects in Fort McMurray capitalizes on the demand for local housing which is resulting from the ongoing expansion of the oil sands industry.
