RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST $22.30 (Toronto symbol REI.UN; SI Rating: Average) is Canada’s largest REIT. RioCan has ownership interests in a portfolio of 206 retail properties across Canada, including nine under development. These properties contain over 52.1 million square feet of leasable area. RioCan’s revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $174.5 million, up 9.6% from $159.2 million a year earlier. Cash flow per unit was unchanged at $0.35. RioCan’s annual distribution of $1.32 gives it a current yield of 5.9%. RioCan is focusing its future development on six high-growth markets — Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Although land costs more in these markets than other areas, RioCan feels their strong growth prospects offset the higher building costs. RioCan is still a buy.
