A Canadian office landlord marked down the value of its holdings by nearly C$500 million ($371 million) as the persistence of remote work and high interest rates weigh on the market for commercial property.
Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust reported a net loss for the final three months of last year as it was forced to adjust the value of its properties across Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver, according to results released Wednesday.
