A focus on partnership underpins our successful Canadian farmland investment strategy and has been key to fostering relationships with about 90 tenant-operators across Saskatchewan.
Avenue Living Agricultural Land Trust is now winding down with a fixed sunset date. In response to investor demand, the firm is looking to replicate that success through its new Tract Farmland Partners Limited Partnership.
“Our partnerships with farmers demonstrate our commitment to their success while establishing ourselves as a reliable buyer in the farming community,” says Leif Snethun, CEO of Tract Farmland Partners LP. “They’re business-minded and sophisticated, and I’m honored to be associated with them as they shape the future of Canadian agriculture.”

For investors seeking stable returns from agricultural farmland, Saskatchewan-focused fund may be the ideal play.
As an alternative investment, farmland has historically offered the potential for diversification and inflation protection within institutional portfolios and family offices. As investors look to fortify their portfolios against economic and market headwinds, the Avenue Living Agricultural Land (ALAL) Trust is turning heads. Launched in 2016, the first closed-end fund of the ALAL Trust has grown by 12.6% on an annualized basis. The portfolio holds 83,000 acres of productive farmland in Saskatchewan valued at $175 million. With that fund now closed, Avenue Living is set to launch a new open-end investment vehicle to provide investors with indirect exposure to farmland.

Investors weary of market volatility and looming inflation look to self-storage for stability over the long term.
The self-storage industry has long been known for supporting people through everyday life events – the five D’s: downsizing, dislocation, death, divorce, and disaster. These drivers form the baseline demand for, and stickiness of, self-storage, making it one of the most attractive alternative asset classes during economic volatility.

The call has gone out from all levels of government for more affordable homes across Canada. However, solutions to the country’s housing needs must simultaneously address carbons and GHGs.
Rather than simply building new or tearing down and rebuilding some resolution can also be found by taking another look at existing buildings, particularly low and mid-density multi-family structures. Through major financing offered by Crown Corporation, the Canada Investment Bank (CIB), a privately-held Canadian REIT is tackling both the housing and emission issues head-on. Learn how Avenue Living is helping address the housing shortage, sustainably.
Our CIO, Jason Jogia, joined @Wealth Professional to discuss the strategy that sets Avenue Living apart, allowing us to thrive regardless of market conditions.
“We’ve always had to manufacture alpha by out-operating our peers,” says Jason. “By being able to operate effectively, we’ve been able to create a defensible multi-family portfolio.”
Our approach is built on three key drivers: strategic diversification, customer focus, and operational integration. Read more about these foundational elements and how they have allowed us to build a successful business model.
