1IRR (Internal Rate of Return) represents the discount rate of annual net cash paid out to shareholders and the equity value (including minority interest) as at December 31, 2014 over the initial investment in 2003. 2Assets under management (“AUM”) is the respective carrying value of total assets managed by the company on behalf of its clients, investors or partners. Assets under management is a measure of success against the competition and consists of growth or decline due to asset appreciation, changes in fair market value, acquisitions and dispositions, operations gains and losses, and inflows and outflows of capital.3Based on TSX closing price as of April 10, 2015 and units or shares outstanding as at March 27, 2015.4Yield is calculated based on the closing price of units on the TSX as of March 27, 2015 and current distribution rates. Unlike fixed income securities, there is no obligation on the REIT or the trust to distribute to unitholders any fixed amount, and reductions in, or suspensions of, cash distributions may occur that would reduce the yield based on market price.

Highlights of 2014 & 2015At Dream, we have always been focused on identifying and executing on unique opportunities for the benefit of the business and our shareholders and continued to do so throughout 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. The examples below are just a few of our transactions during the year and highlight our strive to generate additional value by being creative, unique and forward-looking.
Unlocking Long-term Real Estate ValueDream and Canadian Pacific (“CP”) recently announced the formation of a joint venture called DREAM Van Horne Properties, created to generate long-term shareholder value from CP’s surplus real estate poised for development by the joint venture. There is unlimited potential to develop land that has benefitted from the growth of the cities they are located in – including Chicago, Toronto, Edmonton and Montreal. The partnership with CP is a testament to the value of Dream’s diversified real estate platform and track record for creating value. We look forward to working with CP for many years.
South Kensington - Dream’s First Condo Residence in SaskatoonDream specializes in creating unique, forward-thinking communities that integrate retail and compelling public spaces with a wealth of conveniences for its residents. Dream’s master-plan for South Kensington includes our first condominium residence in Saskatoon. The South Kensington site is a collaborative effort for Dream, bringing together expertise from all our divisions to build an exceptionally planned community and influence every component of this neighbourhood.
South Korean Pension Fund Joint Venture Dream Global REIT entered into a long-term joint venture with Public Official Benefits Asso-ciation (“POBA”), a South Korean pension fund. To date, we sold a 50% interest in eight proper-ties for approximately CAD $650 million to our JV partner. This transaction allowed us to lever-age our operating platform in Germany and re-deploy the proceeds into highly accretive oppor-tunities, such as Cologne Tower, Cologne’s tallest office building and Dream Global’s largest asset.
Breaking Ground - Dream’s Inaugural Greenfield Retail DevelopmentAs a developer, we strive to capture additional value through commercial developments and in 2013, we hired an experienced team to develop retail projects on land owned by Dream. We are executing on our strategy to in-tensify development on our own and officially broke ground on phase one of Tamarack, our first greenfield retail development located in Edmonton in June 2014. The first phase of this 180,000 square foot multi-phase de-velopment is expected to be completed by mid-2015 and Goodlife Fitness has already moved in. This is just the beginning as we plan to develop on approximately 400 acres of our Western Canadian retail lands ourselves.

DOMTAR LANDS REDEVELOPMENT – A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A WORLD-CLASS SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITYIn 2014, Dream was able to seize a very unique opportunity when it partnered up with Windmill Development Group to take part in transforming an important location in Canada’s National Capital Region. The 37-acre site referred to as the Domtar Lands is unique in many ways – it is located in both the City of Ottawa and the City of Gatineau and consists of two islands and a portion of the Gatineau River bank. Historically, the lands had been reserved for industrial uses. That changed and last October, Ottawa City Council approved the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application to establish the lands to be developed into a unique and dynamic mixed-use community - an opportunity to create a world-class sustainable community in what is considered to be one of the largest redevelopments in the National Capital Region.
The result of this zoning will allow us to develop over 1.3 million square feet of density on the Ottawa Lands. A similar zoning amendment has been approved by the City of Gatineau, which will increase the total density to approximately 3.6 million square feet of mixed use, office, residential and hotel space, including 200,000 square feet of existing brick and beam structures. Whenever possible, existing heritage structures will be integrated. The development’s overall time horizon is about 12 years, with the first residential buildings to be marketed this year. Together with our partner, we have also been actively pursuing commercial and retail tenants and the responses continue to surpass our expectations. We are extremely proud to be part of such an outstanding opportunity to transform the “landscape” in our Nation’s capital.
The community was recently name Zibi, which means ‘river’ in the Algonquin language. Read more here: http://goo.gl/AcbqDg
Dream Sponsors The Shoebox Project In 2014, Dream became the first National Corporate Sponsor of the Shoebox Proj-ect for Shelters, a national organization that brightens the lives of women living in shelters by providing them with gifts during the holidays. In the first of Dream’s three-year partnership with the Shoebox Project, Dream employees across the country contributed hundreds of shoe-boxes filled with gifts: boxes were collect-ed in Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Missis-sauga, Toronto and Dartmouth, and were often the result of colleagues making box-es together as teams. The drives in Regina and Saskatoon were the cities’ first, and Dream employees were proud to make and collect over 200 boxes to launch the Saskatchewan chapters.
