The HOOPP real estate portfolio involves the investment in commercial (industrial, office and retail) and residential real estate to produce steady cash flow and the potential for capital appreciation.
These income streams have a high degree of reliability and can act as a good hedge against inflation. This makes real estate a good match for current income requirements and managing our members’ future retirement benefits.

We are a global leader in sustainable real estate practices with approximately 60 million square feet in real assets across more than 270 properties in Canada, the United States and Europe.
