Established in 1946 and transitioned into a SOCIMI in 2017, Colonial focuses on Class A office properties with a strategy revolving around sustainable buildings, energy efficiency, and urban office space redevelopment. The company demonstrates strong rental growth, high occupancy, and pricing power due to unique positioning in supply-constrained, prime city markets, with leadership in sustainable assets and cross-border expansion enabling robust tenant demand and premium rents.
