Description
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT, or HomeCo, is an externally managed property trust run by HMC Capital which also runs HealthCo Healthcare and Wellness REIT and unlisted funds. HomeCo targets 50% of assets in neighborhood malls, 30% large-format, and 20% in health and services. After merging with Aventus Retail REIT in 2022, HomeCo is overweight large-format (just under half its portfolio) and underweight neighborhood (one third of the portfolio), with health and services slightly below target. The plan is to move back to the target via redevelopment and tenant remixing, and potentially acquisitions. HomeCo seeks tenant leases before commencing developments, so we expect development opportunities will arise gradually, as population growth adds demand in HomeCo’s catchments.
