About Trinity
Trinity is a privately owned company that has developed, owned, leased and managed retail shopping centres across Canada since 1992.
Since 1992
Company overview
Trinity was founded in 1992 by John Ruddy to focus on large-format retail centres, which were then an emerging category of real estate. Since then, Trinity has built more than 32 million square feet of retail, commercial and residential space. Today, Trinity develops, owns, leases and manages retail shopping centres across Canada.
Trinity is privately owned and acts as both owner and manager of its centres. A fully integrated team within the company is responsible for acquisitions, financing, leasing, asset management and property management, and the value of each centre is built through leasing and day-to-day operations.
Centres are held directly and through limited partnership funds. Acquisitions and dispositions are reported under News.

How Trinity creates value
Trinity creates value through the active management of the centres it owns and manages: increasing NOI and a focus on national tenants. Four disciplines within the company share that responsibility.
Underwriting and due diligence
Trinity looks where others do not: its thoughtful diligence process, coupled with an integrated in-house team, has led to years of stability and outsized returns.
Leasing
Trinity’s leasing team markets available space across the portfolio and negotiates leases with national, regional and local retailers; most of Trinity’s tenants are national and regional retailers. The team manages the tenant mix at each centre and maintains direct relationships with tenants and retail brokers.
Search available space →Property management
Trinity’s property management team is responsible for the day-to-day operation of each centre, including maintenance, common areas and service to tenants. The team works with each tenant from store opening onward and resolves operational matters with direct access to Trinity’s other departments.
Tenant services →Asset management
Trinity’s asset management function oversees the financial and operating performance of each centre. It sets leasing and operating priorities for each property, plans the capital work required to maintain its centres over the long term, arranges accretive property-level financing, and reports results to investors.
Portfolio
Trinity’s retail shopping centres are concentrated in major Canadian markets, principally the Greater Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Montréal regions.
Centre counts reflect the centres currently listed for lease.
Charitable giving
Community
Trinity holds that companies which prosper have a responsibility to the communities from which they benefit, and should be long-term, reliable partners to them.
