SITQ Profile

Born Under the Sign of Financial Strategy

In May 1984, a group of financial institutions and pension funds, under the leadership of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (the Caisse), founded SITQ. This new company took over the six buildings belonging to the Caisse, with a mandate to develop and manage this real estate portfolio.

SITQ would be driven by three objectives, which would enable the shareholders to…

1.   Give themselves access to the real estate market by organizing a top-flight team in an industry that demands expertise in many different areas.
2.   Be more directly involved in managing their real estate portfolio, a sector where investors’ motivations are generally more complex than those associated with simple investment.
3.   Establish a communication network rooted in the real estate sector, that is institutional and francophone, and essential in a cyclical and highly regulated industry.

Tradition of excellence

Since its inception in 1984, SITQ has upheld a tradition of excellence that has made it a leader in the North American and Western European real estate industries. Founded by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec with $9 million in invested capital, SITQ today holds a $12.4-billion, portfolio, composed of prestigious office buildings and business parks located in major cities in Canada, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Germany. Together, these properties represent over 39.6 million square feet (3.7 million m2) of space.

SITQ draws strength and stability from its shareholders, namely the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (which owns a 92.4% interest), the Régime de rentes du Mouvement Desjardins, Alcan Canada Master Trust, the Association de bienfaisance et de retraite des policiers et policières de la Ville de Montréal, the Fonds commun de placement des régimes de retraite de l’Université Laval and the Fiducie globale des régimes de retraite de la Société de transport de Montréal.

Backed by a team of 400 employees, SITQ owes its success to its solid investment and asset management know-how, its proven insight into the real estate development sector and the rigour and quality of its property management. The Company has its head office at Centre CDP Capital in Montréal, business offices in Montréal and Calgary and a Canada-wide presence through its interest in Bentall Capital Limited Partnership (Bentall). In Europe, SITQ also has offices in Paris, France, in Frankfurt, Germany, and in Brussels, Belgium.
