NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST | |
NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST | 1. NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST Effective January 3, 2013, Granite Real Estate Inc. (“Granite Co.”) completed its conversion from a corporate structure to a stapled unit real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure. All of the common shares of Granite Co. were exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for stapled units, each of which consists of one unit of Granite Real Estate Investment Trust ("Granite REIT") and one common share of Granite REIT Inc. ("Granite GP"). Granite REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended, limited purpose trust established under and governed by the laws of the province of Ontario and created pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated September 28, 2012 as subsequently amended and restated on June 9, 2022. Granite GP was incorporated on September 28, 2012 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Granite REIT, Granite GP and their subsidiaries (together "Granite" or the "Trust") are carrying on the business previously conducted by Granite Co . The stapled units trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the New York Stock Exchange. The principal office of Granite REIT is 77 King Street West, Suite 4010, P.O. Box 159, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1H1, Canada. The registered office of Granite GP is 1133 Melville Street, Suite 3500, The Stack, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5, Canada. The Trust is a Canadian-based REIT engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of logistics, warehouse and industrial properties in North America and Europe. These combined financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees of Granite REIT and Board of Directors of Granite GP on February 28, 2024. |

Disclosure of initial application of standards or interpretations [abstract] | |
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION | 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION The accounting policies described below were applied consistently to all periods presented in these combined financial statements. (a) Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). (b) Combined Financial Statements and Basis of Consolidation As a result of the REIT conversion described in note 1, the Trust does not have a single parent; however, each unit of Granite REIT and each share of Granite GP trade as a single stapled unit and accordingly, Granite REIT and Granite GP have identical ownership. Therefore, these financial statements have been prepared on a combined basis whereby the assets, liabilities and results of Granite GP and Granite REIT have been combined. The combined financial statements include the subsidiaries of Granite GP and Granite REIT. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated by Granite GP or Granite REIT from the date of acquisition, being the date on which control is obtained. The subsidiaries continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control exists when Granite GP or Granite REIT have power, exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to use their power over the entity to affect the amount of returns it generates. All intercompany balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated. (c) Trust Units The stapled units are redeemable at the option of the holder and, therefore, are required to be accounted for as financial liabilities, except where certain exemption conditions are met, in which case redeemable instruments may be classified as equity. The attributes of the stapled units meet the exemption conditions set out in IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and are, therefore, presented as equity on the combined balance sheets. (d) Investment Properties The Trust accounts for its investment properties, which include income-producing properties, properties under development and land held for development, in accordance with IAS 40, Investment Property . For acquired investment properties that meet the definition of a business, the acquisition is accounted for as a business combination (note 2(e)); otherwise they are initially measured at cost including directly attributable expenses. Subsequent to acquisition, investment properties are carried at fair value, which is determined based on available market evidence at the balance sheet date including, among other things, rental revenue from current leases and reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent what knowledgeable, willing parties would assume about rental revenue from future leases less future cash outflows in respect of capital expenditures. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in net income in the period of change. Income-Producing Properties The carrying value of income-producing properties includes the impact of straight-line rental revenue (note 2(j)), tenant incentives and deferred leasing costs since these amounts are incorporated in the determination of the fair value of income-producing properties. When an income-producing property is disposed of, the gain or loss is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds, net of selling costs, and the carrying amount of the property and is recognized in net income in the period of disposal. Properties Under Development The Trust’s development properties are classified as such until the property is substantially completed and available for occupancy. The initial cost of properties under development includes the acquisition cost of the land and direct development or expansion costs, including construction costs, borrowing costs and indirect costs wholly attributable to development. Borrowing costs are capitalized to projects under development or construction based on the average accumulated expenditures outstanding during the period multiplied by the Trust’s average borrowing rate on existing debt. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross borrowing cost incurred on such borrowings less any investment income arising on temporary investment of these borrowings. The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods that development activity is interrupted. The Trust capitalizes direct and indirect costs, including property taxes and insurance of the development property, if activities necessary to ready the development property for its intended use are in progress. Costs of internal personnel and other indirect costs that are wholly attributable to a project are capitalized as incurred. If considered reliably measurable, properties under development are carried at fair value. Properties under development are measured at cost if fair value is not reliably measurable. In determining the fair value of properties under development consideration is given to, among other things, remaining construction costs, development risk, the stage of project completion and the reliability of cash inflows after project completion. (e) Business Combinations The Trust accounts for property acquisitions as a business combination if the particular assets and set of activities acquired can be operated and managed as a business in their current state for the purpose of providing a return to the unitholders. In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations , the acquired set of activities and assets in an acquisition must include an input and a substantive process to qualify as a business. IFRS 3 amendments, effective January 1, 2020, provide for an optional concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The Trust applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for a business combination is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Trust. The total consideration includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired as well as liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The Trust recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration that is recorded as an asset or liability is recognized in net income. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the identifiable net assets acquired. If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in net income. (f) Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is satisfied when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, management is committed to the sale and the sale is highly probable to occur within one year. (g) Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of the Trust’s foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case, for material transactions, the exchange rates at the dates of those transactions are used. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income and accumulated in equity. In preparing the financial statements of each entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the average rates of exchange prevailing in the period. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in net income in the period in which they arise except for: • The effective portion of exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income; • Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation) are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income; and • Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings related to capitalized interest for assets under construction are recognized in investment properties. (h) Financial Instruments and Hedging Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The following summarizes the Trust’s classification and measurement basis of its financial assets and liabilities: Classification and Measurement Basis Financial assets Long-term receivables included in other assets Amortized Cost Derivatives Fair Value Loan receivable Amortized Cost Accounts receivable Amortized Cost Foreign exchange collar contracts Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents Amortized Cost Financial liabilities Unsecured debentures, net Amortized Cost Unsecured term loans, net Amortized Cost Secured debt Amortized Cost Derivatives Fair Value Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized Cost Foreign exchange collar contracts Fair Value Distributions payable Amortized Cost The Trust recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The impact of the credit loss modeling process is summarized as follows: • The Trust did not record an ECL allowance against long-term receivables as historical experience of loss on these balances is insignificant and, based on the assessment of forward-looking information, no significant increases in losses are expected. The Trust will continue to assess the valuation of these instruments. • The Trust did not record an ECL allowance against accounts receivable and loan receivable and has determined that its internal processes of evaluating each receivable on a specific basis for collectability using historical experience and adjusted for forward-looking information, would appropriately allow the Trust to determine if there are significant increases in credit risk to then record a corresponding ECL allowance. For financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, the liability is amortized using the effective interest rate method. Under the effective interest rate method, any transaction fees, costs, discounts and premiums directly related to the financial liabilities are recognized in net income over the expected life of the obligation. In regards to modifications to financial liabilities, when a financial liability measured at amortized cost is modified or exchanged, and such modification or exchange does not result in derecognition, the adjustment to the amortized cost of the financial liability as a result of the modification or exchange is recognized in net income. Derivatives and Hedging Derivative instruments, such as the cross currency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange collar contracts, are recorded in the combined balance sheet at fair value, including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the combined statements of net income. The Trust utilizes derivative financial instruments from time to time in the management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Trust’s policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Trust applies hedge accounting to certain derivative and non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments in subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge relationship is terminated or no longer qualifies as a hedge, or when the hedging item is sold or terminated. In a net investment hedging relationship, the effective portion of foreign exchange gains or losses on the hedging instruments is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income and the ineffective portion is recognized in net income. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in net income when there is a disposition or partial disposition of the foreign subsidiary. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform In August 2020, the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ; IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures ; IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ; IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16, Leases, which addresses issues that might affect financial reporting once an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative benchmark interest rate and provides specific disclosure requirements. The amendments introduce a practical expedient for modifications of financial instruments, where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes as a result of the Interbank Offer Rate (“IBOR”) reform, allowing for prospective application of the alternative benchmark interest rate. In addition, the amendments relate to the application of hedge accounting, providing an exception such that changes in the formal designation and documentation of hedge accounting relationships that are needed to reflect the changes required by IBOR reform do not result in the discontinuation of hedge accounting or the designation of new hedging relationships. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As some of the Trust's unsecured debt and related derivatives have been or will be impacted by the IBOR reform, the reformed IFRS guidance has been adopted. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Trust's combined financial statements. Refer to note 8 for details of the unsecured debt and related derivatives that have been or will be affected by the IBOR reform and the transition plan that the Trust has executed to alternative benchmark interest rates. (i) Leases The Trust recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation at the lease commencement date, in accordance with IFRS 16, Leases . The Trust accounts for its right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property as fixed assets. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and, subsequently, at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease obligation. When a right-of-use asset meets the definition of investment property, it is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value (note 2(d)). The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Trust’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Trust uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease obligation is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or, as appropriate, a change in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. (j) Revenue Recognition Where Granite has retained substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of its rental properties, leases with its tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of the Trust’s rental properties have been transferred to its tenants, the Trust’s leases are accounted for as finance leases. All of the Trust’s current leases are operating leases. Revenue from investment properties includes base rents earned from tenants under lease agreements, property tax and operating cost recoveries and other incidental income. Rents from tenants may contain rent escalation clauses or free rent periods which are recognized in revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between the revenue recognized and the contractual rent is included in investment properties as straight-line rents receivable. In addition, tenant incentives including cash allowances provided to tenants are recognized as a reduction in rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease where it is determined that the tenant fixturing has no benefit to the property beyond the existing tenancy. Property tax and operating cost recoveries from tenants are recognized as revenue in the period in which applicable costs are incurred. (k) Unit-based Compensation Plans Executive Deferred Stapled Unit Plan The executive deferred stapled unit plan is measured at fair value at the date of grant and amortized to compensation expense from the effective date of the grant to the final vesting date. Compensation expense is recognized on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant. Compensation expense for executive deferred stapled units granted under the plan is recognized in general and administrative expenses with a corresponding liability recognized based upon the fair value of the Trust’s stapled units as the Trust is an open-ended trust making its units redeemable. During the period in which the executive deferred stapled units are outstanding, for grants with no performance criteria, the liability is adjusted for changes in the market value of the Trust’s stapled unit, and for grants with performance criteria, the liability is measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model (note 13), with both such adjustments being recognized as compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the period in which they occur. The liability balance is reduced as deferred stapled units are forfeited or settled for stapled units and recorded in equity. Director/Trustee Deferred Share Unit Plan The compensation expense and a corresponding liability associated with the director/trustee deferred share unit plan are measured based on the market value of the underlying stapled units. During the period in which the awards are outstanding, the liability is adjusted for changes in the market value of the underlying stapled unit, with such positive or negative adjustments being recognized in general and administrative expenses in the period in which they occur. The liability balance is settled for cash or stapled units when a director/trustee ceases to be a member of the Board. (l) Income Taxes Operations in Canada Granite qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”) and as such the Trust itself will not be subject to income taxes provided it continues to qualify as a REIT for purposes of the Act. A REIT is not taxable and not considered to be a Specified Investment Flow-through Trust provided it complies with certain tests and it distributes all of its taxable income in a taxation year to its unitholders. The Trust’s qualification as a REIT results in no current or deferred income tax being recognized in the combined financial statements for income taxes related to the Canadian investment properties. Operations in the United States The Trust’s investment property operations in the United States are conducted in a qualifying United States REIT (“US REIT”) for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a qualifying US REIT, it is not taxable provided it complies with certain tests in addition to the requirement to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. As a qualifying US REIT, current income taxes on U.S. taxable income have not been recorded in the combined financial statements. However, the Trust has recorded deferred income taxes that may arise on the disposition of its investment properties as the Trust will likely be subject to entity level income tax in connection with such transactions pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. Operations in Europe The Trust consolidates certain entities that continue to be subject to income tax. Income taxes for taxable entities in Europe, as well as other entities in Canada or the United States subject to tax, are recorded as follows: Current Income Tax The current income tax expense is determined on the basis of enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws at each balance sheet date. Deferred Income Tax Deferred income tax is recorded, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported on the combined financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that deductions, tax credits or tax losses will be utilized. Each of the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they are levied by the same taxation authority in either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities within the same reporting group that settle on a net basis. (m) Si gnificant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the combined financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions utilized in preparing the combined financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could be materially different and require an adjustment to the reported results. Judgments The following are the critical judgments that have been made in applying the Trust’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the combined financial statements: (i) Leases The Trust’s policy for revenue recognition is described in note 2(j). The Trust makes judgments in determining whether certain leases are operating or finance leases, in particular tenant leases with long contractual terms or leases where the property is a large square-footage and/or architecturally specialized. The Trust also makes judgments in determining the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal or termination options. The assessment of whether the Trust is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term which, in turn, significantly affects the amount of lease obligations and right-of-use assets recognized. (ii) Investment Properties The Trust’s policy relating to investment properties is described in note 2(d). In applying this policy, judgment is used in determining whether certain costs incurred for tenant improvements are additions to the carrying amount of the property or represent incentives, identifying the point at which practical completion of properties under development occurs and determining borrowing costs to be capitalized to the carrying value of properties under development. Judgment is also applied in determining the use, extent and frequency of independent appraisals. (iii) Income Taxes The Trust applies judgment in determining whether it will continue to qualify as a REIT for both Canadian and U.S. tax purposes for the foreseeable future. However, should it at some point no longer qualify, it would be subject to income tax and would be required to recognize current and deferred income taxes. Estimates and Assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities include the following: (i) Valuation of Investment Properties The fair value of investment properties is determined by management using primarily the discounted cash flow method in which the income and expenses are projected over the anticipated term of the investment plus a subsequent reversionary value discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The Trust obtains, from time to time, appraisals from independent qualified real estate valuation experts. However, the Trust does not value its investment properties based on these appraisals but uses them as data points, alongside other external market information for management to arrive at its own conclusions on values. Management receives valuation assumptions from external appraisers such as discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rental rates, however, the Trust also considers its knowledge of historical renewal experiences with its tenants, its understanding of certain specialized aspects of the Trust’s portfolio and tenant profile, and its knowledge of the current condition of the properties to determine proprietary market leasing assumptions, including lease renewal probabilities, renewal rents and capital expenditures. The critical assumptions relating to the Trust’s estimates of fair values of investment properties include contractual rents, contractual renewal terms, expected future market rental rates, discount rates that reflect current market uncertainties, capitalization rates and recent investment property prices. If there is any change in these assumptions or regional, national or international economic conditions, the fair value of investment properties may change materially. Refer to note 4 for further information on the estimates and assumptions made by management. (ii) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Where the fair value of financial assets or liabilities recorded on the combined balance sheet or disclosed in the notes cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow method. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could materially affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. (iii) Income Taxes The Trust operates in a number of countries and is subject to the income tax laws and related tax treaties in each of its operating jurisdictions. These laws and treaties can be subject to different interpretations by relevant taxation authorities. Significant judgment is required in the estimation of Granite’s income tax expense, the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws and treaties and the provision for any exposure that may arise from tax positions that are under audit by relevant taxation authorities. The recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities is dependent on management’s estimate of future taxable profits and income tax rates that are expected to be in effect in the period the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Any changes in management’s estimate can result in changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities as reported in the combined balance sheets and also the deferred income tax expense in the combined statements of net income. (n) Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023 In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements , IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements and IAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors . The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The Trust has adopted these amendments effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Trust's combined financial statements. (o) Future Changes in Accounting Standards In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements , to clarify its requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position. The limited scope amendment affected only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendment clarified that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specified that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. It also introduced a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments are effective January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted and the amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Trust does not expect these amendments to have a material impact on its combined financial statements. |

Fair values were primarily determined by using a 10-year cash flow and subsequent reversionary value discounted back to present value. The fair values of properties under development are measured using a discounted cash flow model, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date. The valuation metrics utilized to derive the Trust’s investment property valuations are determined by management. The Trust does not value its investment properties based on models prepared by external appraisers but uses such external appraisals as data points, alongside other external market information for management to arrive at its own conclusions on values. Management receives valuation assumptions from external appraisers such as discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rental rates, however, the Trust also considers its knowledge of historical renewal experiences with its tenants, its understanding of certain specialized aspects of the Trust’s portfolio and tenant profile, and its knowledge of the current condition of the properties to determine proprietary market leasing assumptions, including lease renewal probabilities, renewal rents and capital expenditures. There has been no change in the valuation methodology during the year. Included in investment properties as at December 31, 2023 is $64.0 million (2022 — $48.6 million) of net straight-line rent receivables arising from the recognition of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

UNSECURED DEBT AND RELATED DERIVATIVES | 8. UNSECURED DEBT AND RELATED DERIVATIVES Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility On March 3, 2023, the Trust amended its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the ‘‘Credit Facility’’) to extend the maturity date for a new five-year term to March 31, 2028, with a limit of $1.0 billion. The Trust also amended the benchmark rates from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), including a fixed spread for the basis difference between LIBOR and SOFR, for US dollar denominated draws and from LIBOR to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") for Euro denominated draws. Such amendments to the benchmark rates resulted in no economic impact to Granite’s borrowing rates. As it is anticipated that the administrator of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") will cease publication of CDOR by June 28, 2024 and the Canadian financial benchmark will be replaced by the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA"), the Trust's Credit Facility contains fallback provisions to transition from CDOR to CORRA for Canadian dollar denominated draws when CDOR is discontinued. Draws on the Credit Facility are available by way of Canadian dollar, US dollar or Euro denominated loans or Canadian dollar or US dollar denominated letters of credit. The Credit Facility provides the Trust the ability to increase the amount of the commitment by an additional aggregate principal amount of up to $450.0 million with the consent of the participating lenders. While the Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2028, the Trust has the option to extend the maturity date by one year to March 31, 2029, subject to the agreement of lenders in respect of a minimum of 66 2/3% of the aggregate amount committed under the Credit Facility. As at December 31, 2023, the Trust had no amount drawn (2022 — nil) on the Credit Facility and $2.9 million (2022 — $3.5 million) in letters of credit issued against the Credit Facility.

Interest on the 2023 Debentures was payable semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year. Deferred financing costs of $2.2 million were incurred and recorded as a reduction against the carrying value. The 2023 Debentures were redeemable, in whole or in part, at Granite’s option at any time and from time to time, at a price equal to accrued and unpaid interest plus the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Debentures to be redeemed; and (b) the Canada Yield Price. The Canada Yield Price means, in respect of a 2023 Debenture, a price equal to which, if the 2023 Debenture were to be issued at such price on the redemption date, would provide a yield thereon from the redemption date to its maturity date equal to 62.5 basis points above the yield that a non-callable Government of Canada bond, trading at par, would carry if issued on the redemption date with a maturity date of November 30, 2023. On November 30, 2023, Granite LP repaid in full the outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Debentures. In conjunction with the repayment, the mark to market liability of $18.5 million relating to the 2023 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap was settled. 2027 Debentures On June 4, 2020, Granite LP issued at par $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.062% Series 4 senior debentures due June 4, 2027 (the “2027 Debentures”). Interest on the 2027 Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 4 and December 4 of each year. Deferred financing costs of $3.0 million were incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2027 Debentures and are recorded as a reduction against the carrying value. The 2027 Debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at Granite’s option at any time and from time to time, at a price equal to accrued and unpaid interest plus the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Debentures to be redeemed; and (b) the Canada Yield Price. The Canada Yield Price means, in respect of a 2027 Debenture, a price equal to which, if the 2027 Debenture were to be issued at such price on the redemption date, would provide a yield thereon from the redemption date to its maturity date equal to 65.0 basis points above the yield that a non-callable Government of Canada bond, trading at par, would carry if issued on the redemption date with a maturity date of June 4, 2027. Granite also has the option to redeem the 2027 Debentures at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest within two months of the maturity date of June 4, 2027. 2028 Debentures On August 30, 2021, Granite LP issued at par $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.194% Series 6 senior unsecured debentures due August 30, 2028 (the “2028 Debentures”).

The Canada Yield Price means, in respect of a 2028 Debenture, a price equal to which, if the 2028 Debenture were to be issued at such price on the redemption date, would provide a yield thereon from the redemption date to its maturity date equal to 28.5 basis points above the yield that a non-callable Government of Canada bond, trading at par, would carry if issued on the redemption date with a maturity date of August 30, 2028. Granite also has the option to redeem the 2028 Debentures at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest within two months of the maturity date of August 30, 2028. 2029 Debentures On October 12, 2023, Granite LP issued at par $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.074% Series 7 senior unsecured debentures due April 12, 2029 (the “2029 Debentures”).

The Canada Yield Price means, in respect of a 2029 Debenture, a price equal to which, if the 2029 Debenture were to be issued at such price on the redemption date, would provide a yield thereon from the redemption date to its maturity date equal to 50.5 basis points above the yield that a non-callable Government of Canada bond, trading at par, would carry if issued on the redemption date with a maturity date of April 12, 2029. Granite also has the option to redeem the 2029 Debentures at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest within one month of the maturity date of April 12, 2029. 2030 Debentures On December 18, 2020, Granite LP issued at par $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.378% Series 5 senior debentures due December 18, 2030 (the “2030 Debentures”). Interest on the 2030 Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 18 and December 18 of each year. Deferred financing costs of $3.0 million were incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Debentures and are recorded as a reduction against the carrying value.

On October 10, 2019, Granite refinanced the US$185.0 million term facility and extended the maturity date two years to December 19, 2024 (the “2024 Term Loan”). The 2024 Term Loan is fully prepayable without penalty. Any amount repaid may not be re-borrowed. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on SOFR (previously LIBOR) plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the external credit rating of Granite LP and is payable monthly in arrears. Deferred financing costs of $0.8 million were incurred and are recorded as a reduction against the carrying value. In conjunction with the extension, the previously existing cross currency interest rate swap associated with the term facility was terminated on September 24, 2019 and blended into a new cross currency interest rate swap (note 8 (c) ). The 2024 Term Loan’s interest was initially based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, but as the Federal Reserve Board discontinued the publication of the US dollar LIBOR benchmark rates on June 30, 2023 and replaced it with SOFR, on April 19, 2023, Granite amended the 2024 Term Loan and 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap to update the benchmark rates in these agreements from LIBOR to SOFR, including a fixed spread for the basis difference between LIBOR and SOFR, without any economic impact or change to Granite's risk management strategy. 2025 Term Loan On September 15, 2022, Granite LP entered into and fully drew upon a US$400.0 million senior unsecured non-revolving term facility that will mature on September 15, 2025 (the “2025 Term Loan”). The 2025 Term Loan is fully prepayable without penalty. Any amount repaid may not be re-borrowed. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on SOFR plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the external credit rating of Granite LP and is payable monthly in arrears. Deferred financing costs of $0.7 million were incurred and are recorded as a reduction against the carrying value. September 2026 Term Loan On September 7, 2023, Granite LP entered into and fully drew upon a €70.0 million senior unsecured non-revolving term facility that will mature on September 8, 2026 (the “September 2026 Term Loan”). The September 2026 Term Loan is fully prepayable without penalty. Any amount repaid may not be re-borrowed. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on EURIBOR plus a margin and is payable monthly in arrears. Deferred financing costs of $0.2 million were incurred and are recorded as a reduction against the carrying value. December 2026 Term Loan On December 12, 2018, Granite LP entered into and fully drew upon a $300.0 million senior unsecured non-revolving term facility that originally matured on December 12, 2025. On November 27, 2019, Granite refinanced the $300.0 million term facility and extended the maturity date one year to December 11, 2026 (the “December 2026 Term Loan”). The December 2026 Term Loan is fully prepayable without penalty. Any amount repaid may not be re-borrowed. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on CDOR plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the external credit rating of Granite LP and is payable monthly in advance. Deferred financing costs of $1.5 million were incurred and are recorded as a reduction against the carrying value. In conjunction with the extension, the previously existing cross currency interest rate swap associated with the term facility was settled on November 27, 2019 and a new cross currency interest rate swap was entered into (note 8(c)). As a result of the anticipated cessation of the publication of CDOR by June 28, 2024 and the Canadian financial benchmark being replaced by CORRA, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2023, on February 8, 2024, Granite amended the December 2026 Term Loan and December 2026 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap to update the benchmark rates in these agreements from CDOR to CORRA including a fixed spread for the basis difference between CDOR and CORRA, without any economic impact or change to Granite's risk management strategy. The 2027 Debentures, 2028 Debentures, 2029 Debentures, 2030 Debentures, 2024 Term Loan, 2025 Term Loan, September 2026 Term Loan and December 2026 Term Loan rank pari passu with all of Granite LP’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and are guaranteed by Granite REIT and Granite GP.

(2) On September 15, 2022, Granite LP entered into a float to fixed interest rate swap (the “2025 Interest Rate Swap”) to exchange the floating SOFR portion of the interest payments of the 2025 Term Loan for fixed interest payments resulting in an all-in fixed interest rate of 5.016%. (3) On September 8, 2023, Granite LP entered into a float to fixed interest rate swap (the “September 2026 Interest Rate Swap”) to exchange the floating EURIBOR-based interest payments of the September 2026 Term Loan for fixed interest payments resulting in an all-in fixed interest rate of 4.333%. (4) On February 3, 2022, Granite terminated $350.0 million of a total $500.0 million principal of the 2028 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap and simultaneously entered into a new $350.0 million cross-currency interest rate swap maturing August 30, 2028, to exchange the Canadian dollar denominated principal and interest payments of the 2028 Debentures for Euro denominated payments at a fixed interest rate of 0.536%. Upon termination, Granite paid $6.6 million to settle the mark-to-market liability relating to the $350.0 million principal portion of the 2028 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap. (5) On October 10, 2023, Granite LP entered into a cross currency interest rate swap (the "2029 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap"), which commenced on October 12, 2023 to exchange the Canadian dollar denominated principal and interest payments of the 2029 Debentures for Euro denominated principal and interest payments resulting in an all-in effective fixed interest rate of 4.929%. (6) On April 19, 2023, Granite amended the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap to update the benchmark rate in the agreement from LIBOR to SOFR, including a fixed spread for the basis difference between LIBOR and SOFR, without any economic impact or change to Granite's risk management strategy. (7) Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2023, on February 8, 2024, Granite amended the December 2026 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap to update the benchmark rate in the agreement from CDOR to CORRA, including a fixed spread for the basis difference between CDOR and CORRA, without any economic impact or change to Granite's risk management strategy (note 8(b)). As at December 31, 2023 2022 Financial assets at fair value Non-current $ 100,200 $ 151,855 Current 9,042 — $ 109,242 $ 151,855 Financial liabilities at fair value Non-current $ 8,429 $ 6,391 Current — 7,076 $ 8,429 $ 13,467 For the year ended December 31, 2023, the cross currency interest rate swaps, the combination of the 2025 Term Loan and 2025 Interest Rate Swap, the combination of the September 2026 Term Loan and September 2026 Interest Rate Swap, and the EUR denominated draws under the Credit Facility are designated as net investment hedges of the Trust’s investments in foreign operations ("Net Investment Hedges"). The effectiveness of the hedges is assessed quarterly. Gains and losses associated with the effective portion of the hedges are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Trust has assessed the Net Investment Hedges, except for the 2023 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (for the period from October 12, 2023 to November 30, 2023), a portion of the 2024 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap, a portion of the combination of the 2025 Term Loan and 2025 Interest Rate Swap, and a portion of the combination of the September 2026 Term Loan and September 2026 Interest Rate Swap, to be effective. On October 12, 2023, as a result of the designation of the 2029 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap, the Trust de-designated the 2023 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap. Since the Trust did not employ hedge accounting for the 2023 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap from the period October 12, 2023 to November 30, 2023, a fair value loss of $12.4 million is recognized in fair value losses (gains) on financial instruments, net (note 14(e)) in the combined statement of net income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, a net fair value loss of $20.4 million has been recognized in fair value losses (gains) on financial instruments, net (note 14(e)) in the combined statement of net income, due to the de-designation of the 2023 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (from the period October 12, 2023 to November 30, 2023) and the ineffectiveness relating to the interest rate portion of certain hedging relationships described above. |

STAPLED UNITHOLDERS' EQUITY | 13. STAPLED UNITHOLDERS' EQUITY Stapled Units The stapled units consist of one unit of Granite REIT and one common share of Granite GP. Granite REIT is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units. Granite GP’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. Each stapled unit is entitled to distributions and/or dividends in the case of Granite GP as and when declared and, in the event of termination of Granite REIT and Granite GP, to the net assets of Granite REIT and Granite GP remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities. Unit-Based Compensation Incentive Stock Option Plan The Incentive Stock Option Plan allows for the grant of stock options or stock appreciation rights to directors, officers, employees and consultants. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no options outstanding under this plan. Director/Trustee Deferred Share Unit Plan The Trust has two Non-Employee Director Share-Based Compensation Plans (the “DSPs”) which provide for a deferral of up to 100% of each non-employee director’s total annual remuneration, at specified levels elected by each director. The amounts deferred under the DSPs are reflected by notional deferred share units (“DSUs”) whose value at the time that the particular payment to the director is determined reflects the fair market value of a stapled unit. The value of a DSU subsequently appreciates or depreciates with changes in the market price of the stapled units. The DSPs also provide for the accrual of notional distribution equivalents on any distributions paid on the stapled units. On June 9, 2022, amendments were made to the DSPs to allow, at the discretion of the Compensation, Governance and Nominating Committee (the "CGN Committee)" for the DSUs to be settled in cash or stapled units, equal to the value of the accumulated DSUs at such date. A reconciliation of the changes in the DSUs outstanding is presented below: 2023 2022 Number (000s) Weighted Average Grant Date Number (000s) Weighted Average Grant Date DSUs outstanding, January 1 101 $64.58 85 $58.50 New grants and distributions 22 70.71 16 97.41 DSUs outstanding, December 31 123 $65.70 101 $64.58 Executive Deferred Stapled Unit Plan The Executive Stapled Unit Plan (the “Restricted Stapled Unit Plan”) of the Trust provides for the issuance of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) and is designed to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stapled units to executives and other employees (the “Participants”). The maximum number of stapled units which may be issued pursuant to the Restricted Stapled Unit Plan is 1.0 million. The Restricted Stapled Unit Plan entitles a Participant to receive a stapled unit or a cash payment equal to the market value of the stapled unit, which on any date is the volume weighted average trading price of a stapled unit on the Toronto Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange over the preceding five A reconciliation of the changes in notional stapled units outstanding under the Restricted Stapled Unit Plan is presented below: 2023 2022 Number (000s) Weighted Average Number (000s) Weighted Average RSUs and PSUs outstanding, January 1 124 $ 87.18 128 $ 67.19 New grants and distributions (1) 80 71.80 58 101.30 Forfeited (3) 81.54 — 88.02 PSUs added by performance factor 27 83.37 27 96.22 Settled in cash (42) 80.32 (45) 69.89 Settled in stapled units (41) 80.32 (44) 69.89 RSUs and PSUs outstanding, December 31 (2) 145 $ 81.93 124 $ 87.18 (1) Includes 40.1 RSUs and 34.4 PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022 — 29.6 RSUs and 22.0 PSUs). (2) Total restricted stapled units outstanding at December 31, 2023 include a total of 58.4 RSUs and 86.8 PSUs granted (2022 — 47.3 RSUs and 76.2 PSUs). The fair value of the outstanding RSUs was $3.6 million at December 31, 2023 and is based on the market price of the Trust’s stapled unit. The fair value is adjusted for changes in the market price of the Trust’s stapled unit and recorded as a liability in the employee unit-based compensation payables (note 11). The fair value of the outstanding PSUs was $4.2 million at December 31, 2023 and is recorded as a liability in the employee unit-based compensation payables (note 11). The fair value is calculated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model based on the assumptions below as well as a market adjustment factor based on the total unitholder return of the Trust's stapled units relative to the S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index.

Normal Course Issuer Bid On May 19, 2023, Granite announced the acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") of Granite’s Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Pursuant to the NCIB, Granite proposes to purchase through the facilities of the TSX and any alternative trading system in Canada, from time to time and if considered advisable, up to an aggregate of 6,349,296 of Granite’s issued and outstanding stapled units. The NCIB commenced on May 24, 2023 and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed and May 23, 2024. Pursuant to the policies of the TSX, daily purchases made by Granite through the TSX may not exceed 30,468 stapled units, subject to certain exceptions. Granite has entered into an automatic securities purchase plan with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases of the stapled units under the NCIB during specified blackout periods. Pursuant to a previous notice of intention to conduct a NCIB, Granite received approval from the TSX to purchase stapled units for the period May 24, 2022 to May 23, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Granite repurchased 392,700 stapled units at an average stapled unit cost of $68.73 for total consideration of $27.0 million, excluding commissions. The difference between the repurchase price and the average cost of the stapled units of $6.4 million was recorded to contribution surplus. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Granite repurchased 2,165,600 stapled units at an average stapled unit cost of $71.81 for total consideration of $155.5 million, excluding commissions. The difference between the repurchase price and the average cost of the stapled units of $41.7 million was recorded to contributed surplus. At-The-Market Equity Distribution Program On November 3, 2021, Granite filed a prospectus supplement to the base shelf prospectus of Granite REIT and Granite GP establishing an at-the-market equity distribution program (the “ATM Program”), in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, which allowed it to issue and sell, at its discretion, up to $250.0 million of stapled units to the public, from time to time. Stapled units sold under the ATM Program were sold at the prevailing market prices at the time of sale when issued, directly through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other recognized marketplace upon which the stapled units were listed or quoted or where the stapled units were traded in Canada. As at December 31, 2023, there was no active ATM Program. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no stapled units issued under the ATM Program.

(f) The Trust conducts operations in a number of countries with varying statutory rates of taxation. Judgment is required in the estimation of income tax expense and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in each of the Trust’s operating jurisdictions. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure, assessing temporary differences that result from the different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes, assessing whether it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will be realized and, based on all the available evidence, determining if a provision is required on all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets. The Trust reports a liability for uncertain tax positions (‘‘unrecognized tax benefits’’) taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Trust recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As at December 31, 2023, the Trust had $9.8 million (2022 — $10.3 million) of unrecognized income tax benefits, (including $0.1 million (2022 — $0.2 million) related to accrued interest and penalties), all of which could ultimately reduce the Trust’s effective tax rate should these tax benefits become recognized. The Trust believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to tax examinations and that any resolution will not have a material effect on the combined financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Trust cannot predict with any level of certainty the exact nature of any future possible outcome. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: As at December 31, 2023 2022 Unrecognized tax benefits balance, beginning of year $ 10,279 $ 10,470 Decreases for tax positions of prior years (1,815) (1,692) Increases for tax positions of current year 1,244 1,452 Foreign currency impact 87 49 Unrecognized tax benefits balance, end of year $ 9,795 $ 10,279 It is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of December 31, 2023, could decrease in the next 12 months. The quantum of the decrease could range between a nominal amount and $2.2 million (2022 — a nominal amount and $2.6 million) and relates primarily to tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing authorities and the outcome of current tax examinations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, a nominal amount of interest and penalties was recorded (2022 — $0.1 million) as part of the provision for income taxes in the combined statements of net income. As at December 31, 2023, the following tax years remained subject to examination: Major Jurisdictions Canada 2019 through 2023 United States 2019 through 2023 Austria 2018 through 2023 Germany 2016 through 2023 Netherlands 2018 through 2023 As at December 31, 2023, the Trust has approximately $330.7 million (2022 — $285.5 million) of losses and other deductible temporary differences in various tax jurisdictions that the Trust believes are not probable to be realized. As a result, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for these losses and other deductible temporary differences as of December 31, 2023. Included in this number are Canadian capital loss carryforwards that do not expire of $140.9 million (2022 — $140.5 million). The aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized as at December 31, 2023 is approximately $253.9 million (2022 — approximately $194.7 million). |

(2) Balance includes current and non-current portions of derivative assets (note 8(c)). (3) As at December 31, 2023, foreign exchange collars of $0.7 million included in prepaid expenses and other. (4) Balance includes current and non-current portions of unsecured term loans, net (note 8(b)). (5) Balance included current and non-current portions of unsecured debentures, net (note 8(b)). (6) Balance included current and non-current portions of derivative liabilities (note 8(c)). (7) As at December 31, 2022, foreign exchange collars of $2.4 million included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of the Trust’s loan receivable, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and distributions payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the long-term receivable included in other assets approximates its carrying amount as the receivable bears interest at rates comparable to current market rates. The fair values of the unsecured debentures are determined using quoted market prices. The fair values of the secured debt and unsecured term loans approximate their carrying amounts as the secured debt and unsecured term loans bear interest at rates comparable to the current market rates. The fair values of the derivatives and foreign exchange collars are determined using market inputs quoted by their counterparties. The Trust periodically purchases foreign exchange collars to hedge specific anticipated foreign currency transactions and to mitigate its foreign exchange exposure on its net cash flows. At December 31, 2023, the Trust held 6 outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts with a notional value of US$36.0 million and contracts the Trust to sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars if specific US dollar exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar are met. At December 31, 2023, the Trust also held 12 outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts with a notional value of €24.0 million and contracts the Trust to sell Euros and receive Canadian dollars if specific Euro exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar are met. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Trust recorded a net fair value gain of $3.1 million related to the outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts (note 14(e)). The Trust did not employ hedge accounting for these financial instruments. As at December 31, 2022, the Trust held 12 outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts with a notional value of US$72.0 million and contracts the Trust to sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars if specific US dollar exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar are met. As at December 31, 2022, the Trust also held 18 outstanding foreign exchange collars contracts with a notional value of €24.0 million and contracts the Trust to sell Euros and receive Canadian dollars if specific Euro exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar are met. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Trust recorded a net fair value loss of $2.4 million related to the outstanding foreign exchange collar contracts (note 14(e)). The Trust did not employ hedge accounting for these financial instruments. Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value measurements are based on inputs of observable and unobservable market data that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy which is summarized below: Level 1: Fair value determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 3: Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques. The following tables represent information related to the Trust’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall. As at December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED OR DISCLOSED AT FAIR VALUE Assets measured at fair value Investment properties (note 4) $ — $ — $ 8,808,139 Derivatives (note 8) — 109,242 — Foreign exchange collars included in prepaid expenses and other — 650 — Liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value Unsecured debentures, net (note 8) 1,768,920 — — Unsecured term loans, net (note 8) — 1,173,746 — Derivatives (note 8) — 8,429 — Net (liabilities) assets measured or disclosed at fair value $ (1,768,920) $ (1,072,283) $ 8,808,139 As at December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED OR DISCLOSED AT FAIR VALUE Assets measured at fair value Investment properties (note 4) $ — $ — $ 8,839,571 Assets held for sale (note 5) — — 41,182 Derivatives (note 8) — 151,855 — Loan receivable (note 7) — 69,186 — Liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value Unsecured debentures, net (note 8) 1,672,290 — — Unsecured term loans, net (note 8) — 1,090,451 — Secured debt (note 9) — 51,373 — Foreign exchange collars included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities — 2,426 — Derivatives (note 8) — 13,467 — Net (liabilities) assets measured or disclosed at fair value $ (1,672,290) $ (936,676) $ 8,880,753 For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Trust determines whether transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy have occurred by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between the levels. Refer to note 4, Investment Properties, for a description of the valuation technique and inputs used in the fair value measurement and for a reconciliation of the fair value measurements of investment properties which are recognized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Risk Management The main risks arising from the Trust’s financial instruments are credit, interest rate, foreign exchange and liquidity risks. The Trust’s approach to managing these risks is summarized below: (i) Credit risk The Trust’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, loan receivable and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments, such as term deposits, which are invested in governments and financial institutions with a minimum credit rating of BBB+ (based on Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) rating scale) or Baa1 (based on Moody’s Investor Services’ (“Moody’s”) rating scale). Concentration of credit risk is further reduced by limiting the amount that is invested in any one government or financial institution according to its credit rating. Magna International Inc. accounted for approximately 23% of the Trust’s rental revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023. Although its operating subsidiaries are not individually rated, Magna International Inc. has an investment grade credit rating from Moody’s, S&P and DBRS Morningstar which mitigates the Trust’s credit risk. Substantially all of the Trust’s accounts receivable are collected within 30 days. The balance of accounts receivable past due is not significant. (ii) Interest rate risk As at December 31, 2023, the Trust’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited. Approximately 62% of the Trust’s interest bearing debt consists of fixed rate debt in the form of the 2027 Debentures, the 2028 Debentures, the 2029 Debentures and the 2030 Debentures. After taking into account the related derivatives, the 2027 Debentures, the 2028 Debentures, the 2029 Debentures and the 2030 Debentures have effective fixed interest rates of 2.964%, 1.004%, 4.929% and 1.045%, respectively. The remaining 38% of the Trust’s interest bearing debt consists of variable rate debt in the form of the 2024 Term Loan, the 2025 Term Loan, the September 2026 Term Loan and the December 2026 Term Loan. After taking into account the related derivatives, the 2024 Term Loan, the 2025 Term Loan, the September 2026 Term Loan and the December 2026 Term Loan have effective fixed interest rates of 0.267%, 5.016%, 4.333% and 1.105%, respectively. (iii) Foreign exchange risk As at December 31, 2023, the Trust is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily in respect of movements in the Euro and the US dollar. The Trust is structured such that its foreign operations are primarily conducted by entities with a functional currency which is the same as the economic environment in which the operations take place. As a result, the net income impact of currency risk associated with financial instruments is limited as its financial assets and liabilities are generally denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary that holds the financial instrument. However, the Trust is exposed to foreign currency risk on its net investment in its foreign currency denominated operations and certain Trust level foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2023, the Trust’s foreign currency denominated net assets are $6.3 billion in US dollars and Euros. A 1% change in the US dollar and Euro exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar would result in a gain or loss of approximately $42.9 million and $20.0 million, respectively, to comprehensive income. Granite generates rental income that is not all denominated in Canadian dollars. Since the financial results are reported in Canadian dollars, the Trust is subject to foreign currency fluctuations that could, from time to time, have an impact on the operating results. For the year ended December 31, 2023, a 1% change in the US dollar and Euro exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar would have impacted revenue by approximately $3.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Trust has designated its derivatives relating to the $1.3 billion of unsecured debentures, $544.3 million of unsecured term loans, the combination of the $102.2 million of unsecured term loan and its related derivative, and the Euro denominated draws under the Credit Facility as hedges of its net investment in the European operations (note 8(c)). Furthermore, the Trust has designated its derivatives relating to the $650.0 million of unsecured debentures and the combination of the $528.2 million of unsecured term loan and its related derivative, as hedges of its net investment in the United States operations (note 8(c)). (iv) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk the Trust will encounter difficulties in meeting its financial obligations as they become due. The Trust may also be subject to the risks associated with debt financing, including the risks that the unsecured debentures, term loans and credit facility may not be able to be refinanced. The Trust’s objectives in minimizing liquidity risk are to maintain prudent levels of leverage on its investment properties, maintaining ample capacity on its Credit Facility, staggering its debt maturity profile and maintaining an investment grade credit rating. In addition, the Declaration of Trust establishes certain debt ratio limits. The estimated contractual maturities of the Trust’s financial liabilities are summarized below: Payments due by year As at December 31, 2023 Total 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Unsecured debentures $ 1,900,000 $ — $ — $ 500,000 $ 500,000 $ 900,000 Unsecured term loans 1,174,685 244,283 528,180 402,222 — — Derivatives 8,429 — — 2,105 — 3,067 3,257 Interest payments (1) : Unsecured debentures, net of derivatives 222,152 44,891 44,891 44,891 37,528 30,165 19,786 Unsecured term loans, net of derivatives 72,003 35,951 29,274 6,778 — — — Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 94,336 91,390 1,570 1,376 — — — Distributions payable 17,415 17,415 — — — — — $ 3,489,020 $ 433,930 $ 603,915 $ 457,372 $ 537,528 $ 533,232 $ 923,043 (1) |

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT | 19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Trust’s capital structure comprises the total of the stapled unitholders’ equity and debt. The total managed capital of the Trust is summarized below: As at December 31, 2023 2022 Unsecured debentures, net $ 1,892,236 $ 1,893,186 Unsecured term loans, net 1,173,746 1,090,451 Derivative (assets) liabilities, net (1) (100,813) (138,388) Secured debt — 51,373 Total debt 2,965,169 2,896,622 Stapled unitholders’ equity 5,276,951 5,475,375 Total managed capital $ 8,242,120 $ 8,371,997 (1) Balance represents derivative (assets) net of derivative liabilities (note 8(c)). The Trust manages, monitors and adjusts its capital balances in response to the availability of capital, economic conditions and investment opportunities with the following objectives in mind: • Compliance with investment and debt restrictions pursuant to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust; • Compliance with existing debt covenants; • Maintaining investment grade credit ratings; • Supporting the Trust’s business strategies including ongoing operations, property development and acquisitions; • Optimizing the Trust's weighted average cost of capital; • Generating stable and growing cash distributions; and • Building long-term unitholder value. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust contains certain provisions with respect to capital management which include: • The Trust shall not incur or assume any indebtedness if, after giving effect to the incurring or assumption of the indebtedness, the total indebtedness of the Trust would be more than 65% of the Gross Book Value (as defined in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust); and • The Trust shall not invest in raw land for development, except for (i) existing properties with additional development, (ii) the purpose of renovating or expanding existing properties or (iii) the development of new properties, provided that the aggregate cost of the investments of the Trust in raw land, after giving effect to the proposed investment, will not exceed 15% of Gross Book Value. At December 31, 2023, the Trust’s combined debt consists of the unsecured debentures, the unsecured term loans and the unsecured revolving credit facility when drawn, each of which have various financial covenants. These covenants are defined within the trust indenture, the term loan agreements and the revolving credit facility agreement and, depending on the debt instrument, include a total indebtedness ratio, a secured indebtedness ratio, an interest coverage ratio, an unencumbered asset ratio, and a minimum equity threshold. The Trust monitors these covenants and was in compliance with their respective requirements as at December 31, 2023 and 2022. Distributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and Granite REIT intends to distribute each year all of its taxable income pursuant to its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust as calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act. For the fiscal year 2023, the Trust declared a monthly distribution of $0.2667 per stapled unit from January to November and a monthly distribution of $0.2750 per stapled unit for the month of December. The Board determines monthly distribution levels having considered, among other factors, estimated 2023 and 2024 cash generated from operations and capital requirements, the alignment of its current and targeted payout ratios with the Trust’s strategic objectives and compliance with the above noted financial covenants. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (a) The Trust is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management evaluates all claims with the advice of legal counsel. Management believes these claims are generally covered by Granite's insurance policies and that any liability from remaining claims is not probable to occur and would not have a material adverse effect on the combined financial statements. However, actual outcomes may differ from management's expectations. (b) As at December 31, 2023, the Trust's contractual commitments totaled $56.4 million which are primarily comprised of costs to complete its ongoing construction and development projects and related tenant improvements. (c) In connection with the acquisitions of investment properties located in Palmetto, Georgia on November 12, 2020 and in Locust Grove, Georgia on March 12, 2021, $128.2 million (US$97.1 million) of bonds were assumed. The authorized amount of the bonds is $137.3 million (US$104.0 million), of which $83.2 million (US$63.0 million) was outstanding as at December 31, 2023. The bonds provide for a real estate tax abatement for the acquired investment properties. Through a series of transactions, the Trust is both the bondholder and the obligor of the bonds. Therefore, in accordance with IAS 32, the bonds are not recorded in the combined balance sheet. |

Disclosure of initial application of standards or interpretations [abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance | Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). |
Combined Financial Statements and Basis of Consolidation | Combined Financial Statements and Basis of Consolidation As a result of the REIT conversion described in note 1, the Trust does not have a single parent; however, each unit of Granite REIT and each share of Granite GP trade as a single stapled unit and accordingly, Granite REIT and Granite GP have identical ownership. Therefore, these financial statements have been prepared on a combined basis whereby the assets, liabilities and results of Granite GP and Granite REIT have been combined. The combined financial statements include the subsidiaries of Granite GP and Granite REIT. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated by Granite GP or Granite REIT from the date of acquisition, being the date on which control is obtained. The subsidiaries continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control exists when Granite GP or Granite REIT have power, exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to use their power over the entity to affect the amount of returns it generates. |
Trust Units | Trust Units The stapled units are redeemable at the option of the holder and, therefore, are required to be accounted for as financial liabilities, except where certain exemption conditions are met, in which case redeemable instruments may be classified as equity. The attributes of the stapled units meet the exemption conditions set out in IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and are, therefore, presented as equity on the combined balance sheets. |
Investment Properties | Investment Properties The Trust accounts for its investment properties, which include income-producing properties, properties under development and land held for development, in accordance with IAS 40, Investment Property . For acquired investment properties that meet the definition of a business, the acquisition is accounted for as a business combination (note 2(e)); otherwise they are initially measured at cost including directly attributable expenses. Subsequent to acquisition, investment properties are carried at fair value, which is determined based on available market evidence at the balance sheet date including, among other things, rental revenue from current leases and reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent what knowledgeable, willing parties would assume about rental revenue from future leases less future cash outflows in respect of capital expenditures. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in net income in the period of change. Income-Producing Properties The carrying value of income-producing properties includes the impact of straight-line rental revenue (note 2(j)), tenant incentives and deferred leasing costs since these amounts are incorporated in the determination of the fair value of income-producing properties. When an income-producing property is disposed of, the gain or loss is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds, net of selling costs, and the carrying amount of the property and is recognized in net income in the period of disposal. Properties Under Development The Trust’s development properties are classified as such until the property is substantially completed and available for occupancy. The initial cost of properties under development includes the acquisition cost of the land and direct development or expansion costs, including construction costs, borrowing costs and indirect costs wholly attributable to development. Borrowing costs are capitalized to projects under development or construction based on the average accumulated expenditures outstanding during the period multiplied by the Trust’s average borrowing rate on existing debt. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross borrowing cost incurred on such borrowings less any investment income arising on temporary investment of these borrowings. The capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods that development activity is interrupted. The Trust capitalizes direct and indirect costs, including property taxes and insurance of the development property, if activities necessary to ready the development property for its intended use are in progress. Costs of internal personnel and other indirect costs that are wholly attributable to a project are capitalized as incurred. If considered reliably measurable, properties under development are carried at fair value. Properties under development are measured at cost if fair value is not reliably measurable. In determining the fair value of properties under development consideration is given to, among other things, remaining construction costs, development risk, the stage of project completion and the reliability of cash inflows after project completion. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Trust accounts for property acquisitions as a business combination if the particular assets and set of activities acquired can be operated and managed as a business in their current state for the purpose of providing a return to the unitholders. In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations , the acquired set of activities and assets in an acquisition must include an input and a substantive process to qualify as a business. IFRS 3 amendments, effective January 1, 2020, provide for an optional concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The Trust applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for a business combination is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Trust. The total consideration includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired as well as liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The Trust recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration that is recorded as an asset or liability is recognized in net income. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the identifiable net assets acquired. If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in net income. |
Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is satisfied when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, management is committed to the sale and the sale is highly probable to occur within one year. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of the Trust’s foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case, for material transactions, the exchange rates at the dates of those transactions are used. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income and accumulated in equity. In preparing the financial statements of each entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the average rates of exchange prevailing in the period. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in net income in the period in which they arise except for: • The effective portion of exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income; • Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation) are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income; and • Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings related to capitalized interest for assets under construction are recognized in investment properties. |
Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging | Financial Instruments and Hedging Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The following summarizes the Trust’s classification and measurement basis of its financial assets and liabilities: Classification and Measurement Basis Financial assets Long-term receivables included in other assets Amortized Cost Derivatives Fair Value Loan receivable Amortized Cost Accounts receivable Amortized Cost Foreign exchange collar contracts Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents Amortized Cost Financial liabilities Unsecured debentures, net Amortized Cost Unsecured term loans, net Amortized Cost Secured debt Amortized Cost Derivatives Fair Value Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized Cost Foreign exchange collar contracts Fair Value Distributions payable Amortized Cost The Trust recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The impact of the credit loss modeling process is summarized as follows: • The Trust did not record an ECL allowance against long-term receivables as historical experience of loss on these balances is insignificant and, based on the assessment of forward-looking information, no significant increases in losses are expected. The Trust will continue to assess the valuation of these instruments. • The Trust did not record an ECL allowance against accounts receivable and loan receivable and has determined that its internal processes of evaluating each receivable on a specific basis for collectability using historical experience and adjusted for forward-looking information, would appropriately allow the Trust to determine if there are significant increases in credit risk to then record a corresponding ECL allowance. For financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, the liability is amortized using the effective interest rate method. Under the effective interest rate method, any transaction fees, costs, discounts and premiums directly related to the financial liabilities are recognized in net income over the expected life of the obligation. In regards to modifications to financial liabilities, when a financial liability measured at amortized cost is modified or exchanged, and such modification or exchange does not result in derecognition, the adjustment to the amortized cost of the financial liability as a result of the modification or exchange is recognized in net income. Derivatives and Hedging Derivative instruments, such as the cross currency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange collar contracts, are recorded in the combined balance sheet at fair value, including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the combined statements of net income. The Trust utilizes derivative financial instruments from time to time in the management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Trust’s policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Trust applies hedge accounting to certain derivative and non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments in subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge relationship is terminated or no longer qualifies as a hedge, or when the hedging item is sold or terminated. In a net investment hedging relationship, the effective portion of foreign exchange gains or losses on the hedging instruments is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income and the ineffective portion is recognized in net income. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in net income when there is a disposition or partial disposition of the foreign subsidiary. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform In August 2020, the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ; IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures ; IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ; IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16, Leases, which addresses issues that might affect financial reporting once an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative benchmark interest rate and provides specific disclosure requirements. The amendments introduce a practical expedient for modifications of financial instruments, where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes as a result of the Interbank Offer Rate (“IBOR”) reform, allowing for prospective application of the alternative benchmark interest rate. In addition, the amendments relate to the application of hedge accounting, providing an exception such that changes in the formal designation and documentation of hedge accounting relationships that are needed to reflect the changes required by IBOR reform do not result in the discontinuation of hedge accounting or the designation of new hedging relationships. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As some of the Trust's unsecured debt and related derivatives have been or will be impacted by the IBOR reform, the reformed IFRS guidance has been adopted. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Trust's combined financial statements. Refer to note 8 for details of the unsecured debt and related derivatives that have been or will be affected by the IBOR reform and the transition plan that the Trust has executed to alternative benchmark interest rates. |
Leases | Leases The Trust recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation at the lease commencement date, in accordance with IFRS 16, Leases . The Trust accounts for its right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property as fixed assets. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and, subsequently, at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease obligation. When a right-of-use asset meets the definition of investment property, it is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value (note 2(d)). The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Trust’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Trust uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease obligation is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or, as appropriate, a change in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Where Granite has retained substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of its rental properties, leases with its tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of the Trust’s rental properties have been transferred to its tenants, the Trust’s leases are accounted for as finance leases. All of the Trust’s current leases are operating leases. Revenue from investment properties includes base rents earned from tenants under lease agreements, property tax and operating cost recoveries and other incidental income. Rents from tenants may contain rent escalation clauses or free rent periods which are recognized in revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between the revenue recognized and the contractual rent is included in investment properties as straight-line rents receivable. In addition, tenant incentives including cash allowances provided to tenants are recognized as a reduction in rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease where it is determined that the tenant fixturing has no benefit to the property beyond the existing tenancy. Property tax and operating cost recoveries from tenants are recognized as revenue in the period in which applicable costs are incurred. |
Unit-based Compensation Plans | Unit-based Compensation Plans Executive Deferred Stapled Unit Plan The executive deferred stapled unit plan is measured at fair value at the date of grant and amortized to compensation expense from the effective date of the grant to the final vesting date. Compensation expense is recognized on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant. Compensation expense for executive deferred stapled units granted under the plan is recognized in general and administrative expenses with a corresponding liability recognized based upon the fair value of the Trust’s stapled units as the Trust is an open-ended trust making its units redeemable. During the period in which the executive deferred stapled units are outstanding, for grants with no performance criteria, the liability is adjusted for changes in the market value of the Trust’s stapled unit, and for grants with performance criteria, the liability is measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model (note 13), with both such adjustments being recognized as compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the period in which they occur. The liability balance is reduced as deferred stapled units are forfeited or settled for stapled units and recorded in equity. Director/Trustee Deferred Share Unit Plan The compensation expense and a corresponding liability associated with the director/trustee deferred share unit plan are measured based on the market value of the underlying stapled units. During the period in which the awards are outstanding, the liability is adjusted for changes in the market value of the underlying stapled unit, with such positive or negative adjustments being recognized in general and administrative expenses in the period in which they occur. The liability balance is settled for cash or stapled units when a director/trustee ceases to be a member of the Board. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Operations in Canada Granite qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”) and as such the Trust itself will not be subject to income taxes provided it continues to qualify as a REIT for purposes of the Act. A REIT is not taxable and not considered to be a Specified Investment Flow-through Trust provided it complies with certain tests and it distributes all of its taxable income in a taxation year to its unitholders. The Trust’s qualification as a REIT results in no current or deferred income tax being recognized in the combined financial statements for income taxes related to the Canadian investment properties. Operations in the United States The Trust’s investment property operations in the United States are conducted in a qualifying United States REIT (“US REIT”) for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a qualifying US REIT, it is not taxable provided it complies with certain tests in addition to the requirement to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. As a qualifying US REIT, current income taxes on U.S. taxable income have not been recorded in the combined financial statements. However, the Trust has recorded deferred income taxes that may arise on the disposition of its investment properties as the Trust will likely be subject to entity level income tax in connection with such transactions pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. Operations in Europe The Trust consolidates certain entities that continue to be subject to income tax. Income taxes for taxable entities in Europe, as well as other entities in Canada or the United States subject to tax, are recorded as follows: Current Income Tax The current income tax expense is determined on the basis of enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws at each balance sheet date. Deferred Income Tax Deferred income tax is recorded, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported on the combined financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that deductions, tax credits or tax losses will be utilized. Each of the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they are levied by the same taxation authority in either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities within the same reporting group that settle on a net basis. |
Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions | Si gnificant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the combined financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions utilized in preparing the combined financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could be materially different and require an adjustment to the reported results. Judgments The following are the critical judgments that have been made in applying the Trust’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the combined financial statements: (i) Leases The Trust’s policy for revenue recognition is described in note 2(j). The Trust makes judgments in determining whether certain leases are operating or finance leases, in particular tenant leases with long contractual terms or leases where the property is a large square-footage and/or architecturally specialized. The Trust also makes judgments in determining the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal or termination options. The assessment of whether the Trust is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term which, in turn, significantly affects the amount of lease obligations and right-of-use assets recognized. (ii) Investment Properties The Trust’s policy relating to investment properties is described in note 2(d). In applying this policy, judgment is used in determining whether certain costs incurred for tenant improvements are additions to the carrying amount of the property or represent incentives, identifying the point at which practical completion of properties under development occurs and determining borrowing costs to be capitalized to the carrying value of properties under development. Judgment is also applied in determining the use, extent and frequency of independent appraisals. (iii) Income Taxes The Trust applies judgment in determining whether it will continue to qualify as a REIT for both Canadian and U.S. tax purposes for the foreseeable future. However, should it at some point no longer qualify, it would be subject to income tax and would be required to recognize current and deferred income taxes. Estimates and Assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities include the following: (i) Valuation of Investment Properties The fair value of investment properties is determined by management using primarily the discounted cash flow method in which the income and expenses are projected over the anticipated term of the investment plus a subsequent reversionary value discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The Trust obtains, from time to time, appraisals from independent qualified real estate valuation experts. However, the Trust does not value its investment properties based on these appraisals but uses them as data points, alongside other external market information for management to arrive at its own conclusions on values. Management receives valuation assumptions from external appraisers such as discount rates, terminal capitalization rates and market rental rates, however, the Trust also considers its knowledge of historical renewal experiences with its tenants, its understanding of certain specialized aspects of the Trust’s portfolio and tenant profile, and its knowledge of the current condition of the properties to determine proprietary market leasing assumptions, including lease renewal probabilities, renewal rents and capital expenditures. The critical assumptions relating to the Trust’s estimates of fair values of investment properties include contractual rents, contractual renewal terms, expected future market rental rates, discount rates that reflect current market uncertainties, capitalization rates and recent investment property prices. If there is any change in these assumptions or regional, national or international economic conditions, the fair value of investment properties may change materially. Refer to note 4 for further information on the estimates and assumptions made by management. (ii) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Where the fair value of financial assets or liabilities recorded on the combined balance sheet or disclosed in the notes cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow method. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could materially affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. (iii) Income Taxes The Trust operates in a number of countries and is subject to the income tax laws and related tax treaties in each of its operating jurisdictions. These laws and treaties can be subject to different interpretations by relevant taxation authorities. Significant judgment is required in the estimation of Granite’s income tax expense, the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws and treaties and the provision for any exposure that may arise from tax positions that are under audit by relevant taxation authorities. The recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities is dependent on management’s estimate of future taxable profits and income tax rates that are expected to be in effect in the period the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Any changes in management’s estimate can result in changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities as reported in the combined balance sheets and also the deferred income tax expense in the combined statements of net income. (n) Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023 In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements , IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements and IAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors . The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The Trust has adopted these amendments effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Trust's combined financial statements. |

The Trust has adopted these amendments effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Trust's combined financial statements. |
Future Changes in Accounting Standards | Future Changes in Accounting Standards In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements , to clarify its requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position. The limited scope amendment affected only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendment clarified that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specified that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. It also introduced a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments are effective January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted and the amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Trust does not expect these amendments to have a material impact on its combined financial statements. |
