I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
Manulife US Reit unitholders approved a strategic pivot to diversify investments beyond the US office sector into industrial, living, and retail assets in the US and Canada. The "Growth and Value Up" plan passed with 83% approval, allowing the Reit to address financial challenges and avoid liquidation risks. The Reit plans US$350 million in dispositions and US$600 million in acquisitions, focusing on data centers, multifamily housing, and grocery-anchored shopping centers. The strategic shift aims to leverage the sponsor's expertise in managing a diversified portfolio across multiple sectors.
