Jonathan Corporate Enterprises Launches Real Estate & REIT Division to Expand Its Canadian Real Estate Strategy

TORONTO, ON — September 2026 — Jonathan Corporate Enterprises (JCE), a Canadian holding company focused on real estate, retail, and hospitality, is pleased to announce the launch of its Real Estate & REIT Division, establishing real estate as a core pillar of the company's long-term growth strategy.

The new division will focus on identifying, acquiring, developing, holding, and managing income-producing real estate assets across Canada. The initiative is designed to complement JCE's existing retail and hospitality operations while creating a diversified portfolio of real estate assets.

“Launching our Real Estate & REIT Division represents an important step in the evolution of JCE,” said Jonathan Young, President & CEO of Jonathan Corporate Enterprises. “Our goal is to build a diversified Canadian company where real estate ownership and operating businesses work together to create sustainable, long-term value.”

Building a Diversified Real Estate Portfolio

Through its new division, JCE intends to pursue opportunities across selected commercial and income-producing real estate sectors, with a focus on properties that demonstrate strong fundamentals, sustainable demand, and long-term potential.

The division will:

• Acquire income-producing properties

• Development and redevelopment opportunities

• Ownership and management of commercial real estate

• Retail and mixed-use properties

• Properties supporting JCE's operating businesses

• Strategic real estate partnerships and joint ventures

• Long-term asset management and value creation

JCE's approach is designed to combine disciplined real estate ownership with its experience in operating customer-focused retail and hospitality businesses.

REIT Strategy:

As part of the division's long-term development, JCE is pursuing a REIT-focused structure intended to provide a framework for acquiring, holding, developing, and managing income-producing real estate assets.

The REIT strategy is expected to evolve alongside JCE's broader real estate portfolio and business operations. Any future REIT structure, offering, listing, or securities-related activity would be subject to applicable legal, regulatory, tax, financing, and corporate requirements.

Supporting JCE's Retail & Hospitality Growth

The Real Estate & REIT Division will complement JCE's growing retail and hospitality portfolio by creating opportunities to align property ownership with the company's operating businesses.

By developing capabilities across both real estate and operating businesses, JCE aims to create a vertically integrated platform capable of identifying opportunities, developing properties, operating businesses, and managing assets over the long term.

Long-Term Vision:

The launch of the Real Estate & REIT Division represents the next stage in JCE's broader vision to build a diversified Canadian portfolio spanning real estate, retail, and hospitality.
