Brookfield focuses on top-quality office real estate, which will produce better returns over the long run, chief executive Bruce Flatt told investors last month.Article content “We have always focused on owning premier real estate in the best locations, which is why 95 per cent of our office portfolio is either trophy or Class A office space that continues to vastly outperform the broader market,” he said in a letter to shareholders of Brookfield Corp., Brookfield Asset’s parent company. The group also invests in other property asset classes, including hotels, malls, logistics and housing.

Flatt told investors the problems are isolated to those assets and aren’t material to the firm’s sprawling real estate business, which includes New York’s Manhattan West and London’s Canary Wharf. Brookfield has “always prided ourselves on being an extremely responsible borrower, and our reputation in the capital markets sets us apart,” he said.
