Anthem Newsletter Summer 2021
SOCO Coquitlam, BC
Growing Places In our last newsletter we left you with our expectations for the next few years as we grappled with a world turned upside down. Now, a year later, the deployment of vaccines has come more quickly than we initially expected. Though the rollout in Canada has not been as smooth as we had hoped, both BC and Alberta’s vaccination numbers and correlated declining case counts and hospitalizations are highly encouraging and we can see a steady march towards normalcy in our near future; one that is already being experienced in our California markets. With our sights set on the future, it is important to reflect on our COVID journey and how its challenges and opportunities have reshaped our paradigm in certain areas of our business, while reinforcing our existing strategies and culture in others. Throughout the pandemic our work has not stopped. We’ve successfully launched and completed projects. We’ve received numerous approvals to proceed with our projects in mid-stream. We’ve finalized three challenging Community Amenity Contribution payments with the municipalities in which we work, we engaged with over 1,000 tenants in our commercial portfolio in a highly coordinated company-wide effort to implement government-assistance programs. We have secured countless new tenancies to strengthen the portfolio, worked tirelessly with new and existing financial partners to optimize their capital, acquired new real estate and maintained our relentless commitment to learning and continuous improvement. We have done all of this by getting up every morning with vim and vigor to not only manage our way through the COVID disruption but make our company stronger on all fronts. While unpleasant, overcoming significant challenges typically makes for the greatest progress. As a privately held 400-person diversified real estate company with a lot on the go, the pandemic presented risk and exposure to potential failure. By committing to ensure that didn’t happen, we focused and worked hard, like never before, and as a result of this experience, grew immensely in our skillsets, in our conviction to figure things out, and developed a new appreciation for the details. Though our offices have been running at less than full occupancy, with team members working from home as needed, and the general COVID malaise, which cannot be ignored, our culture has never been stronger. Without our former traditions to lean back on, we
found ways to actively celebrate our wins and worked hard to stoke opportunities for connection and understanding, for our people, our stakeholders and for the business. We have been able to gain more strategic clarity, developing our first formal strategic business planning process while establishing an executive governance team, both of which will, working together, form the building blocks of our foundation for 1,000 years of growth. We have renewed our commitment to our strategy of diversification. While general volatility – whether it be in markets, political arenas, social norms or the environment - have been on the rise in the world, COVID created an immediate disruption on an unprecedented level, changing the way people lived, worked and played. This shift created extremely challenging dynamics in certain industries and the way they use their real estate, while dramatically benefitting others. This emphatically reinforced our stated need to pursue multiple asset classes in multiple markets, such that we could mitigate negative impacts in one area by taking advantage of the new opportunities in others. One outcome we did not expect to see at the outset of the pandemic was the surging demand for housing. As a company with hundreds of homes coming to market through 2021, there was a lack of clarity as to how home buyers would respond to pandemic conditions and we faced great uncertainty. As it turned out, we were stuck at home more than we’ve ever been before. Which gets people to think about home. And to buy homes, because their current homes don’t meet their needs, or because of work-from-home arrangements they’re able to move further away from the city, where they can get larger homes and more land for less money. Record low interest rates and pent-up demand have added fuel to this fire, and as a result, in each of British Columbia, Alberta and California, we’ve seen increased sales across the board and we’re proud to have sold out numerous projects of all types in all of our markets. However, this pent-up demand will only sustain itself if we get two key things, job growth and population growth. Government relief efforts included quantitative easing and cheap costs to borrow, increasing the amount of capital in the economy. This capital must be invested in companies and assets with credible business plans, and with this investment comes the need to execute on these business plans. That execution requires new jobs to be created. Furthermore, North America fared relatively well over the pandemic, and as the world remains volatile, safehavens for both capital and people, such as Canada and the USA, and particularly highly livable
Growing Places
cities such as Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Sacramento, will benefit from ample in-migration. Governments understand this and have created policies and programs to facilitate this growth. These people will need places to live, play, work and shop. The capital in the system will need stable investments backed by these positive fundamentals. While inflation remains something to watch, we are comforted by the fact that hard assets such as real estate act as a hedge. There will be life after COVID, and we will be investing accordingly to keep up with this demand. On that, we can share some insight into our growth plans. We will be expanding our homebuilding operations into Alberta in select Anthem land communities in Calgary and Edmonton, to start. This is a natural evolution of an existing asset class, one in which we already have the knowledge and expertise. We anticipate our first sets of showhomes to open in Spring 2022. In Vancouver and Sacramento, we are expanding our multifamily rental operations through the development of new purpose-built residential rental assets. On our commercial side of the business, we will continue to acquire and develop more space, as well as improve the space we already manage, with a specific strategy to acquire more industrial assets to accommodate the surge in demand resulting from changing consumer trends and how they are bolstering the need for space for e-commerce, food processing, last mile logistics, and distribution-based tenants. 2021 is Anthem’s 30th year in business. And though it’s not the year we imagined, it’s one that leaves us with immense pride, hope and optimism for what’s to come. We’re not going away. We’re only getting better, bigger, and stronger.

Circle of Hope This August friends of Anthem, Alex Blodgett and Paul Player, will embark on a 375km expedition of hiking, mountain biking and paddling from BC Cancer’s office in False Creek through the mountainous terrain of the Sea-to-Sky region and back to Vancouver – the Circle of Hope – all in support of finding new, less invasive treatments for childhood cancers. Each year, 130 children in B.C. under the age of 17 are diagnosed with cancer. It is heartbreaking to hear of the impact cancer has on these children and their families, and the only constructive way we can contribute is by helping fund the research for its eradication. The goal of the Circle of Hope is to raise $1 million in support of the Sorensen Lab at BC Cancer Research Institute, which looks to study the efficacy of utilizing highly targeted immune-based treatment. Immunotherapy harnesses the power of the child’s own immune system to target their cancer – more precise, highly effective and considerably less toxic than introducing chemotherapy to a young, rapidly developing body. Anthem has contributed the first $100,000 of the fundraising goal, and now are reaching out to our network to humbly request your support. Please join us in the fight against childhood cancers by making a donation towards the Circle of Hope. To support this cause and learn more, visit: www.bccancerfoundation.com/circleofhope Follow along with Alex and Paul’s journey on Instagram or Twitter at @CircleOfHopeBC
