DREAM IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE JANE GAVAN AS THE WINNER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS
GERMAN IMMOBILIENMANAGER.AWARD
TORONTO, FEBRUARY 27, 2015, Dream Unlimited Corp. (TSX: DRM) and Dream Global REIT (TSX: DRG.UN) are
proud to announce that Jane Gavan, CEO of Dream Global REIT, was honoured with the prestigious “Surprise Prize”
by German immobilienmanager.AWARD
“Exemplary, innovative and courageous are the three key characteristics we looked for when determining the
recipient of this year’s award” explained Christof Hardebusch, Editor in Chief of immobilienmanager based in
Cologne, Germany. “Jane Gavan embodies all of these characteristics: she was innovative in the way she got
involved in her global engagement here in Germany; she showed that courage and innovation are closely related
and she is exemplary in how she established herself as a female leader in a male-dominated environment.”
Throughout her 18-year career at Dream, Jane’s responsibilities span across every aspect of running a successful
company – from overseeing the legal, human resources and risk management departments to leading some of the
most prominent real estate transactions in Canadian history and the growth of Dream’s platform from a few
hundred people in 1998 to more than 1,000 today. Jane’s role in launching and leading the transformative growth
of Dream Global REIT, the first Canadian REIT focused exclusively on international real estate investments, not only
earned her the respect of the Canadian real estate community but made Dream Global REIT together with Jane
Gavan a household name in Germany’s real estate circles.
Dream’s approach to running each of its businesses locally with the best teams on the ground, together with the
company’s aim to provide opportunities to women and young talent, have been a very successful approach to
business and were two additional factors in immobilienmanager’s choice of this year’s recipient of their award.
“Jane has led Dream Global’s entry into the German market where we have built an outstanding portfolio of
desirable buildings generating excellent current returns. Her execution of our growth strategy as if we were a
German business has earned her the respect of our German peers,” said Michael Cooper, CEO of Dream Unlimited
Corp. “It is rewarding to see Jane recognized by her peers and media in the German real estate industry as a leader
within their country. We are proud of what Jane and her team have achieved.”
