Dream Office REIT just jumped 14%, the highest gain in seven years, after announcing its plans to sell $870M in property.

The selloff consists of one-sixth of the company’s portfolio, which will come from assets in Toronto’s suburbs, Ottawa, Vancouver and Saskatchewan. 

Dream Office chairman Michael Cooper says the REIT will adopt a more "private equity-like strategy" to create a leaner company, Bloomberg reports.

Shortly after the move, Toronto-Dominion Bank bumped the REIT from "buy" to "strong buy" status. The REIT made a similar move in 2007, when the company sold enough to return C$1.6B to shareholders. [Bloomberg]
