Revenue was $304.4 million during the three months ended June 30, down year-over-year from $361.7 million. 

RioCan says its retail committed occupancy reached a record high of 98.8 per cent.

The company is now expecting its commercial same property net operating income for the year to grow between four per cent and 4.5 per cent, up from its previous estimate of 3.5 per cent to four per cent, driven mainly by leasing performance to date and its leasing pipeline.
