12 Novembro 2020 - 5:26PM
Mitchell Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Urbanfund
Corp. (TSX Venture: “UFC”) (“Urbanfund” or, the “Company”),
announced today that the Company, along with Westdale Construction
Limited (“Westdale”), has completed the previously-announced
acquisition of the 110 unit The Manors Luxury Apartment portfolio
located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. An incorporated subsidiary, West
Mic Mac Properties Inc. (the “Purchaser”), will purchase the
portfolio with the Company being a 20% shareholder and Westdale
holding the remaining 80% interest.
“Urbanfund is very excited to be part of this
opportunity to purchase an interest in this 2-building luxury
portfolio,” stated Mitchell Cohen. “This spectacular property on
over 4 acres of treed-lands will be a worthy addition to our
mixed-use asset base.”
“This acquisition is proximate to our current
Dartmouth holdings with 110 'condo quality' units overlooking the
water,” stated Cohen.
The Manors Luxury Apartment Portfolio offers a
variety of large 1, 2 and 3-bedroom suites of exceptional quality
over 2 separate buildings built in 1981. The luxury project caters
primarily to “empty-nesters” with its spacious units, ample
terraces, generous outdoor amenity space and proximity to local
transit, shopping and greenspace.
The Purchaser purchased the portfolio for
$17,000,000 plus customary closing costs. The purchase price was
funded by a $11,800,000 mortgage and the balance by pro rata equity
subscriptions from the Company and Westdale. The Company’s
subscription for a 20% interest in the Purchaser was satisfied with
cash on-hand. The Company provided a limited guarantee of the
mortgage proportionate to its interest in the Purchaser. Property
Management will be the responsibility of Westdale and will be
compensated at market rates.
“We have been waiting to pick up these types of
assets in such a highly desired location and we executed on it,”
noted Cohen. “With its proximity to our other Dartmouth assets, we
will look to take advantage of economies of scale.” The portfolio
is in the Micmac Village area of Dartmouth which is a popular,
vibrant and affluent community characterized by a highly educated
and affluent demographic. Situated along the Lake Banook Trail, the
neighbourhood is defined by its beautiful landscaped and natural
surroundings, including walking trails and parks. The buildings are
located right across the street from Mic Mac Mall, Dartmouth’s
major mall.
