Minto Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (Minto Apartment REIT) of Ottawa has expanded its Calgary inventory with the purchase of two apartment rental buildings in the Quarry Park community for less than their assessed value.
Minto paid $63.8 million for the total of 199 apartments, which it bought from Remington Development Corp. The buildings are 98 per cent occupied with an average rent of $1,506 per suite, according to Minto.
The properties are close to a 144-unit multi-family rental that Minto acquired earlier. With the latest acquisition, Minto becomes the only multi-family landlord in trendy Quarry Park.
The purchase price for the Quarters pencils to approximately $321,000 per suite, representing a 4.1 per cent capitalization rate (based on in-place net operating income) and a 6.25 pert cent discount to the property's appraised value. The purchase price will be satisfied with a term mortgage and from the REIT’s existing credit facility. The transaction closed in January 2019.
Michael Waters, Minto Apartment REIT’s CEO, said the Calgary transaction will increase its presence in Alberta from 8 per cent of the gross book value of its portfolio to 12 per cent.
