A real estate investment trust has acquired $53.6 million worth of commercial property across Canada, including a prominent office building in downtown Victoria.

Toronto-based True North Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust (True North REIT) has added 227,180 square feet of office space to its 1.94 million-square-foot portfolio. In addition to the 47,650-square-foot Victoria property at Fisgard Street, True North REIT acquired two office properties in Toronto and Ottawa.

The Victoria property is a nine-storey building with a remaining lease term of nearly three years, occupied almost entirely by the provincial government. While no sale price of this property was provided, it is assessed at $13.5 million.

“These acquisitions will allow us to enter the Victoria market as well as increase our presence in the Greater Toronto and Ottawa areas while adding high quality office buildings to our portfolio,” said Daniel Drimmer, True North’s president and CEO.
