Yesterday CAPREIT announced that we have entered into our first joint venture development agreement for a mixed-use project at 1100 King Street West in Toronto’s Liberty Village neighborhood. 

The agreement is to acquire a 1/3 undivided interest in the residential component of the project for $60.3M. The residential component will consist of 3 towers and 506 apartment suites (sitting on top of a roughly 160,000 square foot commercial/retail podium that will not be owned by CAPREIT).

Here’s what Thomas Schwartz, President and CEO of CAPREIT had to say:

“We expect our interest in the property, combined with the property management fees we will receive, will be accretive to our cash flow and set the stage for similar partnerships, along with our own new rental developments in the future.”

As a member of the development team at CAPREIT, it feels great to get this one out there.
