Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust ("Calloway" or the "REIT") (TSX:CWT.UN) announced that it has closed its previously announced $90 million principal amount issue of Series G senior unsecured debentures.

A third Walmart-anchored Supercentre located in Guelph, Ontario is under conditional contract and is expected to close later this month.

The terms of the offering are described in a prospectus supplement dated August 17, 2011, which was filed with Canadian securities regulators.
