InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:IIP.UN) ("InterRent") announced today that it has entered into an unconditional agreement to acquire two properties, totaling 123 suites, within the city of Burlington, Ontario.

The two properties, which are being acquired from the same vendor, consist of a 57 unit mid-rise building located at 455 Maple Avenue, and a 66 unit townhouse complex located at 1259-1275 Brant Street. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the middle of December at a purchase price of $21,000,000 and with a going in capitalization rate of 4.1%.

455 Maple Avenue has 19 1-bedroom, 22 2-bedroom and 16 3-bedroom suites. The building rests on a large downtown lot and has recently undergone capital upgrades including balcony restoration, new windows and parking lot paving. The building offers scenic views of Lake Ontario and is just steps away from the Waterfront Trail along the lake.
