OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 27, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:IIP.UN) ("InterRent") announced today that it has entered into an unconditional agreement to acquire a property in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal (Montreal). The property consists of 127 suites along with a ground floor commercial unit.

The building is situated on a prominent corner in the heart of the trendy Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, and overlooks one of Montreal's largest parks, Parc La Fontaine. Steps away are the bustling streets of Avenue du Mont-Royal, Rue Saint-Denis and Boulevard St-Laurent which are popular entertainment, dining and shopping hubs for residents in the area. There is convenient access to the subways via Station Mont-Royal and McGill University and Notre-Dame Hospital are within close proximity.

The building is located at 1101 Rachel Street and consists of 94 1-bedroom, 33 2-bedrooms and a commercial ground floor retail unit. The property was purchased at a price of $21,550,000 or $168,000 per suite and at a going in cap rate for the acquisition was 4.6%. The purchase is scheduled to be completed in March of 2016 and will be financed through a conventional first mortgage.

Amenities within the 17 story high-rise include: a roof-top terrace with panoramic views of Mont Royal, the Montreal skyline and the St Lawrence River; a ground floor café; indoor leisure area with heated swimming pool, saunas and fitness area; on-site laundry; and an inviting grand lobby.

Additionally, InterRent announced today that it has entered into an unconditional agreement to sell 26 June Avenue in Brampton, Ontario, a 44 suite apartment building. The sale is being completed at a price of $197,000 per suite for a total of $8,675,000 and at a cap rate of 4.4%. The sale is scheduled to be completed in January of 2016. As the 26 June Avenue property is the only one the REIT owns in Brampton, and combined with the relatively small size of the building, management believed it was beneficial to monetize the value the REIT had created and recycle the capital into a core growth market.

"We are extremely pleased with both of these transactions as we execute on our strategy of recycling capital from our non-core properties into new repositioning opportunities within our core markets. The acquisition of 1101 Rachel Street is a rare opportunity to purchase a very well located asset in one of Canada's primary metropolitan cities. We feel that this purchase will become a signature property for InterRent and provide Unitholders with long-term value," said Mike McGahan, CEO.
