VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 26, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES.

WOODFINE PROFESSIONAL CENTRES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP announces that it has engaged the office of Stantec Architecture Ltd. in Red Deer, Alberta, to perform a feasibility assessment of the building sites that the partnership has under contract in Airdrie and Okotoks, Alberta.

Stantec will evaluate each site for its development potential, taking into account applicable by-laws and local zoning and development controls. The size of the WOODFINE PROFESSIONAL CENTRES that the partnership proposes to construct will be based on Stantec's assessment of the gross developable area and building footprint at each site. Stantec will take into account the marketing focus for the WOODFINE PROFESSIONAL CENTRES, including such matters as requirements for larger parking spaces and increased perimeter frontage.

The partnership's assessment of the potential net leasable area of each development will be calculated from Stantec's feasibility study. Following completion of the study, the partnership will if appropriate arrange meetings with the municipal development teams for the Cities of Airdrie and Okotoks as part of the partnership's pre-development permit consultation with the aim of engaging support for any re-zoning or by-law relaxations that it may need.
