CAPREIT Expands Presence in Strong Netherlands Market


TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust ("CAPREIT") (TSX:CAR.UN) announced today that it has waived conditions and will acquire a portfolio of thirteen properties well-located in twelve urban centres in the Netherlands totaling 535 residential suites. The portfolio consists of 122 single family rental homes, 413 multi-family rental properties, and one commercial unit all situated close to existing CAPREIT properties in the country. The purchase price will be ?107.5 million, funded by a new ?64.5 million Euro LIBOR loan with an expected seven year term at 1.85% per annum, with the balance from CAPREIT's existing EURO credit facility. Closing is anticipated by December 2018.

The properties are located close to major highways, train stations, bike paths, shopping, restaurants, parking and parks. Occupancy for the portfolio currently stands at 96.6%. The properties will be managed by CAPREIT's recently established regional office in the Netherlands and will bring the total residential units owned to 2,626.

"We are very pleased to be adding these modern, well-maintained properties to our Netherlands portfolio," commented David Ehrlich, President and CEO. "With a current housing shortage in the market, a vibrant economy and solid employment, demand remains very strong for the well-managed and quality rental residential properties CAPREIT provides."
