All financial information is presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Tricon Capital Group Inc. (TSX: TCN) ("Tricon" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the Arizona State Retirement System ("ASRS") to form a joint venture partnership which will target investments in master planned communities and the development of single-family "build-to-rent" communities in U.S. Sun Belt markets. The total equity committed to this venture is $450 million, including $400 million from ASRS and $50 million from Tricon. Tricon currently has an attractive pipeline of potential investments including two wholly-owned master planned communities, which it intends to offer as potential seed assets to this venture.

"We are thrilled to partner with ASRS in this joint venture, which represents a major commitment of capital towards our growth strategy," said Gary Berman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Tricon. "Through our partnership with ASRS, we aim to grow the master planned communities business of our Johnson Companies subsidiary and to fund the development of single-family "build-to-rent" communities, a burgeoning asset class which leverages Tricon's expertise across residential real estate product types. The joint venture provides increased scale and operational synergies for our diversified housing platform that we expect to benefit our residents and shareholders alike."

Tricon will fund its co-investment largely with internally generated cash flow. In its role as an asset manager, Tricon will be entitled to receive customary asset management fees, and potentially performance fees for managing third-party capital.
