District REIT Acquires Wish at Windsong
BURLINGTON, APRIL 14, 2022 – District Property Trust (District REIT™ ) announces the acquisition of the residential property known as “Wish at Windsong,” located at 170 and 180 Northumberland Street in Ayr, Ontario.
Acquisition Update
District REIT acquired Wish at Windsong from Ayr Meadows Development Inc. on April 14, 2022, marking the REIT’s first acquisition in Ayr and increasing the total residential units in its portfolio by 38.5%. The REIT paid $24.3 million CAD to purchase the property. This acquisition represents a 25% increase in the REIT’s total assets and a 34% increase in its investment property value. The property is a high performing multi-residential asset.
Wish at Windsong consists of two apartment buildings, with 31, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments in each building. The buildings are in a prime location in Ayr, minutes away from Foodland, LCBO and the 401 Highway, and only a 30-minute drive from Kitchener. In addition, the apartments feature fine finishes including in-suite laundry and modern kitchens.
“The REIT has been doing extremely well and we have multiple acquisitions on the horizon,” said Carmen Campagnaro, co-founder and trustee of District Property Trust. “Being in the industry for so many years and people knowing about us gives us a leading edge in the market and we are able to acquire properties that aren’t on the market. So the next few acquisitions in the pipeline are all third-party acquisitions and they are really exciting opportunities.”
