VANCOUVER, Sept. 9, 2015 /CNW/ – Pure Multi-Family REIT LP (“Pure Multi”) (TSXV: RUF.U, RUF.UN; RUF.DB.U; OTCQX: PMULF) announced today that it has completed the refinancing of Prairie Creek Villas (“Prairie Creek”), located in Richardson, Texas. The new US$46.5 million mortgage has a term of 15-years and bears a fixed interest rate of 4.07%. This financing replaces the current US$31.4 million, 6.02% fixed interest rate mortgage assumed as part of the acquisition of the property in October of 2012, which was set to mature in March of 2019. Pure Multi intends to use the net proceeds from this refinancing to fund future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
Stephen Evans, CEO stated, “We are very happy to capitalize on the current low interest rate environment. This pro-active refinancing serves to stabilize Pure Multi’s mortgage pool, by significantly reducing the weighted average interest rate, extending the average mortgage term to maturity, and to provide excess capital to help grow the business. Looking ahead, we will continue to prudently manage our balance sheet while pursuing strategic growth of our portfolio with the objective of enhancing unitholder value.”
