HALIFAX, NS, Aug. 10, 2022 /CNW/ – NexLiving Communities Inc. (TSXV: NXLV) (“NexLiving” or the “Company”) announced today that it has acquired a 40-suite building in Strathroy, Ontario (“294 Saulsbury”) for $9.4 million. The acquisition will be financed with a combination of cash on hand and a $7.9 million short-term debt facility, which will include a capital expenditure facility.
294 Saulsbury is a three-storey building situated on 1.44 acres of land in Strathroy, a bedroom community 30 km west of London, Ontario. The building was constructed in the 1960s and has recently undergone major refurbishment of large capital items, including windows, balconies and balcony doors. 294 Saulsbury is located steps away from Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital and is ideally situated in the heart of downtown Strathroy, within walking distance to shopping, grocery, transit and Alexandra Park. The Company plans to undertake a targeted value-add capital program to modernize and reposition the large 1- and 2-bedroom suites.
Stavro Stathonikos, CEO & President of NexLiving commented: “294 Saulsbury is our second value-add investment in the Ontario market, where we can achieve pro forma yields in excess of what is achievable by simply purchasing stabilized buildings. Once complete, the building will offer a premium rental opportunity to a growing number of 55+ residents looking for quality rental product in the Strathroy/West London market.”
NexLiving has more than tripled the size of its portfolio over the past 24 months. The Company expects to continue to build upon its successful acquisition track record and acquire an additional 500+ suites over the next year, with a focus in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
