03/22/2017

Vancouver, BC (March 22, 2017) — Churchill International Property Corporation announced today it has successfully closed a transaction to acquire Pine Valley Estates, a 76-unit multifamily property in Prince George, BC for the purchase price of $10.2 million. The acquisition is a joint-ownership venture between Churchill Pine Valley Limited Partnership (70%) and Churchill Real Estate Investment Trust (30%).

Pine Valley Estates – 3801, 3855 & 3901 Wiebe Road, Prince George, BC

Pine Valley Estates is an exceptionally well-maintained 76-unit multifamily development nestled in the Peden Hill/West Bowl neighbourhood of Prince George, BC. The property is situated adjacent to a well-established retail centre anchored by Costco, Canadian Superstore and Best Buy, approximately six kilometres north of downtown, and one block west off Highway 16.

The 3.3 acre site was developed in 1998 with 76 multifamily dwelling units, and comprises 43 townhouse units and 33 apartments in a three-storey wood-frame building with elevator. The property features 76 covered parking stalls with electrical plug-ins (individually metered to each unit), as well as 75 additional uncovered stalls for ample visitor and overflow parking. The property is 100% occupied with a waiting list.

The total purchase price of $10.2 million was financed by a new first mortgage in the amount of $7.65 million with a 5-year term and a 3.0 percent interest rate, and cash on hand.

“We’re very pleased to acquire this high-quality residential property in what we believe is a thriving secondary market with solid multifamily investment fundamentals. We look forward to providing our tenants with a rental offering on par with the best suites in the city, and we pride ourselves on being responsive and pro-active property managers. We’re excited to be invested in Prince George again, it’s a great community.” said Philip Langridge, Chairman and CEO of Churchill International Property Corporation.

Situated in the heart of the province, 800 km north of Vancouver, the Prince George economy is well-diversified across all sectors. Over recent decades, Prince George has developed from a mainly forest-based economy to a city that has a strong natural resource base, but also supplies goods and services for a broad range of sector activities throughout northern BC, within Canada and internationally. Established on the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh, Prince George is surrounded by vast natural beauty, yet offers full urban amenities and superior connectivity to global destinations. It is home to the University of Northern British Columbia which was recently recognized by Maclean’s magazine as the top small university in Canada.
