Ottawa-based InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) announced this week it will acquire a three-building apartment complex near Algonquin College in a $55.7-million deal.
“We feel strongly about this Ottawa rental node,” said CEO of InterRent Mike McGahan, adding the area would be improved thanks to “the long-term benefits the future LRT at Algonquin College will bring.”
The Parkway Pak apartment complex spans 17.2 acres and is only 600 metres from the bus station at Algonquin college. The location is currently slated to become the southernmost LRT station. The introduction of rail transit to the area will also provide easier access to the City of Ottawa offices, Ontario Provincial Court offices, College Square shopping centre, and Centrepoint Theatre for non-residents.
