Ottawa-based InterRent REIT announced this week it closed $201.3 million in bought deal financing to fund a series of acquisitions, bolstering its Montreal portfolio.
The real estate investment trust said Tuesday it had raised the money after a syndicate of underwriters, led by Scotia Capital, Desjardins Securities and BMO Nesbitt Burns, exercised over-allotment options on its public offering of shares.
The fresh cash will go towards paying down debt and funding acquisitions, including InterRent’s plans to acquire four properties in Montreal at a total value of $166 million. If all four deals close, the REIT will add 716 residential suites and some 15,000 square feet of commercial space to its Montreal portfolio, which it will then seek to reposition.
