Casey Court: Richcraft Rentals’ new community in Trailsedge, Orleans
Nestled in the heart of Trailsedge, Orleans, Casey Court emerges as the latest addition to Richcraft’s diverse portfolio of rental communities.
The announcements came as the owner of the National Post and other Canadian newspapers announced a $1.4 million net loss for the quarter ended. Nov. 30.
Revenue for the Toronto-based publishing group fell to $171.3 million from just under $189 million a year earlier, when Postmedia reported a profit of $5.8 million with the assistance from gains on asset sales.
Financial filings released Thursday show that last month’s sale of the Ottawa Citizen and Ottawa Sun building on Baxter Road, which closed following the end of the quarter, brought in $21 million in gross proceeds.
