BURLINGTON, ON, Dec. 13, 2021 – The Equiton Balanced Real Estate Fund Trust (the Balanced Fund), recently completed the acquisition of a commercial property located at 1960-1980 Hyde Park Rd. in London, ON for $11.17M.

This acquisition will drive significant management and operational synergies since Equiton already has a presence in the city with two multi-residential properties.

The Balanced Fund offers investors access to a variety of real estate classes in one investment. By providing exposure to the core real estate investment categories of commercial, development, and lending, it can help achieve true diversification. The Balanced Fund targets an annual net return of 8-12% from a combination of cash flow, asset appreciation, and special distributions.

  • The property is fully leased with a diverse tenant mix including retail, financial, recreational and restaurant, anchored by CIBC and Wendy’s.
  • Approximately 19,565 SF of total retail space across three buildings on 2.6 acres.
  • Comprised of eight retail units including a traditional multi-unit plaza, and two free-standing units with drive-through features.
  • Ideally located in Northwest London, a retail hotspot, and one of the city’s fastest growing residential development areas.
  • Situated in a busy, high traffic location with daily traffic volumes of over 26,000 vehicles per day.

“We are excited to be adding this ideally located commercial property with very attractive features and a stable income and tenancy base to the Balanced Fund.” commented Jason Roque, Equiton Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “This acquisition is consistent with our mandate to find the best commercial, lending and development opportunities, and positions us to gain velocity for future acquisitions in 2022.”
