"High-quality Class A and Class B office and industrial properties, such as these Shred-it facilities, are difficult to acquire in markets like Ottawa and Oakville, "said Kevin Leon, Crestpoint's President. "Being fully leased to a prime tenant at below market rates provides both stability and the opportunity for income growth over the coming years.  These properties are great additions to our portfolio of assets and will increase the regional diversification of our holdings."
