CALGARY, July 21, 2015 /CNW/ - Genesis Land Development Corp. (TSX: GDC) ("Genesis") is pleased to announce that on July 16, 2015 the limited partners of Genesis Limited Partnership #6 and Genesis Limited Partnership #7 ("LP #6" and "LP#7", respectively), voted to waive all conditions for the sale of the partnerships' final parcel of land located in Airdrie, Alberta. The partnerships previously sold six sites in Airdrie, Alberta and northeast Calgary.

The 13.64 acre multi-family site located in the Canals community in Airdrie was contracted for sale for gross proceeds of $10.0 million. On closing, anticipated to be in March 2016, the net proceeds will be distributed to the limited partners and the partnerships will be wound up. Genesis owns 11.75% of LP#6.
