MONTRÉAL, Jan. 10, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Nicola Wealth Real Estate (NWRE) has acquired their first industrial property situated at 3499, Douglas B Floreani Street, Saint-Laurent (Montréal), in Quebec. The transaction, sourced by their new partner Montoni Group, establishes NWRE's presence in an important Canadian market.
The acquisition comprises an existing building totalling 139,302 square feet on 9.26 acres of land. The property was acquired on a sale/leaseback from the seller and is 100% leased to a television and broadcasting equipment manufacturing company.
"This is our first joint venture with the Montoni Group who are based out of Montreal." highlights Ron Bastin, Director of Acquisitions at Nicola Wealth Real Estate. "This acquisition presents an opportunity to establish ourselves in the Montreal market; a significant Canadian market where we are excited to grow our portfolio."
"The property is located in the Saint-Laurent market, one of the strongest industrial submarkets in Montreal." Bastin adds. "This large land parcel allows for future optionality including adding extra density on the surplus land."
"We are pleased to partner for the first time with NWRE. This property benefits from exceptional accessibility at the junction of Highways 13, 440, 520 and 40, with Montréal-Trudeau International Airport nearby. This addition further strengthens our portfolio of industrial properties strategically located in the Greater Montréal Area." concludes Dario Montoni, President of MONTONI.
