Pure Multi-Family REIT LP Announces Closing of Property Disposition for US$27.95 Million

VANCOUVER, Jan. 14, 2015 /CNW/ - Pure Multi-Family REIT LP ("Pure Multi") (TSXV: RUF.U, RUF.UN, RUF.DB.U; OTCQX: PMULF) announced today the successful sale of Sunset Point Apartments ("Sunset Point"), located in Arlington, Texas, a submarket of Dallas-Fort Worth, for gross proceeds of US$27.95 million.

Sunset Point has a total of 408 residential units and was constructed in 1983.  As part of Pure Multi's commitment to create value for its unitholders through selective dispositions of its Class B assets, Pure Multi intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Sunset Point to upgrade the overall quality of its portfolio by acquiring a quality Class A asset without the need to raise additional capital through public offerings of units.

Stephen Evans, CEO stated "once again we have executed on our value-add strategy culminating  in the successful sale of Sunset Point, at a compelling profit, with an estimated average annualized return on equity invested of over 22%.  The sale of Sunset Point, together with the recently completed sale of Windscape Apartment Homes, represents the profitable sale of two of our oldest assets. We intend to use the net proceeds from such sales, together with the U.S. tax-free rollover, to acquire newer high quality assets to strategically improve our portfolio."
