Edmonton, Alberta – TheNewswire - September 9th, 2021 – Yorkton Equity Group Inc. (“YEG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:YEG) is pleased to announce the unconditional pending sale of the 193-unit Yorkton 108 development project (the “Project”) located in the City Centre of Surrey in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the fastest growing cities in Canada. A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1,500,000 has been released to the Yorkton 108 Limited Partnership as the vendor. The Company owns approximately 25% of the limited partnership units (“LP Units”) in the Project. The Company will receive on a pro rata basis approximately 25% of the net distribution of the Project upon sale completion. The transaction is scheduled to close on October 18th, 2021.

The Company has been notified by the Project management of its decision to divest the Project due to the receipt of an attractive offer providing a low risk and reasonable return in a short time-period for the limited partners. By way of context, the Project received four unsolicited offers to purchase within a short time frame through licensed Realtors, which is indicative of the strong demand for real estate in Metro Vancouver.

According to Mr. Ben Lui, CEO of the Company, “The fact that the Project received multiple offers is indicative of the confidence of the local developers about the future of the real estate market in the area as the development time horizon is expected to be 2 to 3 years. In addition, YEG’s investment and divestiture of the Project represents a significant and very real milestone in our strategic real estate investments. We have demonstrated our ability to not only meet the challenges during this Covid-19 era, but also to take advantage of the opportunities by leveraging a relatively low risk investment into a reasonable return within a relatively short time-period. The proceeds of this sale will provide YEG the opportunity to redeploy the capital for additional rental property acquisitions.”

With the anticipated post-COVID boom, historically low interest rates, and anticipated increase in immigration levels recently announced by the federal government, there is an unprecedented window of opportunity to invest in real estate, and YEG fully intends to take advantage of that opportunity.
