Edmonton, Alberta – TheNewswire - September 15, 2021 – Yorkton Equity Group Inc. (“YEG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:YEG) is pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of its Langford Apartments located in the City Centre of Langford, BC—part of the municipality of Metro Victoria, British Columbia.

According to Mr. Ben Lui, the Company’s CEO “The completion of the acquisition of this property is another major milestone in our strategic investments in the BC market. We have plans to acquire additional properties in BC with strong cash flows and significant upside potential, as we seek to rapidly grow our net asset value, which is consistent with our secure, aggressive growth strategy”.

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 has plans to take advantage of that opportunity to rapidly grow its portfolio of cash flowing rental assets.

The Langford Apartments building, built in 2014, is an upscale condo grade 4 storied building that features spacious and bright three 1-bedroom plus den units, and twelve 2- bedroom units and one commercial unit at grade. The building features covered parking stalls, in-suite laundry, stainless steel appliances, bike storage rooms, and elevator service. The building is fully tenanted; Langford has very strong rental demand.

The City of Langford located in Metro Victoria was recently named as the “most livable” city in Canada, and the top community in BC. Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada’s Pacific coast. Victoria is the southernmost major city in Western Canada and is southwest from Vancouver on the mainland.  The Metro Victoria area has a growing population of about 390,000 as of 2021.

Victoria has an expanding regional high technology sector that has risen to be its largest industry in addition to education, marine, construction, health, retail, and agriculture, all of which contributes to its rising GDP that has a regional impact of about $2 billion annually.
