The acquisitions
Quebec portfolio
The Quebec portfolio comprises 13 industrial properties totalling 611,924 square feet of GLA and was acquired for $112.8-million (excluding closing costs). The purchase price was financed through approximately $73.8-million drawn under a four-year secured non-revolving credit facility with $71.0-million of the facility hedged through a four-year fixed-rate swap at 4.69 per cent, and approximately $39.1-million of cash from the net proceeds of the June 10, 2026, equity financing.
Winnipeg portfolio
The Winnipeg portfolio comprises four industrial properties totalling 159,235 square feet of GLA and was acquired for $24.0-million (excluding closing costs). The purchase price was financed through approximately $15.6-million of a new eight-year fixed-rate mortgage financing bearing interest at 4.95 per cent and approximately $8.4-million of cash from the net proceeds of the June 10, 2026 equity financing.
Impact on PROREIT's overall portfolio
Following completion of the acquisitions and giving effect to the additional acquisitions under binding agreement, PROREIT's portfolio will consist of 126 income-producing properties representing approximately 7.4 million square feet of GLA.
The transactions meaningfully enhance PROREIT's industrial weighting, increasing industrial exposure to approximately 93.5 per cent of total GLA and 92.1 per cent of annualized base rent, on a pro forma basis. The acquisitions further advance PROREIT's strategy of increasing its allocation to high-quality industrial assets in strong Canadian logistics and distribution markets.
