TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2017 /CNW/ - CT Real Estate Investment Trust ("CT REIT") (TSX:CRT.UN) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to purchase seven properties from RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust ("RioCan") at a total investment of $200 million, before transaction costs.

"We are delighted to be purchasing these well-located properties, each of which is tenanted by Canadian Tire, and in some cases, other members of the Canadian Tire Family of Companies," said Ken Silver, President and Chief Executive Officer, CT REIT. "With the insight we have into retail store performance as well as the attractive fundamentals of the markets in which these properties are located, we are extremely pleased with these additions to our growing portfolio."

The properties are located in Collingwood, Hamilton, Orillia, St. Catharines and Sudbury, Ontario; Yorkton, Saskatchewan; and Oliver, British Columbia. Together, they represent approximately 1,283,000 square feet of incremental gross leasable area ("GLA"). CT REIT is acquiring the portfolio at a weighted average going-in cap rate of 6.3% and will be funding these investments through its credit facilities. The table below summarizes the new properties:
