Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust Provides Leasing
Update for QRC West in Toronto
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 26, 2014) - Allied
Properties REIT (TSX:AP.UN) today provided a leasing update for one
of its properties under development, QRC West, Phase I, which is
located on the northwest corner of Richmond and Peter Streets in
the heart of Toronto's Downtown West. This project involves the
restoration of two existing Class I buildings (134 Peter Street and
364 Richmond Street West) and the addition of a new, LEED-
certified component for a combined gross leasable area ("GLA") of
approximately 350,000 square feet. In late 2012, Allied leased
approximately 50,000 square feet of GLA in the new component to
Sapient Corporation and initiated full construction. The
delta-frame structural supports for the new component are now
complete, and the process of forming and pouring the new floors is
underway.
Allied has entered
into a long-term lease transaction with a substantial tenant for up
to 70,000 square feet of GLA. The tenant will occupy four
vertically contiguous floors, the lowest being the fifth floor,
which is the unique interstitial space between the former roof of
134 Peter Street and the underside of the new structure. The
premises will serve as the tenant's Canadian head office upon
commencement of occupancy in 2015.
The new component of
the project is now 50% leased. "We're encouraged by the quantity
and quality of demand for our properties under development
generally and for QRC West in particular," said Michael Emory,
President and CEO of Allied. "It bodes well for our value-creation
activity going forward."
