Minto Apartment REIT has completed the sale of its 150 Roehampton property in Toronto’s Midtown areaa for $90.75 million to an unidentified private real estate investor.

The sale price represents a premium to the REIT’s IFRS value for the asset, Minto said previously. Net proceeds of approximately $67 million, after mortgages and commissions, are expected to be used to repay a portion of the REIT’s variable-rate revolving credit facility and for general trust purposes.

The property, built in 2007, comprises 148 newly renovated apartments and a full suite of amenities, and is located near the intersection of Yonge and Eglinton streets. The transaction closed on schedule.

The REIT said previously the sale is expected to result in a non-cash special distribution.

Minto Apartment REIT is an open-ended REIT that owns and operates income-producing multi-residential properties across Canada, with a portfolio concentrated in major urban markets including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver.
