AP.UN Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust

Allied Properties REIT (TSX: AP.UN) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Perimeter Development Corporation to purchase a 50% undivided interest in The Breithaupt Block, 20-24 & 51 Breithaupt Street, Kitchener, for $4 million.

Located in the Warehouse District of Kitchener and in close proximity to Allied's property at 72 Victoria Street, The Breithaupt Block is comprised of (i) six former industrial buildings with approximately 176,000 square feet of GLA and (ii) approximately two acres of surplus land with long-term development potential. The former industrial buildings will be redeveloped as a Class I office complex, with completion scheduled for mid-2013.

"This is a great opportunity for us to augment our position in the Warehouse District of Kitchener and to develop a working relationship with an accomplished developer in the area," said Michael Emory, President & CEO. "Not only do we expect to create meaningful value in the Class I office complex, we see significant long-term value creation potential in the surplus land."

Perimeter will oversee the redevelopment and manage the property. Perimeter specializes in adaptive re-use, redevelopment and mixed-use projects in growth markets across the GTA and Southwestern Ontario. "The Breithaupt Block provides a unique opportunity to satisfy strong tenant demand for strategically located, Class I office space with easy access to public transportation, restaurant and retail amenities and good residential stock," said David Gibson, Founder & CEO of Perimeter.

The acquisition is expected to close on December 1, 2010, subject to customary conditions. Allied will carry the investment as a Property Under Development until the redevelopment is complete and will assist in securing development financing from third-party sources on acceptable terms.
