Location: Windsor, Ontario
Property Type: Mixed-Use Commercial
Acquired: 2022

Strategy:
Creative financing using a vendor take-back mortgage with interest-only payments during renovations, combined with value-add improvements including the addition of a new unit and utility separation.

Overview:
This mixed-use commercial property was acquired as a value-add opportunity with strong fundamentals and untapped potential. The asset required strategic repositioning and operational improvements to unlock additional income and long-term value.

Outcome:
Through disciplined execution and targeted renovations, the property has been stabilized and improved operationally. The project is now approaching three years of ownership and is currently being positioned for a CMHC refinance, reflecting the value created through thoughtful planning and execution.

Location: Windsor, ON
Property Type: Purpose-Built Six-Plex
Acquired: 2024

Strategy:
Acquisition of a newer, purpose-built multi-unit asset with strong in-place fundamentals, combined with disciplined operations and structured financing to optimize capital efficiency and long-term performance.

Overview:
This six-unit residential building was acquired as a stabilized asset featuring modern construction, fully separated utilities, and in-unit laundry across all suites. The investment focused on operational execution and income optimization rather than physical renovation, allowing for a clean, scalable ownership structure.

Outcome:
Within approximately 15 months of acquisition, the property experienced a meaningful increase in appraised value and is currently being positioned for a CMHC refinance at a higher loan-to-value ratio. This strategy is expected to return a significant portion of investor capital while preserving full equity positions, demonstrating an efficient capital recycling approach within a short hold period.

Additional Highlights:
The property includes multiple income streams and modern features such as rented garages, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and energy-efficient systems, supporting strong tenant demand and operational durability.
