TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2020 /CNW/ - Automotive Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: APR.UN) ("Automotive Properties REIT" or the "REIT") announced today that it has completed the previously-announced acquisition of the Acura automotive dealership property located in North Vancouver, British Columbia ("Acura North Vancouver") from the Dilawri Group ("Dilawri") for a purchase price of approximately $17.5 million.

Acura North Vancouver, located at 828 Automall Drive, occupies 2.4 acres of land and includes a full-service Acura automotive dealership facility. 

The REIT funded the purchase price for the acquisition of Acura North Vancouver with proceeds from its public offering of trust units completed on December 23, 2019 (the "December 2019 Offering").

Acura North Vancouver is one of two automotive dealership properties that the REIT previously announced it had agreed in principle to acquire from Dilawri in conjunction with the December 2019 Offering; the other being the BMW automotive dealership property located in Regina, Saskatchewan ("Regina BMW"). The REIT completed the acquisition of the Regina BMW property on February 5, 2020.
