MONTRÉAL, Oct. 14, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: BTB. UN) ("BTB" or the "REIT") announces that it has waved conditions for the acquisition of two Class A life-science and technology office buildings located at 2600 Alfred-Nobel Boulevard and at 2344 Alfred-Nobel Boulevard (the "Properties") in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montréal, province of Québec. The REIT also successfully closed a new financing agreement with the National Bank of Canada.

The aggregate purchase price for the Properties is $74 million dollars and this accretive acquisition should be concluded by the end of October 2021 and will be funded from proceeds received from the last equity raise and available funds.

Bristol-Myers Squibb, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ICU Medical, Haivision Systems, Innomar Strategies, Lundbeck Canada, and Beiersdorf. The Montréal Technoparc is an important technology hub in Montreal.

(2250 Alfred-Nobel Boulevard and 7150 Alexander-Fleming Street) in the Montréal Technoparc, consolidating BTB's position in this important technology hub.
