TORONTO, July 10, 2018 /CNW/ - Invesque Inc. (TSX: IVQ.U) (the "Company") completed its acquisition ("Acquisition") of a medical office building ("Property") located in Williamsville, NY, a suburb of Buffalo.

The Company purchased the Property for approximately USD$7.7 million, expanding the Company's medical office building portfolio to 15 properties spread throughout North America. The Property bolsters a strong occupancy of 93% while adding close to 35,000 rentable square feet to the Company's portfolio. The Property will be included in the Company's medical office building portfolio, which is managed by Mohawk Medial Management Corp. as part of the previously announced acquisition of Mohawk Medical Properties REIT.

"This follow-on acquisition demonstrates the strength of our partnership with Mohawk, and our platform as a whole." stated Scott White, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see opportunities in the medical office sector and expect to leverage our platform to execute on those opportunities."
