Delavaco Residential Properties Corp Enters Into an Agreement to Purchase Its Third Multifamily Property in Austin Texas

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 21, 2014) - Delavaco Residential Properties Corp. ("Delavaco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DVO.U) (DELAF) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Terrain (the "Property"), a 101-unit multifamily apartment community located in Austin, Texas for a purchase price of $10 million USD.

The Acquisition

Terrain, a 101 unit multifamily property, was built in 1984 and is currently approximately 95% occupied, with average monthly rents of approximately $1,007.00 USD per unit. The Property is located in Williamson Creek in Austin Texas, 5 miles south of the Austin central business district and Capital, and within 0.8 miles of the Company's other two multifamily properties. The Austin central business district is home to many large employers, a thriving entertainment district, numerous restaurants, and a host of outdoor recreational activities in and around Lady Bird Lake.

Terrain is also in close proximity to St. David's Medical Centre, The University of Texas and St. Edward's College. Several Austin Community Colleges are located nearby as well.

Austin has been ranked "America's fastest growing city" for a fourth year in a row by Forbes. According to bizjournal, 110 people move to Austin every day. Austin's economy continues to expand while the population grows and jobs are created. Texas Workforce Commission reported that Austin employers added 37,000 jobs last year for an increase of 4.5%. The 4.5% unemployment rate in Austin is well below the national average of 6.7% and the state average of 5.5%.

The Lone Star State is making a case for being the next hub for technology jobs. Texas is adding tech and engineering jobs faster than any other state, and is reported as one of the top 10 fastest-growing states for technology careers. In the first half of 2014, Texas added 8,100 tech jobs, nearly a six percent increase, creating a total of 143,300 tech positions across the state.

The aggregate purchase price is payable as follows: cash deposit of $3.5MM and a 10 year 65% loan to value mortgage totaling $6.5 million USD. The mortgage will consist of interest and principal payments with an interest rate of approximately 3.9% and a 30 year amortization. There will be a 5 year interest only component to the loan.

"We are very happy to have successfully negotiated the Terrain acquisition. Austin is an incredible city and the growth is fueled by so many sectors. It has clearly become America's new tech hub and those people need nice places to live. We targeted Texas as a state for the Delavaco portfolio with Austin as our focus, and Terrain fits perfectly," commented Andrew DeFrancesco, Delavaco CEO.
