Dream Unlimited Corp. (TSX: DRM) (“Dream”, “the Company” or
“we”) today provided a business update on transactional
and operational activity for the month of June 2020.
Dream has now closed on the sale of its indirect
interest in a renewable power portfolio to Potentia Renewables Inc.
In addition, we are near completion of the re-financing of the
Distillery District, which comprises 395,000 sf of commercial and
retail GLA in downtown Toronto. In aggregate, these transactions
will generate cash of $130 million for Dream, which will be used to
pay down corporate level debt and provide additional liquidity for
the Company.
We are pleased to announce that Dream has
entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in a portfolio
of apartments located in Dallas, Texas, expected to close in early
July 2020 (the “Dallas Acquisition”). The 1,200-unit portfolio will
be acquired alongside Pauls Corp. for approximately $150,000 per
unit, for a total investment of $15 million USD, after assuming
agency debt and mezzanine financing at Dream’s share. Our current
intent is to hold the portfolio for the long-term, which may become
the seed investment for our recently announced private equity arm,
Dream Equity Partners. Through the launch of Dream Equity Partners,
we intend to leverage our core competencies in managing and
developing office, multifamily, industrial and mixed-use assets in
Canada, the United States and Europe focused on core, core-plus and
value-add investments.
Dream has approved the commencement of servicing
of the first phase of Alpine Park, within Providence, located in
the south west of Calgary. We consider this to be a significant
milestone for Dream as the first phase of Alpine Park was
originally acquired in 1997. Based on current market assumptions,
we expect initial phases of Alpine Park to generate income between
2021 – 2026 and cash of approximately $70 million. The first phase
of servicing will require an additional $35 million of cash and we
anticipate having $36 million of committed sales by the end of June
2020. Our initial phases of Alpine Park comprise 136 acres of
Dream’s total 1,600-acre landholding within Providence. Over the
last few years we have reduced working capital in Western Canada,
bringing in a majority partner in Glacier Ridge, selling parcels,
lots and houses, and selectively starting communities that are
quickly cash flow positive. We have generated approximately $60
million of cash from Western Canada in 2020 and expect, over time,
to earn profits and generate cash flow while reducing our overall
investment in the 9,100 acres of land within this division.
Our development projects continue to progress
steadily despite the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19
pandemic. Consistent with prior guidance, we anticipate further
occupancy income and final unit closings to occur in 2020 at
Riverside Square, BT Towns, Canary Block and Kanaal, our
condominium projects located in downtown Toronto and Ottawa. In
addition, we continue to make progress on the development of our
income properties including: Block 211 of Zibi, which has been
leased to the Federal Government of Canada and will be completed by
late 2021; our Brighton Village Centre purpose-built rental
building in our master-planned community of Holmwood in Saskatoon;
and Block 8 within our West Don Lands development, all of which
will further increase the value of our best-in-class income
properties upon completion. For further details on our projects
under development, refer to the Summary of Dream’s Assets and
Holdings section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for
the first quarter of 2020.
