Alignvest Student Housing announced it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire two new student housing assets located at 315 King Street North and 328 Regina Street North in Waterloo, Ontario.

“We are excited to further solidify our position in Waterloo with the acquisition of these two high-quality student housing assets,” said Sanjil Shah, Managing Partner. “This purchase continues to expand on our growth strategy in the student housing market and propels the REIT’s bed count from 3,394 to 4,189 beds. These properties are located near the REIT’s existing assets at 333 and 339 King Street North and provides us with an opportunity to achieve additional scale efficiencies from having 2,205 beds in the Waterloo market.”
