SITQ is pleased to announce today a new investment with Alberta Investment Management (AIM) in prime assets located in the heart of downtown Calgary. With this transaction, SITQ becomes an equal partner with AIM in the TD Canada Trust and TD Square projects. SITQ and AIM are also partners in Place Ville Marie, a landmark building located in downtown Montréal.

“Our investment in the TD Canada Trust and TD Square represents a significant step for SITQ, thus consolidating its position in the Calgary market, declared Paul Campbell, President and CEO of SITQ. Combined with the recent appointment of Peter Merchant, our new Senior Vice President, Calgary, SITQ will be in a strong position to take advantage of the dynamism demonstrated in this market.”

The portfolio in which SITQ acquired 50 % represents 1.8 million square feet comprised of office and commercial space.

The management of the two projects will be carried out by 20 VIC Management Inc., a Toronto-based company managing a national portfolio of retail, office and industrial properties.
