The First Meadowvale Centre Phase 2 office tower in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, is being sold to True North Commercial REIT for $87.5 million.
The office property is the second purchased by True North (TNT.UN-T) as part of a previously-announced acquisition to deploy equity from its $80.5-million issue of units earlier in November. The REIT also purchased the Trillium Executive Centre, in Markham north of Toronto, with a portion of those funds.
The LEED Gold-certified, class-A First Meadowvale Centre Phase 2 was developed by Toronto’s First Gulf and opened in 2012. The 10-storey mid-rise is located at 6925 Century Avenue along the Highway 401 corridor.
It contains 252,200 square feet of space including what True North calls “modern common areas” and an on-site eatery.
The property is 7.24 acres, and offers a total of 895 parking stalls, including 68 underground stalls and 827 surface stalls.

The location offers direct highway visibility along Highway 401, is a short walk from the Meadowvale GO Station and numerous MiWay bus connections. First Meadowvale Centre Phase 2 is part of a larger office campus in the area, which includes three other developments.
The surrounding neighbourhoods offer services such as hotels, restaurants, fitness facilities and major shopping centres.
With a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.2 years, the complex is fully occupied by what True North says is a strong-covenant tenant roster, anchored by Golder Associates and Intact Insurance.
True North is financing the transaction with first mortgage financing of $56.875 million, with the balance coming from its equity raise. Closing is expected to be on or about Dec. 12.
