Fasken acted for the constitution of a close-ended real estate investment fund specializing in retirement homes in secondary markets in Québec, Fonds Immobilier Champlain RPA, S.E.C. Fasken acted for the constitution, initial closing and subsequent equity rounds of the Fund, which has a current (Fall 2019) capitalization of approx. $18M and $60M in assets. The fund expects to raise upwards of $100M in total capital and achieve $500M in assets. We have acted for the three co-sponsors in setting up the asset management entity for the fund (and possibly for future funds), as well as to set up the property management and development structures for the identification, acquisition and development of opportunities for the fund. We have also acted for the fund in closing its seed transactions and are currently working on numerous subsequent acquisitions throughout the province of Quebec.
We are, moreover, in the process of completing a strategic transaction for the fund, involving the acquisition of a portfolio of operating properties and development projects, the acquisition of a fifty percent interest in an existing property management platform and the setting up of a new development management platform to allow the fund to execute on its business plan.
