TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2013 /CNW/ – Timbercreek Asset Management Inc.
(“Timbercreek” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce on behalf of
Timbercreek U.S. Multi-Residential Opportunity Fund #1 (the “Fund”), a
joint venture between Timbercreek and Elco Landmark Residential
Holdings (“Elco Landmark”), that it has completed the acquisition of a
296-unit multi-residential complex located in Orlando, Florida for
approximately $18.5 million. The property contains one, two and three
bedroom apartment suites situated in a garden-style complex, which
includes a clubhouse, two swimming pools, a fitness centre and barbeque
area. This acquisition represents the 7^th property acquired since the completion of the Fund’s initial public
offering on October 25, 2012.

“We are very pleased to be adding this property to the portfolio as it
not only satisfies our investment strategy, it allows us to further
diversify the portfolio geographically by expanding our reach into the
state of Florida. This property is one of the many value opportunities
we are seeing that are stemming from the correction in the U.S. real
estate market” states Ugo Bizzarri, Managing Director of the Manager
and member of the Investment Committee for the Fund. “We are always
looking to raise additional capital in order to continue to take
advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities.”

With this acquisition, the Fund’s portfolio now consists of 2,464 units
across seven multi-residential properties located in the southeastern
United States, specifically Austin, Texas, Charlottesville, Virginia,
Charlotte, North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Cary, North
Carolina and Orlando, Florida.

The Fund is focused on acquiring undervalued and/or undermanaged
multi-residential assets located in the southeastern United States, at
an advantageous price and significant discount to replacement cost. The
Fund is sponsored and managed by Timbercreek and operated by Elco
Landmark.

The Fund’s primary focus is on enhancing the value of the assets it
acquires by implementing an actively-managed repositioning and
renovation program, designed to invest capital into a property to
improve both cosmetic and structural elements.

The total return objective of the Fund is to generate a 15% internal
rate of return (or average annualized total rate of return) on a
pre-tax basis and net of all fees and expenses, including a quarterly
distribution with an annualized yield of 4%- 5%^*.
