European Residential REIT (ERES) has agreed to a $441 million all-cash takeover by CAPREIT. Unitholders will receive $1.19 per unit, representing a 32 per cent premium when combined with previous distributions. The deal concludes a multi-year strategic review focused on maximizing investor value. ERES is expected to be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange following the transaction's closure, which is anticipated in the second quarter of 2026.
CAPREIT has confirmed the acquisition of six new rental properties across Canada, totalling nearly $293 million in investment. The deal includes major residential complexes in Quebec, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, aimed at modernising the firm's portfolio. Alongside these purchases, the trust has committed $94 million to share buybacks as part of its ongoing capital strategy.
