Real estate investment firm completes forward purchase of Hamilton high-rise
Earlier this week, a Toronto-based real estate investment and asset management firm has completed its forward purchase of a high-rise multi-residential property situated in downtown Hamilton, a move that the company said was intended to help alleviate the long-running scarcity issues in the Greater Toronto Area.

Regency Suites, the newly constructed 29-storey luxury concrete building acquired by Starlight Investments, accommodates 321 units and boasts of a multi-level indoor parking garage.

“All units include in-suite laundry, luxury finishes and state-of-the-art HVAC. Upper floors include two-storey units with exceptional views of Hamilton Harbour and the Niagara Escarpment,” Starlight announced. “Amenities include a well-equipped fitness facility with yoga studio, rooftop patio with pavilion and water feature, 4K cinema, games room and social room.”

“Starlight is pleased to continue to grow its high-rise presence in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area with the addition of this luxury multi-residential building situated in the heart of downtown Hamilton,” Starlight CEO Daniel Drimmer said.

“The property represents Starlight's second newly constructed multi-residential acquisition in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in the last six months and exemplifies the success of Starlight's Canadian multi-residential forward purchase contract program.”

Starlight currently manages $7 billion of multi-residential and commercial properties nationwide.
