The Trinity Apartments complex is comprised of two three-storey buildings situated on a large 1.35-acre site. The “California” style building design offers large studio style suites with individual entrances that appeal to a wide range of tenants that enjoy having their own front door including students attending the nearby Vancouver Island University. This building design offers a low maintenance and cost-effective alternative to traditional buildings as there are no common area hallways and lobbies to heat, maintain or clean.
The Trinity Apartments has undergone a significant transformation under the current ownership with almost all of the suites being fully renovated, new exterior paint (2019) and new on-demand hot water system (2018). One of the units has been converted into an onsite managers office with a modern security system including 39 security cameras positioned around the property. Many of the large studios lend themselves nicely to a conversion opportunity to create junior 1-bedroom suites and the current owner has already completed the conversion of a couple of suites. The studio style suites command market leading price per foot rents and provide good turnover, ensuring rents keep up with inflation.
Overall, a new owner stands to benefit from the acquisition of a well-capitalized asset with recurring cashflow, income growth and limited capital expenditure requirements going forward as well as a balanced roster of demand drivers that ensures the Trinity Apartments will remain a sought-after rental complex for years to come.[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title="Investment Highlights" title_align="separator_align_left"][vc_column_text]+ UNIQUE SCALE: With 70 suites, the Trinity Apartments offers unique scale providing for management efficiencies in a market characterized by smaller buildings.
+ LOW MAINTENANCE BUILDING DESIGN: The “California” architectural design provides a low maintenance and cost-effective alternative to traditional buildings as there are no common area hallways and lobbies to heat, maintain and clean.
+ TENANT PAID HEAT: Electric heat metered to and paid for by the tenants significantly reducing owner operating expenses.
+ SUITE MIX & CONVERSION POTENTIAL: Larger than average studio suites with individual entrances appeal to a wide range of tenants, maximize per square foot rents, generate healthy turnover and present the opportunity to convert the large studios into Jr. 1 Bedrooms suites to further maximize rental revenue.
+ STRONG FUNDAMENTALS: Canadian multifamily is one of the tightest property sectors in North America and the Nanaimo rental market is characterized by a growing housing undersupply, ownership cost challenges and record population growth leading to near zero vacancy levels and rapid market rent growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="52px"][vc_text_separator title="Property Photos" title_align="separator_align_left"][vc_gallery type="image_grid" images="5655,5658,5684,5683,5681,5682,5663,5664,5665,5666,5656,5661" img_size=""][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title="Contact" title_align="separator_align_left"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text]
