Increased financing proof of value add creation

LONDON, Ontario – July 20, 2021 – CCI Corpfin Capital Inc. and McCOR Management are pleased to announce a refinancing of their Westmount Commons redevelopment project in London, Ontario which will see the current shopping centre evolve into a mixed-use development that will be better able to serve the needs of a changing community. 

The successful refinancing allows the project to continue with its dramatic repositioning of the asset with very competitive and affordable terms of financing made available by the Toronto-Dominion Bank and increasing from $22 million to $30 million commencing with an initial draw of $ 3.2 million. 

The upward financing is a testament of the value add creation to date, taking the project from less than 50% occupancy when acquired in 2018 to over 75% occupied and committed leasing by July 2021. 

Gord Wiebe, CEO and Principal, CCI Corpfin Capital states, “the success of the project continues and validates the asset management plan to transform a two-level fashion mall to a vibrant mixed-use amenity offering retail, medical and professional office and experiential retail.”  Further details on this project and other redevelopments of commercial assets across Canada, please visit our website at www.corpfincapital.ca
