bmIMC Acquires Interest in Complex

On November 13, 2002, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (bcIMC) and Calgary-based Pointe of View Marketing & Management Inc. completed a transaction respecting the development of Discovery Pointe, a $60 million residential complex in Calgary.

The pre-purchase transaction included bcIMC’s acquisition of a volumetric air-space parcel within which a 225-unit rental apartment tower is to be constructed and leased by Pointe of View on behalf of bcIMC pursuant to a development agreement. Pointe of View retained a further parcel within which a second tower is to be constructed and subdivided into 125 condominium units to be marketed by Pointe of View. GWL Realty Advisors Inc. managed the acquisition and will continue to act on behalf of bcIMC in connection with the project.
