TORONTO, July 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greybrook Securities Inc. and Greybrook Realty Partners Inc. are pleased to announce the successful closing of a $44,000,000 equity private placement of units of the Greybrook Waterfront Limited Partnership.

Proceeds from the placement will be used for the acquisition and development of a 2,000 unit multi-phase condominium project located on the Toronto Waterfront. The development will be done in partnership with the Castlepoint and Cityzen Development Groups, two of Toronto's leading residential developers.

The project, with an estimated completion value of approximately $1,000,000,000 is located on Toronto's waterfront, in the heart of Waterfront Toronto's exciting new re-development plan.

When developed, the project will offer buyers both unobstructed lakefront views as well as panoramic views of the city skyline and is conveniently located just steps away from public transportation, Union Station and the center of the downtown core.

"The Castlepoint Group along with Cityzen Developments is proud to be partnering with Greybrook on yet another high profile development project," commented Mario Romano, President of The Castlepoint Group. "We are extremely excited about the partnership, this project and the opportunity to create something special for the residents of this wonderful city to enjoy for generations to come."

He commented: "Greybrook is thrilled to be working with Castlepoint and Cityzen on this marquis development project that will undoubtedly bring Toronto's waterfront district to a world class level.
