Bluevale Capital Expands to Metro Vancouver through Mariner Watch Apartments Acquisition with Financing from KingSett Capital


TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bluevale Capital Group (“Bluevale”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Mariner Watch Apartments in the heart of Maple Ridge, British Columbia. This is Bluevale’s second major acquisition in 2022 as the firm continues its current expansion plans into Western Canada. Mariner Watch Apartments is a 21-unit multi-family waterfront property located in Haney, Maple Ridge’s largest neighborhood. The closing was completed with loan financing from KingSett Capital. 

Bluevale’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, Jefferson Huang has stated that “There has been a lot of capital being deployed into this neighborhood recently. When you have a 200+ unit development literally right next door to us, it changes the profile of the neighborhood. There has been a 10% spike in population growth in Maple Ridge in the last five years, which is double the rate of Vancouver; with that growth rate and the lack of available affordable housing, we were very keen on this specific area.”

“We want to thank everyone that has been involved in this project, especially our newest investors from British Columbia,” adds Co-Founder and Managing Director Samuel Karamanis. “We are extremely diligent in ensuring we maximize our investors opportunities before we even take possession. That said, we are already at 25% vacancy and have assembled a team in Metro Vancouver. The optimization phase will begin immediately and we expect to finish this project in about 6 months, 8 months ahead of schedule”

Jonathan Thomson, Director of Mortgage Investments at KingSett, commented that “We are excited to partner with Bluevale on this project and to be a part of the constantly changing landscape in Maple Ridge. We are looking forward to the future opportunities our two companies can work together on.”
