June 18, 2026 – BGI Group, on behalf of the Church landowner, presents an exclusive transaction opportunity at 9281 Goreway Drive, Brampton, Ontario: a 649-unit, four-tower multi-generational residential campus. The project is imminently entitled by the City of Brampton following a three-year rezoning process, with institutional-grade CMHC documentation ready for immediate underwriting. The site generates $70M+ in land residual value, 1.59 debt service coverage ratio over 50 years at 3% interest, and $141.8M in net proceeds to equity holders.
The Goreway Towers project comprises four residential towers totaling 539,701 square feet above grade. Total development cost is positioned at $344M, representing $638 per square foot, with hard costs of $218.2M ($404/sf). The Church landowner contributes a $30M appraised site under an attractive transaction structure featuring two-year Vendor Take-Back financing at 50% / 5% interest, bridging prior to construction loan close. This financing mechanism removes traditional equity capital requirements from construction phase, materially improving cash flow timing for equity investors. The development projects Year 2 net operating income of $18.5M, driven by independent living service revenue and operational efficiencies from clinical adjacency. Using a 4.0% exit capitalization rate, the project's exit value reaches $461.6M, generating land residual uplift of $78.4M. After accounting for annual deferrals, net proceeds total $141.8M with annual cash flow of $4.92M—delivering immediate income to equity holders without requiring ongoing capital contributions.
BGI Group's entitlement strategy eliminates multi-year municipal process delays common to greenfield residential development. The City of Brampton has completed three years of rezoning and planning approvals, positioning the project to move directly to Site Plan Approval with a 12-month construction horizon. This accelerated timeline reflects completed feasibility studies, environmental assessments, and technical compliance documentation accepted by municipal planning staff. The project documentation includes 17 CMHC Seed Funding Reports covering feasibility analysis, environmental due diligence, and financial modeling. Brampton Planning Department technical studies address servicing capacity, traffic impact, and environmental compliance. Schematic architectural drawings provide flexibility for Site Plan Approval iterations while maintaining project economics. Zoning confirmation, entitlement correspondence, land appraisal, and title documentation are complete and institutional-ready, enabling transaction closure to precede construction financing close by 6-12 months.
The project meets federal housing agency standards through comprehensive pre-funding preparation. CMHC Premium financing totals $16.79M (6% of total cost, or $31.11/sf), positioning debt service at sustainable levels across the 50-year hold assumption. The 1.59 debt service coverage ratio at 3% interest meets institutional lender requirements for long-term affordable housing and mixed-income residential portfolios. All documentation required for CMHC underwriting is complete and verified—no additional studies or architectural revisions are required to satisfy federal compliance. This "audit-ready" documentation status dramatically accelerates construction loan issuance timelines, enabling closing within 60-90 days post-transaction agreement.
The four-tower campus accommodates distinct residential demographics while leveraging adjacency to clinical infrastructure and established senior living operators. Tower 1 provides 200+ seniors' apartment units positioned adjacent to the Hawthorn Woods Long-Term Care continuum, enabling referral flow and shared clinical resources unavailable on greenfield sites. Tower 2 delivers family housing with configurations up to four bedrooms, attracting multi-generational households seeking integrated senior care access. Tower 3 offers urban private-pay rental units (singles and couples) positioned for transit-oriented demand near public transit corridors. Tower 4 comprises premium independent living units as the primary debt service coverage driver, positioned for move-in during initial occupancy ramp. This multi-income, multi-demographic design generates blended Year 2 NOI of $18.5M while reducing operational overhead through adjacency to Dayspring, the Greater Toronto Area's largest adult lifestyle community. Shared clinical staff, dining facilities, programming, and transportation services create cost synergies unavailable in standalone developments. The Hawthorn Woods LTC and Dayspring ALC adjacency is irreplaceable—greenfield sites cannot replicate operational efficiencies generated by existing institutional infrastructure.
The project incorporates Passive House design standards achieving energy performance ≥30% below the 95th percentile Market Measure Ratio (MMR), with CSA compliance in ≥10% of unit mix. This energy-efficient design qualifies for CMHC financing programs rewarding ESG performance and positions the development for green mortgage premium pricing. Construction sequencing accommodates the Passive House certification process without delaying construction timelines.
An estimated 250 surface parking spaces may be accommodated through shared parking arrangements with adjacent Hawthorn Woods LTC and Dayspring ALC facilities. This parking arrangement could eliminate one underground parking level, materially reducing hard costs subject to mutual agreement with neighboring operators. Current financial modeling incorporates conservative full-cost parking assumption; parking optimization represents cost upside opportunity.
