Virtus Diversified REIT Expands Northern Ontario Portfolio with Acquisition of Pearl Street Apartments

TORONTO, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtus Capital Corporation, the asset manager for Virtus Diversified REIT (VREIT), is pleased to announce the strategic acquisition of a multi-family residential property located at 38-52 Pearl Street in Sudbury, Ontario. Purchased for $3.3 million, the acquisition strengthens the REIT’s presence in the Sudbury market and aligns with its objective of securing income-producing assets in established urban centers.
The Pearl Street property is a three-story, low-rise apartment building, offering a total of 23 residential units. The building features a versatile unit mix consisting of 3 bachelor suites, 13 one-bedroom apartments, and 7 two-bedroom units. Strategically located near the intersection of Elm Street and Notre Dame Avenue, the property is situated in a high-demand area.
“We are very pleased to add this asset to our residential portfolio,” said Aurelio Baglione, CEO of Virtus. “The Pearl Street acquisition represents a disciplined investment in a market we know well. Furthermore, with many rents sitting at nearly half the market price, there is a strong opportunity for value creation over time. The formula remains the same, buy a solid asset with good existing cashflow, let time do the rest.”
