When will the market catch on? This is MPCT's strategy When will the market catch on, that MPCT's affordable housing apartment rental strategy is the best strategy in today's apartment market?
- No Rental Caps / Rent Control on our market rate units (80% have no rent caps)
- Development Charge Waivers saving construction costs in Toronto
- Property Tax Reduction and waivers by the City of Toronto (increases NOI and competive advantage)
- GST/HST Waiver (Huge Savings for new apartment developments)
- ACLP CMHC Funding (10 Year Non-Recourse Loans set at 10 Year Bond Rate (Around 3.2% right now)) with non-recourse debt
- Up to 50 year amortization on our new developments, increasing cash flow
- Construction Financing is interest only payments until stabilized
- Construction Financing covers up to 100% of the construction costs, resulting in no additional capital commitment by MPCT
- A lack of new construction resulting in a deficit in supply/demand going forward
- Renters do not want to rent from condo owners, they want to rent in purpose built rentals to remove the risk of owner occupied evictions. New supply of PBRs is incredibly low.
- Dream is on the Frequent Builder Program resulting in fast approvals and reduced risk
MPCT is sitting on ~20,000 units we can build, in which we will likely build half as purpose built rentals, and the rest sell. Our land bank leaves over a decade of growth while our cost of holding this land is falling quickly as our land loans are being paid off. We are well supported by the government with the recent announcement CMHC Apartment Construction Loan Program being extended through 2031-2032. This solidifies the business model.
MPCT is trading at around 20% of NAV, at a ~80M market cap. To easily show the current mispricing of units, 49 Ontario may bring in $130M for a 75% sale of that one asset. If we sold 100%, that would put the value of the asset at around 170M, with 80M of debt, would equal to 90 Million of liquidity. More cash than the entire market cap of the REIT. Although it is anticipated we will only be selling 75% for around 130M (no details announced). That is just ONE asset we own.
Always do your own DD. Not investment advice. MPCT is too illiquid to trade, so do not purchase more units than you are willing to hold for 12+ months.
