“We are pleased to report that investment in this second of a planned series of education themed real estate projects by CIBT Group was again sold-out within a short time frame,” commented by Toby Chu, President, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of CIBT Education Group Inc. “The company continues to seek out strategic locations to expand our portfolio of education related serviced apartments and hotel projects throughout the Lower Mainland.  We are planning to acquire additional properties by partnering with accredited domestic and overseas investors with a view to establishing as many footprints as possible throughout the Lower Mainland.  In addition to serviced apartments and short-stay hotels for students, CIBT is seeing a substantial wave of affordable housing needs for technology workers migrating from across Canada and the United States to Vancouver as major software development companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Sony’s Imageworks are establishing their development centres in Vancouver thereby creating tens of thousands of technology related jobs.  A BC Stats report indicated that revenue for British Columbia’s tech sector rose 3.5% in 2012 to $23.2 billion.  Our school subsidiaries and student housing subsidiaries will be ready to accept this additional wave of technology students and housing demand growth.  Such growth is expected to reach 200,000 foreign students residing in the Lower Mainland in the next 8 years.”
