Thunder Bay, Ontario (FSCwire) - Mongolia Growth Group Ltd. (YAK ‐ TSXV and MNGGF - USA) Mongolia Growth Group Ltd. (“MGG”) or (“the Company”) www.mongoliagrowthgroup.com, a real estate investment and development company participating in the dynamic growth of the Mongolian economy via ownership of institutional-quality commercial property assets in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia is pleased to announce that it has completed renovations to create a new 1,110 meter medical facility in the downtown core of Ulaanbaatar.
In April of 2014, MGG signed a lease with a well-established medical tenant who will occupy the building beginning in early July, 2014. Since the prior anchor tenant downsized in November of 2013, the building has had occupancy of less than 40%. Upon occupancy by the medical tenant, along with associated service providers, the building will be fully leased, leading to an increase in MGG’s rental revenue.
“Since joining the Company, I have aimed to push the company into more specialized property segments where MGG’s unique in-house expertise can create value,” said Paul Byrne, CEO of MGG “This renovation has been our first renovate-to-suit mandate where we have specifically designed a property for the unique needs of a tenant. Furthermore, by repositioning this previously underperforming asset, we have diversified the portfolio into a segment of the economy that is less sensitive to economic volatility.”
“Ulaanbaatar currently suffers from a lack of modern medical facilities,” said Harris Kupperman, Executive Chairman of MGG. “We are proud that MGG has been able to add to the available medical space in the city by repurposing one of our office assets that was slated for renovation this year.”
