(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust ("CAPREIT") (TSX: CAR.UN) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of a mid-tier apartment complex in Calgary, Alberta consisting of six three-story buildings totaling 263 residential suites.

The property complex is located in the heart of downtown Calgary next to the Beaver Dam Flats neighbourhood and is close to parks, schools, walking and cycling paths and transportation links.
