Oakridge Park Opening Marks Major Catalyst for GEC Properties

FRC Analyst's Comment

Oakridge Park Mall, described as the largest urban redevelopment project in Vancouver’s history, is scheduled to open this week. The $6.5B, 5 million sq.ft community will include luxury retail, ~3,000 residential units, office space, and major civic amenities.

The project is highly significant for GEC, as two of its development projects, GEC Oakridge and GEC Langara, are located within 100m–200m of the site, and are expected to benefit from increased neighborhood desirability and property values.

GEC operates B.C.’s largest off-campus student housing platform, comprising 14 buildings, with eight currently operating, and six under development.

Sells remaining Canadian education assets, now pure-play student housing

FRC Analyst's Comment

GEC has sold its remaining Canadian educational assets, transforming into a pure-play student housing company. These assets generated $8.4M in revenue in FY2025 (ended August 2025); deal terms were undisclosed, though our estimate of the sale price is between $7M and $12M.

GEC operates B.C.’s largest off-campus student housing platform, comprising 14 buildings, eight currently operating, and six under development with a total construction budget of $674M.

Key project updates: GEC® Langara recently received rezoning approval, and will be a 26-storey tower generating $13M projected annual revenue; GEC® Oakridge is scheduled for completion in March 2027, with projected annual revenue of $9M; and the Education Mega Center® in Surrey is pending final municipal approvals. Together, these three properties are expected to generate $47M in annual rental revenue once stabilized.

We note that rental assets typically offer inflation-protected income, and relatively steady cash flows, making them attractive to pension funds and institutional investors.

FRC Analyst's Comment
Positive – The Atmosphere project in Richmond, B.C., is a major real estate development for which GECC had previously provided a $60M deposit. The project stalled after the lender ceased funding, prompting GECC to write off its investment in 2022. Last week, the BC Court of Appeal overturned a lower court ruling in GECC’s favour, finding the lender in breach of contract. This is a significant development, strengthening GECC’s legal position, and raising the possibility of recovering part or all of the $60M previously written off, representing an unexpected gain.
