The Success Story of The Brookside Apartments: A Decade of Growth and Achievement

Freshcoast Investments • April 24, 2024

As I reflect on the past ten years, I am filled with gratitude and pride at the journey we've undertaken with The Brookside Apartments. Over TEN years ago I became the proud owner of this 24-unit building, marking the beginning of an incredible chapter in our investment portfolio. I wanted to document a bit of the journey that we have had with this awesome investment.

Investing in Excellence

From the outset, our goal with The Brookside Apartments was clear: to create a thriving community and a valuable asset for our investors. We began with essential maintenance tasks, washing the siding, updating windows, and ensuring that every aspect of the property was meticulously cared for. With the support of seven investor partners, we embarked on this journey with determination and commitment.


Navigating Challenges with Resilience

The road to success was not without its challenges. In 2015, the market in Alberta experienced a shift that impacted our initial expectations. However, our team's persistence, consistency, and patience proved to be invaluable assets. We weathered the storm, adapting our strategies and remaining steadfast in our commitment to The Brookside Apartments.



Achieving Milestones and Planning for the Future

Fast forward to today, and I am thrilled to share that our efforts have paid off in ways we could have only dreamed of. This year, we are scheduled to refinance, poised to return double the original capital investment to our investors. Additionally, we have exciting plans to update the exterior siding and decks, improve energy efficiency with new insulation, and enhance the interiors with modern amenities.


A Testament to Collaboration and Vision

The success of The Brookside Apartments is a testament to the power of collaboration and vision. Together, we have increased the equity in this property by an impressive $1.5 million from our original investment of $300,000, resulting in a remarkable 500% total Return on Investment or 50% annual ROI. This achievement underscores the potential of real estate investment and the value of working together towards a common goal.


Looking Ahead with Gratitude and Optimism

As we celebrate this milestone, I extend my deepest gratitude to all who had the trust and confidence in me from the beginning. Your support has been instrumental in our success, and I am honored to have been on this journey with you. As we plan for the future, I invite you to share your thoughts on how we can utilize the profits from our investment and continue to grow together.



Here's to ten years of growth, achievement, and partnership, and to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Thank you for your trust, and I look forward to many more years of success with The Brookside Apartments.

On March 12, 2025, the Bank of Canada (BoC) reduced its target for the overnight rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to 2.75%. This decision marks the seventh consecutive rate cut, reflecting ongoing concerns over economic uncertainties stemming from recent U.S. trade policies. Economic Context Canada entered 2025 with solid growth, but the imposition of U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum has introduced significant challenges. BoC Governor Tiff Macklem highlighted that these trade tensions have dampened consumer and business confidence, leading to restrained spending and investment. Implications for Homebuyers and Investors The recent interest rate reduction presents both opportunities and considerations for those involved in the housing market: Mortgage Financing: Lower interest rates can lead to reduced borrowing costs for mortgages, potentially making homeownership more accessible. Housing Market Dynamics: While the rate cut aims to stimulate economic activity, ongoing trade uncertainties may continue to influence market stability. Investment Opportunities: For investors, the current economic climate necessitates careful assessment of market conditions to identify viable opportunities. Fresh Coast Investments: Navigating Economic Uncertainty In this fluctuating economic environment, partnering with experienced real estate professionals like Fresh Coast Investments can provide valuable insights and opportunities. We offer fully furnished, all-inclusive rental properties in Grande Prairie, Alberta, catering to both short-term and long-term housing needs. Our portfolio is designed to meet the demands of professionals and families seeking quality accommodations amidst economic shifts. Conclusion The Bank of Canada's recent rate cut underscores the complexities of the current economic landscape. Engaging with knowledgeable real estate partners can help individuals and investors navigate these challenges effectively, making informed decisions that align with your financial goals.
