Due to the nature of the property, the current value assessment of $105 million was calculated using the cost approach which included:
- Property improvements of over $10 million by the company since acquisition,
- Ongoing joint venture capital improvements by Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSXV: XLY) of over $50 million, and,
- Government-Issued Licenses for the production and sale of cannabis attached to the footprint of the property.
Also considered in the assessment were unique features of the site, including its classification as a special use/purpose government food-grade facility with rail access directly on the property, an on-site power generating station, and substantial ongoing capital renovations under Health Canada Guidelines and Specifications. In the opinion of the commercial real estate assessment specialist that provided the valuation, the property as a whole at the time of completion and operation of approximately 3,000,000 square feet would have an overall estimated property value of $420 million, based on an average cost of 250 dollars per square foot to build out.
At full capacity, the facility is expected to produce 400 million grams of dried cannabis flower per year.
Dr. Raza Bokhari, Interim CEO and Co-Chairman of the Board, stated: "The Company continues to collaborate with our partner Auxly to build out our Cobourg facility, which currently includes 620,000 square feet of building space available with a phased-in plan over the next 6 years to build out a total of 3,896,000 square feet. We are pleased to see that our ongoing efforts are paying off, both in terms of grow space expansion and capital investment."
