RHH Rental Properties Ltd., Bankruptcy

RHH Rental Properties Ltd. (“RHP”), a Guelph, Ontario-based real estate development company, filed an assignment in bankruptcy on June 18 listing approximately $94 million in liabilities, including significant sums owed to investors.

RHP is part of a larger group through which it developed several real estate projects in Ontario. RHP was the primary vehicle for sourcing investor funds (mostly through promissory notes) for the projects.

RHP has recently struggled, facing claims by investors demanding their money back and lawsuits by suppliers and property owners.

Last year, a 25-storey RHP project in Ottawa called Evoke GP was placed into receivership, while RHP entities associated with the “W London”, a student residence in London, Ontario, were placed into receivership / bankruptcy last month.

The company’s previous owner, Reid’s Heritage Group, made clear it is no longer associated with RHP and has nothing to do with the bankruptcy proceedings.

BDO is the bankruptcy trustee.

Counsel is Loopstra Nixon for certain investors.
