Aug 31 (Reuters) - Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust (CWT_u.TO) said it agreed to buy two new Wal-Mart (WMT.N) anchored shopping centers in Ontario and Quebec for C$131 million.

Calloway also said it expects to invest an additional C$94 million over the next five years as additional space is built and occupied in the centers at Laval in Quebec and Sarnia in Ontario.
On completion, the Laval centre is expected to be Calloway's largest property, the shopping center-focused REIT said in a statement.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter, Calloway added.
On August 25, RioCan REIT (REI_u.TO) had said it plans to buy two new retail shopping centers in Ontario and Quebec for about C$102 million ($96.23 million) during the third quarter. [ID:nSGE67O0KS]
