</font><p>Morguard Corporation
("Morguard") (TSX: MRC) and William Osler Health System celebrated a
major milestone with the topping off of the Ancillary Services Building
("ASB") at Etobicoke General Hospital ("EGH").</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>In 2016, the Morguard-led EGH
Health Partners consortium was awarded the mandate to design, build, finance
and maintain the $56 million medical office building through an alternative
financing arrangement. The six-storey, 156,000 square foot Class A building is
targeting LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold
certification.</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>"Morguard has the
flexibility to provide alternative financing options that offer innovative and
accessible means for the public sector to modernize and replace aging
infrastructure," said K. Rai Sahi, Chairman and CEO, Morguard Corporation.
"We are pleased to join our partners to celebrate a milestone in the development
of this modern facility that will provide world-class medical care in this
community."</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>The development of the medical
office building is a key component in the expansion and transformation
currently underway at EGH. It replaces the existing building, providing more
than twice the square footage to meet the hospital's growing needs and provides
additional value with connection to the newly constructed EGH patient tower
through a covered pedway on the second storey.</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>The medical office building was
designed to William Osler Health System's specifications and will be home to
physicians' offices, classrooms and outpatient programs and services including
a fracture clinic, diagnostic imaging and a satellite dialysis program.</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>"This marks a significant
milestone in the revitalization journey at EGH," said Ann Ford, Vice
President Facilities, Redevelopment and Information Technology at William Osler
Health System. "With the support of our partners, we are excited about the
tremendous progress we are making in transforming this site, which will help
increase access to the health care services most needed by patients and
families in the community." </p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>The project is a hybrid
infrastructure/commercial real estate alternative financing arrangement between
the Morguard-led consortium and William Osler Health System. Under the terms of
the partnership, Morguard will develop, own and operate the building for a
40-year term, with 100% of the space leased to William Osler Health System for
the duration. </p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

Morguard's 2017 awards exemplify a core operational focus on sustainability and dedication to best practices, which includes effective collaboration among building management teams and tenants. </p><p>Adding three new LEAP Awards to its collection in 2017, Morguard has consistently achieved recognition from HOOPP, including 12 LEAP Awards across eight categories since the program's inception in 2012. Morguard's continued acknowledgement for leadership in energy conservation underscores the company's ongoing commitment to Responsible Property Investing as a best practice in the real estate industry.</p><p>"Sustainability is embedded in Morguard's culture and daily operational practices," said K. Rai Sahi, Chairman and CEO, Morguard Corporation. "The HOOPP Awards recognize the valuable partnerships we have built with our investors, clients, tenants and employees to further sustainability initiatives across Canada. This is an opportunity for us and our key stakeholders to reaffirm our shared vision and commitment to achieving positive environmental and community change together." </p><p>"As a major investor with $12 billion in real estate assets and partnerships with companies across Canada and globally, HOOPP's sustainability influence extends beyond just the buildings we own. HOOPP engages all of our partner companies in efforts to reduce the environmental impact of buildings, through initiatives like the LEAP Conference and Awards," said Stephen Taylor, Vice President, HOOPP Real Estate.</p><p>Morguard was recognized by HOOPP for excellence in the following categories: </p><p><strong><br>Tenant Leader – Retail Award<br></strong><strong>New Sudbury Centre, Sudbury, Ontario</strong></p><p>Morguard received the <em>Tenant Leader: Retail Award</em> for the collaboration between New Sudbury Centre, the largest shopping mall in Northern Ontario, and one of its major tenants, Walmart. The HOOPP LEAP team highlighted the remarkable collaboration between Morguard and Walmart to promote energy efficiency and their commitment to sharing valuable information with other tenants in order to improve sustainability outcomes in the community. </p><p>Walmart completed a large scale retrofit of retail area lighting, replacing over 8,750 bulbs with a compatible LED substitute, while the New Sudbury Centre replaced over 325 bulbs in its service and loading dock areas. The centre's efforts in retrofitting will result in a total savings of over 98,000kWh per year for Walmart alone. New Sudbury Centre plans to drive even further energy savings by implementing this initiative in other tenant locations. See our case study on <a href="/"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.morguard.com</span></a>.</p><p><strong><br>Sustainability Innovation – Technology Award<br></strong><strong>Coquitlam Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia</strong></p><p>Morguard received the <em>Sustainability Innovator: Technology Award</em>. This Award recognized the strong sustainability impact of the centre's Heat Recovery Chiller System (HRC), its replicability and short payback period. The HRC may become this region's best tool in cutting greenhouse gas (GHGs) in the building sector. The Coquitlam Centre's heat recovery project resulted in a 70% reduction in annual gas consumption, 4% reduction in electricity, and 35% reduction in annual GHGs. The centre is also saving water due to decreased cooling tower use. These are significant results with remarkable impacts given the relatively small capital investment required.</p><p>2017 is the third consecutive year that Coquitlam Centre has received recognition for Sustainability Innovation. Prior to this year's Technology Award, Coquitlam Centre won the Sustainability Innovator Award in 2015, the Stakeholder Engagement Award in 2016.</p><p><strong><br>Sustainability Champion Award<br></strong><strong>Ottawa Property Management Team</strong></p><p>Morguard's Ottawa Property Management team was the recipient of the <em>Sustainability Champion Award</em>. The team was recognized for their dedication to improving the sustainability performance of Morguard properties, particularly related to organics recycling. The Award highlights the relevant achievements from Esther McConaghy, who has been supporting the sustainability initiatives at the HOOPP Morguard managed office and industrial properties in Ottawa for nine years.</p><p>The Ottawa team's efforts In terms of waste diversion resulted in all building occupants agreeing to the implementation of full organics recycling programs, which in 2016 led to a total of 1,200 metric tonnes of organic waste being diverted from landfill at the HOOPP properties. The success of the program also relied on supporting tenants and staff with education and tools.

Sustainability has evolved from being simply a duty to being a competitive advantage - tenants are attracted to LEED-certified buildings, and committing to green energy helps attain LEED certification and drive tenant satisfaction.</p>
<font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font>
<p>Sustainability at Morguard is reflected in our approach to Responsible Property Investment (RPI) - a best practice in the Canadian real estate industry. Incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators into property business and capital plans provides investors with critical insights and allows Morguard to manage and operate efficient buildings.
