The increase in FFO of $19.7 million is mainly due to the following:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>An increase in NOI of $6.7 million, primarily due to the acquisition of properties;</li><li>An increase of $17.3 million due to the reversal of land rent expense relating to the land rent arbitration settlement;</li><li>A decrease in management and advisory fees of $1.0 million;</li><li>An increase in interest expense of $5.0 million, primarily due to higher interest on Unsecured Debentures, bank indebtedness and on the financing of acquisitions;</li><li>An increase in property management and corporate expense of $1.5 million;</li><li>A decrease in the non-controlling interest's share of FFO of $1.5 million;</li><li>An unrealized fair value gain on financial instruments of $0.8 million;</li><li>An increase due to a gain of $2.7 million on the recognition of a finance lease during the second quarter of 2018; and</li><li>A decrease in other income of $1.5 million.</li></ul><p>The change in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact on FFO of $0.5 million ($0.05 per common share).</p><p>Normalized FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was $57.4 million, or $5.01 per common share, versus $52.3 million, or $4.39 per common share, for the same period in 2017, which represents an increase of $5.1 million, or 9.8%. Normalized FFO is computed as FFO adjusted for the impact of non-recurring items net of tax.</p><p><strong>Third Quarter Dividend</strong></p><p>The Board of Directors of Morguard Corporation announced that the third quarterly, eligible dividend of 2018 in the amount of $0.15 per common share will be paid on September 28, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 14, 2018.</p><p>The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, along with Management's Discussion and Analysis will be available on the Company's website at <a href="/"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.morguard.com</span></a> and will be filed with SEDAR at <a href="http://www.sedar.com/"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.sedar.com</span></a>.</p><p><strong>Non-IFRS Measures</strong><br><strong> </strong><br>The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

These results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). </p><p>The Trust's net income and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was $43.4 million versus $52.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.</p><p>The decrease of $9.0 million is largely the result of fair value changes. Fair value gains for the three months ended June 30, 2018, were $22.1 million, versus an overall gain of $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.</p><p>Income before fair value gains and net income from equity-accounted investment was $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $23.2 million for the same period ended June 30, 2017. The decrease of $1.3 million is largely the result of a decrease in net operating income.</p><p>Net operating income was $36.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, versus $38.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.</p><p>The decrease in net operating income of $1.1 million is largely the result of increased vacancy and lower base rents in the Trust's office and retail portfolios. In the retail portfolio, increased vacancy, including the impact of vacancy tied to the Sears Canada Inc. space (approximately $0.4 million), and reduced rental rates were partially offset by increased revenue from the Trust's development program. Since January 1, 2017, 303,700 square feet of development activity became income producing. These projects contributed $1.4 million to revenue in the second quarter, an increase of $1.0 million from the second quarter of 2017.</p><p>The Trust's fully diluted funds from operations ("FFO") for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was $24.8 million ($0.36 per unit) versus $26.0 million ($0.38 per unit) for the same three months ended June 30, 2017. This represents a decrease of $1.2 million ($0.02 per unit). The decrease in FFO is largely attributed to the decrease in net operating income.</p><p>The Trust continues with its development program and expects an additional 197,500 square feet of new area under intensification and remerchandised area to become income producing by the end of 2018. The Trust has secured commitments on 79% of the remerchandised area and 57% of the area under intensification.</p><p><strong>Net Operating Income, Funds from Operations</strong></p><p>This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income and funds from operations on a total and per unit basis. Net operating income is defined as income from property operations after operating expenses have been deducted, but prior to deducting interest expense, general and administrative expenses and fair value gains/(losses). The Trust presents FFO in accordance with the Real Property Association of Canada white paper on funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations for IFRS issued February 2018. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is widely accepted as a supplemental measure of financial performance for real estate entities. In accordance with such white paper, the Trust defines FFO as net income adjusted for fair value changes on real estate properties and gains/(losses) on the sale of real estate properties.</p><p><strong>Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis</strong></p><p>The Trust's Q2 2018 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis along with its 2017 Annual Report are available on the Trust's website at <a href="/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><font color="#0066cc">www.morguard.com</font></span></a> and have been filed with SEDAR at <a href="http://www.sedar.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><font color="#0066cc">www.sedar.com</font></span></a> </p><p><strong>Conference Call Details:</strong></p><div><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border:0px currentcolor;border-collapse:collapse;"><tbody><tr><td style="border:0pt black;text-align:left;padding-right:6pt;padding-left:6pt;vertical-align:top;"><p style="margin:0in;color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;">Date: </span></p></td><td style="border:0pt black;text-align:left;padding-right:6pt;padding-left:6pt;vertical-align:top;"><p style="margin:0in;color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;">Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. (ET)</span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:0pt black;text-align:left;padding-right:6pt;padding-left:6pt;vertical-align:top;"><p style="margin:0in;color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;">Conference Call #: </span></p></td><td style="border:0pt black;text-align:left;padding-right:6pt;padding-left:6pt;vertical-align:top;"><p style="margin:0in;color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;">416-764-8688 or 1-888-390-0546 </span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border:0pt black;text-align:left;padding-right:6pt;padding-left:6pt;vertical-align:top;"><p style="margin:0in;color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;">Conference ID #:</span></p></td><td style="border:0pt black;text-align:left;padding-right:6pt;padding-left:6pt;vertical-align:top;"><p style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;"><span style="color:black;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;">61098862</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p> </p><p><strong>About Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust</strong></p><p>The Trust is a closed-end real estate investment trust, which owns a diversified portfolio of 48 retail, office and industrial income producing properties in Canada with a book value of $2.9 billion and approximately 8.4 million square feet of leasable space.</p><br><div><p></p><p>please contact: Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust, K.

The REIT plans to complete significant capital upgrades during the remainder of 2018, at which point initial lease up will commence. The newly acquired property, located in the Garden District is within close proximity to The Georgian, the REIT's 135 suite mid-rise apartment complex and nearby Tulane and Loyola universities. The acquisition allows the REIT to increase its presence in the immediate area and to benefit from management efficiencies between the two properties.<br><br></li><li

residential transactions increase while office and industrial transactions slow
due to product availability
</em></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>The overall pace of Canadian
commercial real estate transactions slowed in the second quarter of 2018 but
the dip in volume has nothing to do with demand for assets, according to the <a href="/news-knowledge/research" target="_blank">latest
Research Report</a> issued by Morguard Corporation ("Morguard") (TSX:
MRC). </p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>"A drop in transaction
volume in the second quarter is very much a function of low product
availability rather than a drop in demand," said Keith Reading, Director
of Research at Morguard. "With quality office and industrial space at a
premium, apartments are a crowd favourite as investors search for yield."</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>Multi-suite residential
properties bucked the second quarter trend, with transaction volumes growing by
17.5% year-over-year. Persistent rental growth, combined with a positive
long-term sector forecast, has led to rising values for apartment properties in
most of Canada's major markets. The U.S. multi-suite residential sector also
continued to provide value for Canadian investors, given healthy fundamentals
driven by positive demographic trends and stable demand.</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>The supply-demand imbalance has
driven up prices in key markets and asset types to an extent, particularly for
Class A, new-build assets. A shortfall of functional space has also been
characteristic of the strong leasing activity in the office and industrial
sectors, with cycle-low vacancy rates occurring in most regions. Newly built
speculative development, while still lower than the long-term average, also saw
substantial pre-leasing activity.</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>"Office and industrial
tenants who are looking to expand or move to new premises are being forced to
make do with what they have due to a lack of alternatives in the downtowns of
certain metros," said Reading. "Landlords of prime assets are
enjoying record occupancy levels and steadily increasing rents as supply
remains tight."</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p>On the economic front, the Bank
of Canada's July interest rate increase was widely anticipated by investors.
The rate hike indicates the Bank expects Canadian economic activity to pick up
through the balance of the year, despite increasing concerns surrounding
escalating Canada/U.S. trade tariffs and a slowdown in the national housing
market.</p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
