Disposition Update

Pure Multi-Family announced today that the previously announced disposition of Fairways at Prestonwood ("Fairways"), dated August 5, 2016, has lapsed and the transaction was terminated. Upon termination of the transaction, Pure Multi-Family paid the outstanding mortgage payable of US$8,670,000, which was secured by Fairways.

Stephen Evans, CEO, stated, "It is unfortunate that the sale was not completed. The property is operating strongly and we are re-evaluating whether or not we choose to market this property for sale in the near future. We are pleased to have paid off the outstanding mortgage payable balance, as this gives Pure Multi clear title on the property, reducing future interest expenses and lowering the overall debt to gross book value of the portfolio."

Consistent with Pure Multi-Family's past practices and in the normal course, Pure Multi-Family engages in ongoing discussions with respect to possible acquisitions and dispositions. There can be no assurance that any of these discussions will lead to a conditional purchase agreement or will be completed.
