events, prospects or opportunities for the REIT or the real estate industry and may include statements regarding the use of
proceeds from the Offering and the repayment and re-borrowing of indebtedness by the REIT, the completion of future acquisitions
or investments by the REIT, as well as the financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures,

Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may be general or specific and
which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be
accurate, assumptions may not be correct and objectives, strategic goals and priorities may not be achieved. A variety of
factors, many of which are beyond the REIT's control, affect the operations, performance and results of the REIT and its
business, and could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of estimated or anticipated events or
results. These factors include, but are not limited to, risks related to the Units and risks related to the REIT's Annual
Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016 and annual MD&A at "Risks and
Uncertainties" and the risks discussed in the REIT's materials filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to
time on www.sedar.com. The reader is cautioned to consider these and other
factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements as there can be
no assurance actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements.
Information contained in forward-looking statements is based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a
conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and
expected future developments, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances, including
the following: the Canadian economy will remain stable over the next 12 months; inflation will remain relatively low; interest
rates will remain stable; conditions within the real estate market, including competition for acquisitions, will be consistent
with the current climate; the Canadian capital markets will continue to provide the REIT with access to equity and/or debt at
reasonable rates when required; Starlight Group Property Holdings Inc. will continue its involvement as asset manager of the REIT
in accordance with its current asset management agreement; and the risks identified or referenced above, collectively, will not
have a material impact on the REIT. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on currently available
information, they may prove to be incorrect.
The forward-looking statements made in the press release are dated and relate only to events or information as of the date of
this press release. Except as specifically required by applicable law, the REIT undertakes no obligation to update or revise
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on
which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
