Exhibit 99.1

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common shares of beneficial interest involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information,
together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before buying our shares. If any of the risks discussed in this prospectus actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. If this were to occur, the value of our shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. In connection with the forward-looking statements that appear in this document, you should also carefully review the cautionary
statement referred to under Forward-Looking Statements.

Risks Related To Our Business

We and the Investment Advisor commenced operations in July 2004 and have a limited operating history and may not be able to implement our operating policies and
strategies successfully.

We began operations in July 2004 and, therefore, have a limited operating history and may not be able to
implement our operating policies and strategies successfully. The Investment Advisor also has a limited operating history. The results of our operations depend on many factors, including, without limitation, the availability of office, retail,
industrial and multi-family residential properties for acquisition, readily accessible short and long-term funding alternatives in the financial markets and economic conditions. Moreover, delays in investing the net proceeds of this offering may
reduce our income. Our shareholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which the net proceeds received by us from this offering are to be invested or the economic merits of particular assets to be acquired. We have not
established any lines of credit or other sources of financing and, if such financing is available, we cannot assure you that it will be available on favorable terms. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to operate our business
successfully or implement our operating policies and strategies described in this prospectus.

You must rely entirely upon the ability of the
Investment Advisor with respect to the investment in and management of unspecified assets, and you will not have an opportunity to evaluate for yourself the relevant economic, financial and other information regarding the assets in which the
proceeds of this offering will be invested.

As of the date of this prospectus, we own seven properties. Our ability to achieve our
investment objectives and to pay dividends is dependent upon the performance of the Investment Advisor, the real estate market and general economic conditions in the geographic regions where we invest. You must rely totally on the Investment Advisor
in the selection of assets. We cannot be sure that the Investment Advisor will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if investments are made, our objectives will be achieved. You should be aware
that any appraisals we obtain are merely estimates of value and should not be relied upon as accurate measures of true worth or realizable value.

If
the Investment Advisor loses or is unable to obtain key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel of our Investment Advisor, including Robert H. Zerbst, Jack A. Cuneo, Laurie Romanak, Scott Stuckman, Tracy
Harrison, Doug Herzbrun and Phil Kianka, each of whom would be difficult to replace. None of our key personnel are currently subject to employment agreements with us, nor do we maintain any key person life insurance on these key personnel. If any of
these personnel were to cease employment with the Investment Advisor, our operating results could suffer. We also believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon the Investment Advisors ability to hire and retain highly skilled
managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you the Investment Advisor will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel.

Conflict of Interest Risks

The Investment Advisor faces
conflicts of interest relating to time management.

Although the Investment Advisor does not currently advise any other real estate
investment programs, the Investment Advisors affiliates, including CBRE Investors, are sponsors of other real estate programs having investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours. In addition, certain employees of
the Investment Advisor may also work with or for other affiliates. As a result, they may have interests in other real estate programs and also engage in other business activities, and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between
our business and these other activities. During times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, they may devote less time and resources to our business than is necessary or appropriate. If the Investment Advisor, for any reason, is not
able to provide investment opportunities to us consistent with our investment objectives in a timely manner, we may have lower returns on our investments.





---

The Investment Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of assets.

We may be buying assets at the same time as other existing or future affiliates of the Investment Advisor are buying assets. There
is a risk that the Investment Advisor will choose an asset that provides lower returns to us than an asset purchased by another affiliate. We may acquire assets in geographic areas where other affiliates own assets. If another affiliate attracts a
tenant that we are competing for, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays in locating another suitable tenant.

The Investment Advisor and
its affiliates may face conflicts of interest if they sell or lease properties they acquire to us.

We may acquire or lease
properties from the Investment Advisor and its affiliates. We must follow certain procedures when purchasing or leasing assets from the Investment Advisor and its affiliates. The Investment Advisor may owe fiduciary and/or other duties to the
selling entity in these transactions and conflicts of interest between us and the selling entities could exist in such transactions. Because we are relying on the Investment Advisor, these conflicts could result in transactions where we do not have
the benefit of arms length negotiations of the type normally conducted with an unaffiliated third party.

We pay substantial fees and expenses
to the Investment Advisor, its affiliates and the Dealer Manager, which payments increase the risk that you will not earn a profit on your investment.

The Investment Advisor and its affiliates perform services for us in connection with the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management and leasing of our properties and the administration of our other
investments. We pay the Investment Advisor an acquisition fee based on the purchase price of our real estate assets and an investment management fee, a portion of which is based on the cost of our real estate assets, each of which is not tied to the
performance of our portfolio. The Investment Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with an affiliate of the Dealer Manager, or the Subadvisor, and the Investment Advisor will compensate the Subadvisor through certain fees and
reimbursable expenses the Investment Advisor receives from us. We pay fees and commissions to the Dealer Manager in connection with the offer and sale of the shares. We also have issued to CBRE REIT Holdings LLC, an affiliate of the Investment
Advisor, one Class B limited partnership interest (representing 100% of the Class B interest outstanding) in CBRE OP in exchange for the services provided to us relating to our formation and future services. Our sponsor (including certain of its
executive officers) and our executive officers own an aggregate 75.1% distribution interest and affiliates of the Dealer Manager own an aggregate 24.9% distribution interest (excluding distributions that CBRE Investors is entitled to with respect to
29,937 Class A units) in CBRE REIT Holdings LLC. The holder of the Class B limited partnership interest is entitled to receive distributions made by CBRE OP in an amount equal to 15% of all net proceeds of any disposition of properties to be
distributed to the partners after subtracting (i) the costs of such disposition, (ii) the amount of equity capital invested in such property which has not been reinvested or returned to the partners, and (iii) an amount equal to a 7%
annual, uncompounded return on such invested capital. These fees and partnership interest distributions reduce the amount of cash available for investment in properties or distribution to shareholders. These fees also increase the risk that the
amount available for distribution to common shareholders upon a liquidation of our portfolio would be less than the purchase price of the shares in this offering and that you may not earn a profit on your investment.

Termination of the Advisory Agreement could be costly.

If the advisory agreement is terminated without cause, CBRE OP will redeem the Class B limited partnership interest for a newly created class of partnership interest, which we refer to as the advisor redemption interest, which shall
initially have a capital account equal to the fair value of the Class B limited partnership interest as of such date, and if the advisory agreement is terminated for cause, CBRE OP will redeem the Class B limited partnership interest for $100. These
provisions may increase the effective cost to us of terminating the advisory agreement, thereby adversely affecting our ability to terminate the Investment Advisor without cause.

Certain of our officers and trustees face conflicts of interest.

Our chairman and our chief
financial officer each serve as managing directors of the Investment Advisor and also serve as president and executive managing director, respectively, of CBRE Investors, our sponsor. Our president and chief executive officer serves as the president
and chief executive officer of the Investment Advisor and also serves as a managing director of CBRE Investors. Our president and chief executive officer and our chief financial officer directly hold an aggregate 16.8% economic interest in the
Investment Advisor. These individuals owe fiduciary duties to these entities and their shareholders. Such fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the fiduciary duties owed to us and our shareholders. An affiliate of the Investment
Advisor owns one Class B limited partnership interest (representing 100% of the Class B interest outstanding) in CBRE OP. This interest entitles such affiliate to receive distributions in an amount equal to a percentage of the net proceeds we
receive from a sale of a property after certain amounts are paid or provided for. This



---

interest may incentivize the Investment Advisor to recommend the sale of a property or properties that may not be in our best interest at the time. In
addition, the premature sale of a property may add concentration risk to the portfolio or may be at a price lower than if we held on to the property and sold it at a later date.

We will be subject to additional risks as a result of any joint ventures.

We may in the
future enter into joint ventures for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties. We may also purchase and develop properties in joint ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with sellers of
properties, affiliates of sellers, developers or other persons. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with an investment in real estate, including, for example:



| |  |  | the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment might become bankrupt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actions by such a co-venturer, co-tenant or partner might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in
excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing your returns.

General Investment Risks

No market currently exists for our common shares. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount.

There is no current market for our shares and, therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly. We cannot
assure you that any trading market will develop or, if developed, that any such market will be sustained. Additionally, our declaration of trust contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our shares, and these restrictions may inhibit
your ability to sell your shares. You may not sell your shares unless the buyer meets applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. In addition, the price
received for any shares sold is likely to be less than the proportionate value of the real estate we own. Therefore, you should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment.

If you purchase our common shares in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution of up to approximately $(1.10), or (11.0)%, in the book value per share of our common shares from the price you pay in this
offering.

The initial offering price of our common shares is substantially higher than the book value per share of our outstanding
common shares will be after this offering. If you purchase our common shares in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution of up to approximately $(1.10), or (11.0)%, in the book value per share of our common shares from the price you pay in
this offering.

This is a best efforts offering and if we are unable to raise substantial funds, we may have substantial limitations on
our ability to achieve a diversified portfolio of assets.

The Dealer Manager is selling our shares on a best efforts
basis, whereby it and the other broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell our common shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of our common shares. As a result, the
amount of proceeds we raise in this offering may be substantially less than the amount we would need to achieve a broadly diversified portfolio. If we only sell a small number of shares offered hereby, we may purchase fewer properties resulting in
less diversification of the number of assets we own, the types of assets in which we invest, the geographic regions of our properties and the industry types of our tenants. The likelihood of our profitability being affected by any one of our
investments will also increase. Your investment in shares will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a diversified asset portfolio.

This is a blind pool offering and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate investments prior to purchasing our common shares.

Neither we nor the Investment Advisor has contracted to acquire any real property with the proceeds of this offering. As a result, you will not be able to evaluate the economic merits, transaction terms or other
financial information concerning our investments prior to purchasing our common shares. You must rely on the Investment Advisor and our board of trustees to implement our investment policies, to evaluate investment opportunities and to structure the
terms of our investments.





---

Restrictions on ownership of a controlling percentage of our shares may limit your opportunity to receive a premium
on your shares.

To assist us in complying with the share ownership requirements necessary for us to qualify as a REIT, our
declaration of trust prohibits, with certain exceptions, direct or constructive ownership by any person of more than 3.0% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common shares or more than 3.0% by number or value,
whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares. Our board of trustees, in its sole discretion, may exempt a person from the share ownership limit. Our board of trustees has waived this limitation for CBRE Investors and the Stein Trusts.
This waiver applies only to shares such persons already own, and not to further purchases unless approved by our board of trustees. Additionally, our declaration of trust prohibits direct or constructive ownership of our shares that would otherwise
result in our failure to qualify as a REIT. The constructive ownership rules in our declaration of trust are complex and may cause the outstanding shares owned by a group of related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by
one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than any ownership limit by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity to own constructively in excess of any ownership limit of our outstanding shares. Any attempt to
own or transfer our shares in excess of the ownership limit without the consent of our board of trustees shall be void, and will result in the shares being transferred to a charitable trust. These provisions may inhibit market activity and the
resulting opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares that might otherwise exist if any person were to attempt to assemble a block of our shares in excess of the number of shares permitted under our declaration of trust
and which may be in the best interests of our shareholders.

The concentration of our ownership may adversely affect the ability of new investors to
influence our policies. For example, the Stein Trusts own approximately 2.8 million common shares, representing a total of approximately 39.69% of our outstanding common shares. Consequently, these shareholders have significant influence over
us.

The Stein Trusts own approximately 2.8 million common shares, representing a total of approximately 39.69% of our
outstanding common shares prior to the sale of any shares in this offering. Consequently, these shareholders have significant influence over us. Such shareholders ownership level may discourage or prevent others from trying to acquire control
of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer, including potential acquisitions that might involve a premium price for our common shares or otherwise be in the best interest of all shareholders. This concentration of ownership may
result in decisions affecting us that may not serve the best interest of all shareholders.

We have implemented certain provisions that could make
any change in our board of trustees or in control of our company more difficult.

Maryland law, our declaration of trust and our
bylaws contain provisions, such as provisions prohibiting, without the consent of our board of trustees, any single shareholder or group of affiliated shareholders, from beneficially owning in excess of an ownership limit, which could make it
difficult or expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by our management and board of trustees. These and other anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of
shareholders to change our management and board of trustees.

You are limited in your ability to sell your shares pursuant to our share redemption
program.

Our share redemption program provides you with the opportunity, on a quarterly basis, to request us to redeem all or a
portion of your shares after you have held them for one year, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. In the event that an eligible shareholder presents fewer than all of his or her shares to us for redemption, such shareholder must present
at least 25% of his or her shares to us for redemption and must retain at least $5,000 of common shares if any shares are held after such redemption. Shares will be redeemed, at our discretion only to the extent of cash available after the payment
of dividends necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of any U.S. federal income tax or excise tax on our net taxable income. This will significantly limit our ability to redeem your shares. To the extent our
available cash flow is insufficient to fund all redemption requests, each shareholders request will be reduced on a pro rata basis, unless you withdraw your request for redemption or ask that we carry over your request to the next quarterly
period, if any, when sufficient funds become available. Our board of trustees reserves the right to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time. Our board of trustees has delegated to our officers the right to waive the one-year
holding period and pro rata redemption requirements in the event of the death, disability (as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code) or bankruptcy of a shareholder. You will have no right to request redemption of your shares should our
shares become listed on a national exchange or on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market. Therefore, in making a decision to purchase shares, you should not assume that you will be able to sell any of your shares back to us
pursuant to our share redemption program.



---

We established the offering price on an arbitrary basis.

Our board of trustees has arbitrarily determined the selling price of the shares. Our offering price may not be indicative of the price at which our
shares would trade if they were listed on an exchange or actively traded by brokers nor of the proceeds that a shareholder would receive if we were liquidated or dissolved.

Your interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional equity.

Existing shareholders and
potential investors in this offering do not have preemptive rights to any common shares issued by us in the future. Therefore, investors purchasing shares in this offering may experience dilution of their equity investment in the event that we sell
additional common shares in the future, if we sell securities that are convertible into common shares or if we issue shares upon the exercise of options.

The amount and timing of cash dividends is uncertain.

Subject to certain limitations, we bear all expenses incurred
in our operations, which will reduce cash generated by operations and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. In addition, our board of trustees, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such funds for working capital, subject to
the REIT distribution requirements. We have not set any future dividend payment amount and cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to pay dividends to you.

We are uncertain of our sources for funding of future capital needs.

Substantially all of the
net proceeds of the offering will be used for investment in assets and for payment of various fees and expenses. Accordingly, in the event that we develop a need for additional capital in the future for the improvement of our assets or for any other
reason, we will need to identify sources for such funding, other than reserves we may establish, and we cannot assure you that such sources of funding will be available to us for capital needs in the future.

General Real Estate Risks

Real estate investments are
long-term illiquid investments and may be difficult to sell in response to changing economic conditions.

Real estate investments
are subject to certain inherent risks. Real estate investments are generally long-term investments that cannot be quickly converted to cash. Real estate investments are also subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions or local
conditions that may reduce the demand for office, retail, industrial, multi-family residential or other types of properties. Other factors can also affect real estate values, including:



| |  |  | possible U.S. federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption and prices, water and environmental restrictions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing labor and material costs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | the attractiveness of the property to tenants;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rises in operating costs, taxes and insurance costs; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in interest rates.
| | - |  | --------------------------

Increases in interest rates could
increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

We expect that we
will incur indebtedness in the future. Interest we pay could reduce cash available for distributions. Additionally, if we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and
our ability to pay dividends to you. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of
the maximum return on such investments.

Adverse economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we purchase properties may negatively impact
your overall returns.

Adverse economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we buy our properties could affect real estate
values in these areas and, to the extent that any of our tenants in these areas rely upon the local economy for their revenues, our tenants businesses could also be affected by such conditions. Therefore, changes in local economic conditions
could reduce our ability to pay dividends and the amounts we could otherwise receive upon a sale of a property in a negatively affected region.





---

Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industries of our tenants may negatively impact your overall
returns.

Adverse economic conditions affecting a particular industry of one or more of our tenants could affect the financial
ability of one or more of our tenants to make payments under their leases, which could cause delays in our receipt of rental revenues or a vacancy in one or more of our properties for a period of time. Therefore, changes in economic conditions of
the particular industry of one or more of our tenants could reduce our ability to pay dividends and the value of one or more of our properties at the time of sale of such properties.

Because we will be dependent on our tenants for substantially all of our revenue, our success is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.

Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders. A default of a tenant on its lease payments would
cause us to lose the revenue from the property. In the event of such a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and leasing our property. If a lease is
terminated, we cannot assure you that we will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss.

If one or more of our tenants file for bankruptcy protection, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due.

If
one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenants lease, commences, or has commenced against it, any proceeding under any provision of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code, as amended, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership or debtors relief statute or law (bankruptcy proceeding), we may be unable to collect sums due under relevant leases. Any or all of the tenants, or a guarantor of a tenants lease
obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding. Such a bankruptcy proceeding may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy
court. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. A tenants or lease guarantors bankruptcy
proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past due balances under relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would mean a reduction in
our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to our shareholders. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, we cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not
assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available for distribution to our shareholders may be adversely affected.

We may not have funding for future
tenant improvements, which may reduce your returns and make it difficult to attract one or more new tenants.

When a tenant at one
of our properties does not renew its lease or otherwise vacates its space in one of our buildings, it is likely that, in order to attract one or more new tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant
refurbishments to the vacated space and other lease-up costs. Substantially all of our net offering proceeds available for investment may be used for investment in real estate properties. We may maintain working capital reserves but cannot guarantee
they will be adequate. We also have no identified funding source to provide funds that may be required in the future for tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments and other lease-up costs in order to attract new tenants. We cannot assure you that
any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future and, to the extent we are required to use net cash from operations to fund such tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments and other lease-up costs, cash
distributions to our shareholders will be reduced.

A property that incurs a significant vacancy could be difficult to sell or lease.

A property may incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases.
Some of our properties may be specifically suited to the particular needs of the tenant based on the type of business the tenant operates. We may have difficulty obtaining a new tenant for any vacant space in our properties, particularly if the
space limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. If a vacancy on any of our properties continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to shareholders.
In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property may depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely affect your returns.

In the event
that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, we may have limited funding to repair or reconstruct the damaged property, and
we cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the



---

future. Furthermore, insurance may be unavailable or uneconomical. In particular, insurance coverage relating to flood or earthquake damage or terrorist acts
may not be available or affordable.

Development and construction of our properties may result in delays and increased costs and risks.

We may invest some or all of the net proceeds available for investment in the acquisition and development of properties upon which
we will develop and construct improvements. We will be subject to risks relating to the builders ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. The builders failure to perform
may necessitate legal action by us to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. Performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builders control. Delays in completion of construction could
also give tenants the right to terminate pre-construction leases for space at a newly developed project. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to such builders prior to completion of construction.
Factors such as those discussed above can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment, which could adversely impact our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In addition, we may not be able to find suitable tenants
to lease our newly constructed projects. Furthermore, we must rely upon projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of the fair market value of a property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price to be paid for the
property at the time of acquisition of the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property.

Competition for
investments may increase costs and reduce returns.

We will experience competition for real property investments from corporations,
other real estate investment trusts, pension plans and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities. There has been increasing competition for the types of properties in which we invest. Accordingly, competition for investments may
have the effect of increasing costs and reducing your returns.

Delays in acquisitions of properties may adversely affect your investment and reduce
returns.

Delays we encounter in the selection, acquisition and development of properties could adversely affect your returns. When
we acquire properties prior to the start of construction or during the early stages of construction, it will typically take several months to complete construction and rent available space. Therefore, you could suffer delays in the distribution of
cash dividends attributable to any such properties.

Uncertain market conditions and the broad discretion of the Investment Advisor relating to the
future disposition of properties could adversely affect the return on your investment.

We intend to hold the various real
properties in which we will invest until such time as the Investment Advisor determines that the sale or other disposition thereof appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be
met. The Investment Advisor, subject to the approval in certain cases of our board of trustees, may exercise its discretion as to whether and when to sell a property. We will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time, except that
if our shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market on or before December 31, 2011, our declaration of trust requires our board of trustees to consider commencing an
orderly liquidation of our assets, which liquidation would require the approval of our shareholders and could last several years. We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at
any particular time in the future. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future. Accordingly, the
extent to which you will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our real estate investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions.

General economic conditions may affect the timing of the sale of our properties and the purchase price we receive.

We may be unable to sell a property if or when we decide to do so. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other
factors, including supply and demand for real estate investments, all of which are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on terms which are acceptable to us. Further, we cannot predict
the length of time that will be needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property.

If we purchase environmentally hazardous
property, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Under various U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws,
ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not
the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible



---

for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or
businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. In
connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties, we may be potentially liable for such costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability, complying with environmental regulatory requirements or remediating any contaminated
property could have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to you. Any costs or expenses relating to environmental matters may not be covered by insurance.

Costs associated with complying with regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may result in unanticipated expenses.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S.
federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. A number of additional U.S. federal, state and local laws may also require modifications to our properties, or restrict further
renovations of the properties, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. For example, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the
handicapped. Noncompliance with the ADA or the FHAA could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. We will not conduct audit or investigation of all of these properties to
determine their compliance and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA, the FHAA or other legislation. If one or more of our communities in which we invest is not in compliance with the ADA, the FHAA or other legislation, then
we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the community into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and the FHAA or other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, price per share
of our common shares and our ability to satisfy debt service obligations and to pay distributions could be adversely affected.

Your investment may
be subject to additional risks if we make international investments.

We may purchase properties located outside the United States.
These investments may be affected by factors peculiar to the laws and business practices of the jurisdictions in which the properties are located. These laws may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in
the United States. Foreign investments could be subject to the following risks:



| |  |  | changing governmental rules and policies, including changes in land use and zoning laws;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enactment of laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property and laws restricting the ability of foreign persons or companies to remove profits earned from activities within
the country to the persons or companys country of origin;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we make or invest
in mortgage loans, our mortgage loans may be impacted by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of our mortgage investments.

If we make or invest in mortgage loans, we will be at risk of defaults by the borrowers on those mortgage loans. These defaults may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including interest rate levels and
local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values. We will not know whether the values of the properties securing the mortgage loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of the mortgage loans. If the values
of the underlying properties drop, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans.





---

If we make or invest in mortgage loans, our mortgage loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations which
could reduce our returns as compared to market interest rates as well as the value of the mortgage loans in the event we sell the mortgage loans.

If we invest in fixed-rate, long-term mortgage loans and interest rates rise, the mortgage loans could yield a return that is lower than then-current market rates. If interest rates decrease, we will be adversely
affected to the extent that mortgage loans are prepaid, because we may not be able to make new loans at the previously higher interest rate. If we invest in variable interest rate loans, if interest rates decrease, our revenues will likewise
decrease. Finally, if interest rates increase, the value of loans we own at such time would decrease which would lower the proceeds we would receive in the event we sell such loans.

Delays in liquidating defaulted mortgage loans could reduce our investment returns.

If there
are defaults under our mortgage loans, we may not be able to repossess and sell the underlying properties quickly. The resulting time delay could reduce the value of our investment in the defaulted mortgage loans. An action to foreclose on a
property securing a mortgage loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of default by a mortgagor, these
restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the mortgage loan.

Financing Risks

Rising interest rates will increase our
borrowing costs and reduce cash available for distributions and could also adversely affect the values of the properties we own.

We
have borrowed and in the future may borrow money to purchase assets. An increase in interest rates could increase our interest expense and adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service indebtedness and to make distributions to our
shareholders. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate charges may adversely affect our financial condition.

We could become more highly
leveraged and an increase in debt service could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.

We had
approximately $34.975 million of outstanding indebtedness, representing approximately 73% of our net assets (or approximately 40% of the cost of our assets), on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 2006. Although we have adopted a policy to limit
our aggregate borrowing to no more than 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation, this policy may be altered at any time or suspended if necessary to pursue attractive investment opportunities. Our
organizational documents contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, so that until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our aggregate borrowing may not exceed 300% of our net assets unless any excess
borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly report. If we become more highly leveraged, then the resulting increase in debt service could adversely affect our ability to make
payments on outstanding indebtedness and to pay our anticipated distributions and/or the distributions required to qualify as a REIT, and could harm our financial condition.

If we fail to make our debt payments, we could lose our investment in a property.

We intend
to secure the loans we obtain to fund property acquisitions with mortgages on some of our properties. If we are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. This could cause
us to lose part or all of our investment which in turn could cause a reduction in the value of the shares and the dividends payable to our shareholders.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations.

In connection with obtaining
certain financing, a lender could impose restrictions on us that would affect our ability to incur additional debt and our distribution and operating policies. Loan documents we enter into may contain customary negative covenants that may limit our
ability to further mortgage the property, to discontinue insurance coverage, replace the Investment Advisor as our investment advisor or impose other limitations.

If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.

Some of our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or balloon payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain
additional financing or



---

our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as
the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. A refinancing or sale under these circumstances could affect the rate of return to shareholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In
addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to qualify as a REIT. In such case, we may be forced to borrow funds to make the
distributions required to qualify as a REIT.

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect results of operations.

Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using
interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:



| |  |  | interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than through taxable REIT subsidiaries) to offset interest rate losses is limited by federal tax
provisions governing REITs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally enforceable.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

We have adopted a policy relating to the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks related to our borrowings. This policy governs our use of derivative financial instruments to manage the
interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Our policy states that we will not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes and intend only to enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other
factors, but we may choose to change these policies in the future. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our shareholders. Failure to hedge effectively against interest
rate changes may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our operations and ability to make distributions will be adversely affected because we will be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deductions for distributions made to shareholders.

We
believe that we are organized and operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, and that our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income we distribute currently to our shareholders. In order for us
to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy certain requirements established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations,
and which involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. If we invest in foreign real property, we will be subject to foreign currency gains and losses. Foreign currency gains are not
qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income test requirements. To reduce the risk of foreign currency gains adversely affecting our REIT qualification, we may be required to defer the repatriation of cash from foreign jurisdictions or
employ other structures that affect the timing, character and amount of income we receive from our foreign investments. In addition, income we derive from foreign real property held through a foreign corporation may not be treated as qualifying
income for purposes of the REIT 95% gross income test (and will not be treated as qualifying income for purposes of the REIT 75% gross income test). No assurance can be given that we will be able to manage our foreign currency gains or real property
investments held through foreign corporations in a manner that enables us to qualify a REIT or avoid U.S. federal and other taxes on our income. In March 2005, we mortgaged one of our real estate properties and



---

invested the proceeds in a money market mutual fund until June 2005 when the proceeds were used to purchase another real estate property. During the time the
proceeds were invested in the fund, we treated the investment as a qualified temporary investment for purposes of the REIT asset test requirements. If our investment in the fund was not eligible for treatment as a qualified temporary
investment, we may not have satisfied the REIT 5% gross asset test for the first quarter of 2005. If our investment in the fund resulted in our noncompliance with the REIT 5% gross asset test, however, we would retain our qualification as a REIT
pursuant to certain mitigation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code provided our noncompliance was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect, and certain other requirements are met including the payment of a $50,000 penalty tax. Any
potential noncompliance with the 5% gross asset test would be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect so long as we are considered to have exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to satisfy such test. We believe that we
have exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to satisfy the REIT income and asset tests, including the 5% gross asset test, and, accordingly, we believe that any noncompliance with the REIT 5% gross asset test resulting from our
investment in the fund should be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. We have complied with the other requirements of the mitigation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to such potential noncompliance with the 5% gross
asset test, including paying the $50,000 penalty tax, and, therefore, our qualification as a REIT should not be affected. The IRS is not bound by our determination, however, and no assurance can be provided that the IRS will not assert that
we failed to comply with the REIT 5% gross asset test as a result of our investment in the fund and that such failure was not due to reasonable cause.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, including if we were found to have violated the 5% gross asset test and our failure was not due to reasonable cause, we will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deductions for distributions made to shareholders. Further, in such event, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year
in which we lose our REIT qualification. Accordingly, the loss of our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to shareholders because of the substantial tax liabilities that would be imposed on us.
We might also be required to borrow funds or sell investments to pay the applicable tax.

The Investment Advisor has not previously managed a REIT,
and we cannot assure you that the past experience of its management will be sufficient to successfully manage our business as a REIT.

The Investment Advisor has not previously managed a REIT, and the Investment Advisor does not have direct experience in complying with the income, asset and other limitations imposed by the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Those provisions are complex and the failure to comply with those provisions in a timely manner could cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT or could force us to pay unexpected taxes and penalties. In such event, our net income would be reduced and
we could incur a loss.

We may be subject to tax on our undistributed net taxable income or be forced to borrow funds to make distributions required
to qualify as a REIT.

As a REIT, we must distribute 90% of our annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our
shareholders and we will be subject to regular corporate income tax to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our annual net taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which
distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. In order to make distributions necessary to qualify as a
REIT and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis or sell properties, even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for borrowings or sales. In
addition, we may utilize these funding sources to make distributions that exceed the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT; however, we will not use offering proceeds for this purpose. Our need for cash to make distributions
could result from, among other things, a difference in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves and the
repayment of indebtedness.

Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends payable by domestic corporations to individual U.S. shareholders (as such term is defined under
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences below) is 15% (through 2010). Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could
cause investors who are individuals to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs,
including our shares.





---

We will pay some taxes.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay some U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property, including a 100% penalty tax if we receive
payments for property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. To the extent that we are required to pay U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes, we will have less cash available for distribution to our
shareholders.

The ability of our board of trustees to revoke our REIT election without shareholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our
shareholders.

Our charter provides that our board of trustees may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the
approval of our shareholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and we would no longer be
required to distribute most of our taxable income to our shareholders, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our shareholders and the value of our shares.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

In recent years, numerous
legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our shares. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and
we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of us or our shareholders. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our
properties.
