NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Firm Capital Property Trust (the "Trust") (TSX VENTURE:FCD.UN) is pleased to announce today that it has commenced an overnight marketed public offering (the "Offering") of trust units of the Trust (the "Offered Units"). In connection with the Offering, the Trust intends to file a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Trust's short form base shelf prospectus dated December 15, 2017, with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. The Offered Units are being issued at a price of $6.25 per Offered Unit (the "Issue Price"). The total size of the Offering will be determined in the context of the market prior to the filing of the Prospectus Supplement.

The Offering is being conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by TD Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Trust has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase a number of additional Offered Units representing up to 15% of the size of the Offering, on the same terms and conditions, exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, up to 30 days after the closing of the Offering.

On December 22, 2017, the Trust announced its intent to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Private Placement") of up to 1,120,000 of its trust units (the "Trust Units") at a price of $6.25 per Trust Unit, for gross proceeds to the Trust of up to $7,000,000. On December 27, 2017, the Trust announced that, subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), the Trust has closed the first tranche of the Concurrent Private Placement, whereby 508,000 Trust Units were issued for gross proceeds to the Trust of $3,175,000. Concurrent with the Offering, certain investors will participate in an additional tranche (the "Second Tranche") of the Concurrent Private Placement, pursuant to which they will purchase Trust Units at the Issue Price. The closing of the Offering is conditional upon, among other things, the closing of the Second Tranche of the Concurrent Private Placement. The Trust expects the gross proceeds to the Trust under the Second Tranche of the Concurrent Private Placement to be approximately $1,000,000.

The Trust intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering: (i) to repay amounts drawn on the Trust's credit facility; (ii) to fund potential future property acquisitions by the Trust; and (iii) for working capital and general trust purposes.

The Offering and the Second Tranche of the Concurrent Private Placement are scheduled to close concurrently on or about February 1, 2018, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals.
