NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:IIP.UN) ("InterRent") announced today that it has entered into an unconditional agreement to acquire a property in Mississauga consisting of 1 high-rise and 13 low-rise apartment buildings. In total, the acquisition will add 232 suites to the InterRent portfolio.

The property is located at 6599 Glen Erin Drive, directly adjacent to InterRent's 2757 Battleford Road property, and across the street from the Meadowvale Town Centre. The site borders the walking trails around Lake Aquitaine Park and has easy access to the area from Erin Mills Parkway and Highways 401 and 407.

The high-rise contains 74 suites and the low-rises total 158 suites, for a total addition of 86 1-bedroom and 146 2-bedroom suites to InterRent's portfolio. The Battleford Road and Glenn Erin Drive properties form one complex of 416 suites and share resident amenities including a fitness center and outdoor pool.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in early December at a purchase price of $39,500,000 or $170,259 per suite. The property is being purchased with a going in capitalization rate of 5.3% which is immediately accretive to the REIT, and will be financed through a new conventional first mortgage.

"We are very pleased to announce the acquisition of this well maintained property to the InterRent portfolio. This is a strong market within the GTA and our neighboring Battleford property has performed very well since our acquisition in June of 2012. Having both properties under InterRent's ownership will create operational efficiencies for both properties as well as new opportunities to increase their marketability," said Mike McGahan, CEO.
