"Our first quarter results highlight the soundness of our business. The quality of our portfolio is evidenced by our strong occupancy and rising rental rates, and the continued growth in our net operating income. We are also extremely pleased about the continued momentum of our acquisition program," said Michael Cooper, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

- Rental properties NOI up 48% to $50.0 million - rental properties NOI increased by 48% over the prior year first quarter. Acquisitions were the primary driver behind this growth, contributing $13.4 million to the NOI for the three-month period.

- Comparative properties NOI up 4% to $33.6 million - 4% growth in comparative properties NOI was driven by the strong performance of the Trust's office portfolio, reflecting both rising occupancy and rental rate growth. While results were strong across the whole portfolio, the Trust's assets in Alberta produced the greatest growth.

- Funds from operations grew by 65% to $31.8 million - funds from operations grew by 65% to $31.8 million, largely due to additional revenue generated mainly by acquisitions as well as rising occupancy and rental rates. A reduction in the Trust's weighted average interest rate had a positive impact as well. On a per unit basis, FFO increased to $0.71 from $0.67.

- Adjusted Funds from Operations increased by 69% to $25.2 million - improvements in AFFO reflect the impact of acquisitions and the benefits of effectively managing leasing and capital costs.

- Participation in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") remains high - at March 31, 2007, approximately 28% of the total units outstanding were enrolled in the DRIP, including 14% of REIT Units, Series A and 100% of LP Class B Units, Series 1. During the first quarter, the Trust's cash distribution payout ratio was 73%.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

- Portfolio occupancy reaches all-time high at 97.0% - the overall percentage of occupied and committed space was 97.0% and the average in-place net rent increased to $10.16 per square foot.
