GO RESIDENTIAL REIT COMPLETES STRATEGIC TRANSACTIONS TO INCREASE SCALE, PROVIDE IMMEDIATE ACCRETION, AND GROW ITS UNENCUMBERED POOL OF ASSETS AND ANNOUNCES JUNE 2026 CASH DISTRIBUTION

GO Residential Real Estate Investment Trust has closed two previously announced acquisitions, further strengthening the record of acquiring market-leading, luxury high-rise multifamily properties in New York. Each of the previously announced acquisitions is expected to enhance the REIT's scale, portfolio quality and long-term growth profile.

Acquisition activity

On May 28, 2026, and June 5, 2026, GO Residential completed the indirect acquisitions of 7 Dey Street, located at 7 Dey St., New York, N.Y., 10007, and Ivy Tower, located at 345 W 42nd St. and 350 W 43rd St., New York, N.Y., 10036, respectively.

The acquisitions continue to accelerate the REIT's scale in New York markets, enhance the quality of its portfolio and mark a pivotal step forward in the REIT's strategy to become a premier owner and operator of luxury high-rise multifamily assets. The acquisitions are expected to contribute to the REIT's sustainable cash flow and long-term value creation through pro-active asset management and operational excellence. In addition, the acquisitions are expected to be immediately accretive to annualized AFFO (adjusted funds from operations) per unit.

The acquisitions were financed by a disciplined and diversified capital stack consisting of available cash and the arrangement of approximately $146.3-million of new fixed-rate mortgage debt on 7 Dey Street. The new fixed-rate mortgage debt bears an interest rate of 4.50 per cent (which was reduced from 4.96 per cent pursuant to an interest rate escrow) and matures in 2031. The composition of the consideration for the acquisitions allows GO Residential REIT to maintain its strong capital structure and financial leverage metrics within the REIT's previously disclosed target range.

The acquisition of Ivy Tower represents the REIT's first addition to its unencumbered asset pool. Building an unencumbered asset pool is a key strategic priority of the REIT as it enhances the REIT's financial flexibility and is expected to further improve access to future unsecured financing.

Pro forma the acquisitions, the REIT will have 2,545 residential suites in its portfolio, which is a 26-per-cent increase from its reported suite count of 2,015 as of March 31, 2026.

"These transactions are poised to strengthen our platform by improving portfolio quality, expanding our footprint and supporting sustainable long-term growth. Equally important, they have been executed in a way that underscores our continued focus on maintaining a conservative balance sheet," said Joshua Gotlib, chief executive officer of GO Residential REIT.

Meyer Orbach, chairman of GO Residential REIT, added: "These acquisitions send a clear and compelling signal to the market that GO Residential REIT is well positioned to identify and execute on accretive growth opportunities. These transactions not only reinforce the strength of our platform but also demonstrate the depth of our sourcing capabilities and our ability to translate strategy into meaningful value creation for our unitholders."
