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

VANCOUVER, May 27, 2014 /CNW/ - Pure Multi-Family REIT LP ("Pure Multi") (TSXV: RUF.U, RUF.DB.U; OTCQX: PMULF) announced today that it has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a multi-family apartment community located in Houston, Texas (the "Property"), for a purchase price of US$43,800,000.

The Property, known as Walker Commons ("Walker Commons"), was constructed in 2008 and consists of 352 residential units located in 12 two and three-storey buildings with units averaging over 927 square feet. The 18.69 acre property is located in League City, a southeastern suburb of Houston, and includes a clubhouse, athletic center, resort-style swimming pool, outdoor living room with a fireplace, and a poolside cabana with grills for outdoor entertaining.

The purchase price of US$43,800,000 represents an appraised capitalization rate of 6.00%.  The acquisition of the Property is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent and is expected to close in late June, 2014, subject to Board approvals.

Pure Multi intends to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Property with cash from Pure Multi's private placement financing which closed on May 21, 2014, and a new first mortgage financing.

Steve Evans, CEO, said "We are pleased to be adding Walker Commons to the Pure Multi Houston portfolio as we continue to expand our presence in the Houston market. Walker Commons renews the weighted average age of our portfolio by nearly two years (from 1993 to 1995). Walker Commons is situated in the dynamic suburban Houston submarket of League City that continues to benefit from very robust job and population growth along the main transportation corridor between Galveston and the Port of Houston."

The property will be acquired indirectly by Pure Multi from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunstone U.S. No. 2 Opportunity Realty Trust ("Sunstone").  Pure Multi and Sunstone are non-arm's length parties in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") by virtue of having certain directors and officers in common. The closing of the proposed acquisition is subject to the approval of the TSXV.
