Approximately 79,000 square feet of the 83,000 square feet renewed this quarter
was in Griffin's New England Tradeport industrial park in Windsor and East
Granby, Connecticut. One of these leases was an early 10-year, 5-month extension
of 40,000 square feet leased as production and distribution space to a large
quick service restaurant chain and the other was an early 2-year extension of
39,000 square feet of distribution space leased to one of the largest e-commerce
providers of home furnishings. The third

1 Weighted average lease costs per square foot per year reflects total lease
costs (tenant improvements and leasing commissions) per square foot per year of
the lease term.

2 Weighted average rent growth reflects the percentage change of annualized
rental rates between the previous leases and the current leases. The rental rate
change on a straight-line basis represents average annual base rental payments
on a straight-line basis for the term of each lease including free rent periods.
Cash basis rent growth represents the change in starting rental rates per the
lease agreement on new and renewed leases signed during the period, as compared
to the previous ending rental rates for that same space. The cash rent growth
calculation excludes free rent periods. The change in rental rate calculations
excludes leases for first generation space on properties acquired or developed
by Griffin.

3 Stabilized properties reflect buildings that have reached 90% leased or have
been in-service for at least one year since development completion or
acquisition date, whichever is earlier. Stabilized properties exclude 160 and
180 International Drive in the Charlotte, North Carolina area that were
completed in the 2019 fourth quarter and were 37.1% leased as of August 31, 2020
and 170 Sunport Lane, which was acquired in the 2020 second quarter and was
25.9% leased as of August 31, 2020.

Rent Collections/COVID-19 Impact





COVID-19 has not had a material impact on Griffin's rent collection during the
2020 third quarter and as of the date of this filing. Griffin collected 99.9% of
rent in each of June, July and August, inclusive of rent relief. Griffin entered
into agreements with two tenants that granted rent relief aggregating
approximately 0.5% of Griffin's anticipated total annual rent for fiscal year
2020. The much larger of these two tenants is a subsidiary of a Fortune 500
company and the rent relief was granted as part of an early 5-year renewal of
that tenant's lease that was executed subsequent to August 31, 2020. Griffin has
not received any new requests for rent relief subsequent to April 30, 2020 and
no previous requests remain outstanding.
