Funds from operations ("FFO") for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $79.5 million or $1.39 per unit ($1.35 per unit fully diluted), compared to $71.8 million or $1.26 per unit ($1.22 per unit fully diluted) in 2010.  FFO for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $21.4 million or $0.36 per unit ($0.36 per unit fully diluted) compared to $20.5 million or $0.36 per unit ($0.35 per unit fully diluted) for the same period in 2010.

Net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $133.8 million, compared to $123.6 million in 2010.  Net operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $35.0 million, compared with $34.4 million during the same period in 2010.

DISTRIBUTION INCREASE
The board of Trustees of Morguard REIT announced an increase in the distribution paid to unitholders.  The increase to $0.96 per unit per annum (from $0.90 currently) will be effective for unitholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2012.

NET OPERATING INCOME, FFO
This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income and funds from operations ("FFO") on a total and per unit basis.  Net operating income is defined as income from property operations after operating expenses have been deducted, but prior to deducting interest expense, general and administrative expenses and fair value gains (losses).  FFO is defined as net income prior to extraordinary items, valuation adjustments, and certain other non-cash items, if any.

Readers are cautioned that although the terms "Net Operating Income" and "Funds from Operations" are commonly used to measure, compare and explain the operating and financial performance of Canadian real estate investment trusts and such terms are defined in the Management's discussion and Analysis, such terms are not recognized terms under IFRS.  Such terms do not necessarily have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by the other publicly traded entities.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MORGUARD'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Morguard REIT's 2011 Consolidated Financial Statement and Management's Discussion and Analysis along with its 2010 Annual Report are available on Morguard REIT's website at www.morguardreit.com and have been filed with SEDAR at www.sedar.com
