PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
 
5508 Highway 290—Austin, Texas
 
On September 13, 2002, through our wholly owned subsidiary, GREIT—5508 Highway 290 West, LP, a Texas limited partnership, we acquired the 5508 Highway 290 West Building. The seller was not an affiliate of our Company or our Advisor. The total purchase price of the property was $10,300,000. The purchase was financed by Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. which provided a $6,700,000 first mortgage loan with an interest rate at 400 basis points over LIBOR. We are required to make interest-only payments until the due date of September 1, 2003, at which time the loan will have to be paid in full or refinanced.
 
The property is located in southwest Austin, Texas on U.S. Highway 290 west of the intersection of Loop 1. There is new development activity in the immediate neighborhood, including hotel, office and retail centers on the nearby Southwest Parkway. Prestigious residential areas, including Barton Hills, Westlake Hills,


Lost Creek and Barton Creek are within three miles of the property. Austin’s Bergstrom International Airport is accessible via Highway 290.
 
Built in 2001, the property consists of two three-story office buildings—a main building and a back building of approximately 61,800 and 13,000 square feet, respectively, for a total of approximately 74,800 square feet on 6.5 acres. The property has approximately 332 parking spaces and is approximately 99% leased to primarily national, regional and local credit tenants, including the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Texas, SAM, Inc. (formerly Survey and Mapping, Inc.), Brooks Automation, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and SunGard Energy System. No leases expire during the next twelve-months. Government entities and contractors doing business with Federal, state and local government agencies occupy approximately 23% of the property. With the exception of one lease, all of the leases are on a net basis, with the tenants paying a full pro-rata share of all reimbursable expenses. The remaining tenant has a full service lease. Leases representing approximately 68% of the rentable area will expire in 2006. As of August 30, 2002, a total of 74,089 square feet or 99% of the total rentable area was leased to 11 tenants.

These amounts are based on the respective property’s current base annual rent, which may increase under the terms of the lease applicable to the respective property.
 
We do not anticipate making any significant repairs or improvements to this property over the next few years. However, if we were to make any repairs, the majority of the tenants would be obligated to pay for such improvements under the provisions of their respective leases. At this time, we do not know of any specific environmental hazards or risks associated with the building. A Phase I Environmental Review was completed by a third party and no hazardous conditions or substances were present on the property. When we calculate depreciation expense for tax purpose, we use the straight-line method and depreciate buildings and improvement over estimated useful lives of 39 and 15 years, respectively. For federal income tax purposes, our depreciable basis in the property is approximately $7,700,000. The real estate tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately 2.5% and real estate taxes on the property were approximately $95,163.
 
We retained Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., an affiliate of our advisor, to manage the property for a property management fee equal to 5% of the gross income of the property in addition to compensation for property-level services, including leasing fees, loan origination and servicing fees and property tax reduction fees.
 
Austin, Texas
 
Office Market
 
The first six months of 2002 were not very encouraging for office space as rental rates declined by an average of 11.6% and average occupancy dropped to 77%. The collapse of the “dot.com industry” in 2001 continues to have a significant impact on the Austin office market. During the first six months of 2002, there was a substantial amount of direct space absorption citywide, approximately 560,000 square feet, with the largest increases in the Far Northwest, Central Business District and the Southwest areas of Austin. However, the Southwest market is the strongest Austin market, with direct vacancy at approximately 6%. However, as Austin’s economy remains strong despite the national recession, Austin remains attractive to corporate relocations.
 
Economy
 
In 1963, IBM opened a manufacturing facility in Austin. Texas Instruments followed soon after by locating a plant there in 1966. In 1974 Motorola relocated to Austin. Then in 1983, Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation, the country’s first private-sector high technology consortium, chose to locate in Austin after considering 57 cities in 27 states. In 1984 3M decided to relocate five of its divisions from Minnesota to Austin, including their research and development and administrative divisions. In addition, Austin has a

4


reputation for entrepreneurial successes. In 1988 INC. magazine named Austin the Number One entrepreneurial city in the U.S. based on the number of new enterprises being created. As an example, Michael Dell began Dell Computer Corporation in 1982 while he was a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin. Dell is now a Fortune 500 company with 16,000 employees. Today, firms in the Austin region are producing new products, processes and services that have the potential to drive the next generation of information-intensive industries and to grow vast new markets
 
In November 1998, FORTUNE named Austin as the “Number 1 Best City for Business in North America.” In 1999, FORTUNE again included Austin on its list of Best Cities for Business in North America; ranking Austin No. 3. More recently, in 2001, FORBES ranked Austin No. 2 in its “Best Places to Do Business and Advance Your Career”. Austin in the 21st century is one of the leading centers of the high technology industry. High tech employment in the region almost doubled from 1990 through 2000, adding close to 50,000 high tech jobs. Today, Austin ranks as the third most wired city in the nation, behind San Francisco and San Jose.
 
Austin has a strong, diversified economy. The technology sector is powerful, firmly rooted in electronics and semiconductors, computers and peripherals and software. Call centers and logistics have grown rapidly in recent years and film and music make Austin buzz with creativity. Other industries, such as biosciences and multimedia are also on the rise.
 
Housing
 
Austin is seeing a revitalization in its housing market, with several loft renovations and the introduction of new housing to historical structures. Apartment and condominium developments are located near the Central Business District, the Capitol Complex and the Entertainment District. Southwest Austin offers the extraordinary natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. As home to seven area universities and colleges, including the University of Texas, there is an educated workforce.
