WHITESTONE REIT ANNOUNCES 13% INCREASE IN FFO CORE PER SHARE FOR THE 2015 THIRD QUARTER; RAISES FULL YEAR GUIDANCE

Houston, Texas, November 4, 2015 - Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR) (“Whitestone” or the “Company”), today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Highlights for Third Quarter 2015 Compared to Third Quarter 2014

• 20^th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue and net operating income (“NOI”) growth with increases of 32.7% and 36.4%, respectively.

• 21^st consecutive quarter of year-over-year funds from operations (“FFO”) Core growth with a 36.1% increase.

• 10^th consecutive quarter of year-over-year FFO Core per diluted common share and operating partnership (“OP”) unit growth with a 13.3% increase to $0.34.

• 3.1% increase in same store NOI.

• Net income attributable to Whitestone REIT was $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year third quarter.

• 8.0% increase in rental rates on new and renewal leases on a GAAP basis.

• Dividend to FFO Core ratio of 82.4%.

• FFO Core guidance range for 2015 increased to $1.30 to $1.32 per diluted share and OP unit.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company received approval of added value entitlements at its Village Square at Dana Park property. The Company plans a vibrant mix of retail, restaurant and executive office space, as well as multifamily housing and a hotel, which will increase the value of the property while generating additional NOI and cash flow. The Company also amended its $500 million credit facility, which extended and laddered the facility’s maturity dates on the revolving credit loan and two existing $50 million term loans and provided for a third $100 million seven-year term loan.

Jim Mastandrea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to announce another strong operating quarter, as well as to report on our significant progress. Our well positioned portfolio of Community Centered Properties™, located within the biggest and fastest growing markets in the business-friendly states of Texas and Arizona, continues to drive meaningful increases in our key financial metrics and provides us with substantial value-add opportunities. On top of our solid performance, we closed on additional accretive acquisitions that further enhance the value of our enterprise.

“Our disciplined approach to acquisitions and our concentrated work to create community centered properties that serve the needs of the communities where our properties are located is substantiated by the progress that we have made since Whitestone’s IPO five years ago. Our approach reflects the evolving consumer landscape and shifts in the manner that people shop which is impacting the retail property segment of the industry. Our actions have resulted in higher overall occupancy and rental rates, while diversifying the tenant mix to minimize the downside risk. We will also continue shedding our remaining non-core properties, which only represent approximately 10% of the carrying value of our portfolio, to become a pure play retail REIT, and we plan to use the process to recycle the capital and pay down debt.”

Mr. Mastandrea concluded, “We are once again increasing our annual guidance for the year to reflect our confidence in our ability to drive further top-line and bottom-line growth. We are pleased that Whitestone continues to deliver meaningful financial results and we expect to continue our profitable growth while remaining steadfastly focused on enhancing shareholder value.”

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the Company's use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "plan," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters.

The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company's forward-looking statements: the Company's ability to meet its assumptions regarding its earnings guidance, including its ability to execute effectively its acquisition and disposition strategy, to continue to execute its development pipeline on schedule and at the expected costs, and its ability to grow its NOI as expected, which could be impacted by a number of factors, including, among other things, its ability to continue to renew leases or re-let space on attractive terms and to otherwise address its leasing rollover; the Company's ability to successfully identify and consummate suitable acquisitions; current adverse market and economic conditions; lease terminations or lease defaults; the impact of competition on the Company's efforts to renew existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions of the specific markets in which the Company operates; economic and regulatory changes; the success of the Company's real estate strategies and investment objectives; the Company's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this press release, and the Company does not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including FFO, FFO Core, and NOI. Following are explanations and reconciliations of these metrics to their most comparable GAAP metric.

FFO: Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company computes FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, ("NAREIT"), which states that FFO should represent net income available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of operating assets, impairment charges and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, including the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions and service debt.

Management considers FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that FFO provides a more meaningful and accurate indication of the Company's performance and useful information for the investment community to compare Whitestone to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO, and accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding OP units for the periods presented.

FFO Core: Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition includes certain non-cash and non-comparable items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash share-based compensation expense, rent support agreement payments received from sellers on acquired assets and acquisition costs. In addition, the Company believes that FFO Core is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, other REITs may use different adjustments, and the Company's FFO Core may not be comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

5

NOI: Management believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. In addition, management believes that NOI provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's property and operating performance when compared to other REITs since NOI is generally recognized as a standard measure of property performance in the real estate industry. However, NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

⁽²⁾  Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”): Management believes that EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to the Company. The Company defines EBITDA as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes) and general and administrative expenses. Management believes that EBITDA provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's operating performance when compared to other REITs since EBITDA is generally recognized as a standard measure. However, EBITDA should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating EBITDA and, accordingly, the Company's EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs.

⁽¹⁾ Promissory note includes an interest rate swap that fixed the interest rate at 3.55% for the duration of the term.

⁽²⁾ Promissory note includes an interest rate swap that fixed the LIBOR portion of our $50 million term loan under our previous unsecured revolving credit facility at 0.84%. On October 30, 2015, the maturity date of promissory note was extended to October 30, 2020.

⁽³⁾  Promissory note includes an interest rate swap that fixed the interest rate at 5.72% for the duration of the term. As part of our acquisition of Paradise Plaza in August 2012, we recorded a discount on the note of $1.3 million, which amortizes into interest expense over the life of the loan and results in an imputed interest rate of 4.13%.

⁽⁴⁾  On October 30, 2015, the maturity date of the revolving loan was extended to October 30, 2019 and $100 million of borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility was converted to a new unsecured term loan with a rate of LIBOR plus 1.65% to 2.25% and a maturity date of October 30, 2022.

⁽¹⁾    Calculated as the tenant's actual September 30, 2015 base rent (defined as cash base rents including abatements) multiplied by 12. Excludes vacant space as of September 30, 2015. Because annualized base rental revenue is not derived from historical results that were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, historical results differ from the annualized amounts. Total abatements for leases in effect as of September 30, 2015 equaled approximately $114,000 for the month ended September 30, 2015.

⁽²⁾    Calculated as annualized base rent divided by gross leasable area leased as of September 30, 2015.  Excludes vacant space as of September 30, 2015.

29

⁽³⁾  Represents (i) the contractual base rent for leases in place as of September 30, 2015, adjusted to a straight-line basis to reflect changes in rental rates throughout the lease term and amortize free rent periods and abatements, but without regard to tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions, divided by (ii) square footage under commenced leases of September 30, 2015.

⁽⁴⁾  Includes (i) new acquisitions, through the earlier of attainment of 90% occupancy or 18 months of ownership, and (ii) properties that are undergoing significant redevelopment or re-tenanting.

⁽⁵⁾  As of September 30, 2015, these parcels of land were held for development and, therefore, had no gross leasable area.
