Chambers Street – Fourth Quarter2013 Financial Results

– Core FFO per Diluted Share of $0.17 –

– Executes 972,000 Square Feet of New and Renewal Leases –

– Provides 2014 Core FFO Guidance –

PRINCETON, N.J. – February 28, 2014 – Chambers Street Properties (NYSE: CSG) ("Chambers Street" or the "Company"), a real estate investment trust focused on acquiring, owning and managing net leased industrial and office properties, today reported its financial results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013.

"We continued to strengthen our portfolio during the fourth quarter with approximately 972,000 square feet of leasing, resulting in a leased percentage of 96.5%. Core FFO was $0.17 per diluted share, a significant improvement compared to the fourth quarter last year," stated Jack A. Cuneo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Chambers Street. "In addition, we continued to execute all of our corporate strategies, by adding $106.0 million in high-quality acquisitions, and increasing the capacity and flexibility of our balance sheet, the strength of which was affirmed with investment grade ratings from Moody's and S&P. As we look to 2014, we believe our strong, stable portfolio should support steady improvement in our cash flows, while we continue to monitor markets for additional investment opportunities."

Operational and Financial Highlights Fourth Quarter2013

• Grew Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") to $0.17 per diluted share, an improvement of $0.06 per share compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

• Increased total portfolio percentage leased to 96.5% as of December 31, 2013 from 96.0% as of September 30, 2013.

• Executed 11 leases, representing approximately 972,000 square feet.

• Acquired an 80% equity interest in three fully-leased properties encompassing approximately 1,608,000 square feet for approximately $106.0 million.

• Sold two wholly-owned properties for $31.1 million and three unconsolidated properties for a gross sales price of $85.5 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $73.0 million.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013

Core FFO for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased to $39.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $26.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in Core FFO was driven primarily by acquisitions, partially offset by higher corporate general and administrative expenses, and an increase in interest expense resulting from additional borrowings.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") as defined by NAREIT for the fourth quarter2013 increased to $34.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, as compared to $6.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. The growth in FFO was driven by the same factors that increased Core FFO, as well as a higher loss from extinguishment of debt in the prior year period.

Net income for the fourth quarter2013 totaled $4.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $26.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Investment Activity

In December, the Company acquired an 80% ownership interest in a newly developed 844,000 square foot warehouse/distribution property located near Lille, France, for $56.4 million. The property is part of the Lauwin-Planque Business Park, located in the Nord Pas de Calais region, one of continental Europe’s largest logistics and economic hubs. The property was completed in October 2013 and is fully leased to the European operating subsidiary of one of the world’s largest internet retailers on a long-term, triple-net basis.

In December, the Company acquired two warehouse/distribution properties in Germany totaling approximately 763,000 square feet, for $49.6 million. Both of these build-to-suit properties are located in primary logistics regions with access to Germany’s extensive transportation networks and are 100% leased.

Including these investments, the Company acquired a total of 23 properties or interests in properties, for a total aggregate investment of $347.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the fourth quarter 2013, the Company sold a retail park in Wakefield, United Kingdom, a two-building, multi-tenant office park in St. Louis, Missouri, a multi-tenant warehouse facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a retail center in Charlotte, North Carolina. These properties were sold for an aggregate of $104.0 million, at the Company's pro rata share.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had total debt outstanding of approximately $1.6 billion, including its pro rata share of unconsolidated entities. The Company's debt had a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%, and an average remaining term to maturity of 5.11 years.

On November 6, 2013, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC and established an at-the-market offering program through which it may sell, from time to time, common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million.

In December, the Company received a Baa3 issuer rating from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). The receipt of a Baa3 issuer rating from Moody’s resulted, beginning on December 10, 2013, in adjustments to the interest rates on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities.

Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company received a BBB- corporate issuer rating from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (“S&P”).

Common Share Dividend

On February 26, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved a monthly distribution of $0.042 per common share for each of the months of April, May, and June of 2014. The April dividend will be paid on May 7, 2014 to all holders of record on April 30, 2014, the May dividend will be paid on June 6, 2014 to all holders of record on May 30, 2014; and the June dividend will be paid on July 8, 2014 to all holders of record on June 30, 2014.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures:

Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, created Funds from Operations, or FFO, as a non-GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, which is designed to reflect the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO is used commonly in the real estate industry because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, impairment charges and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Core Funds from Operations

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. We calculate Core Funds from Operations, or Core FFO, as FFO exclusive of the net effects of acquisition costs, interest rate swap gains/losses, non-recurring expenses such as transition and listing costs, and unrealized gain/loss in investments in unconsolidated entities.

We believe that Core FFO is a useful measure of management’s decision-making process and appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. For example, our acquisition costs are primarily the result of the volume of our acquisitions completed during each period, and therefore we believe such acquisition costs are not reflective of our operating results during each period. Similarly, unrealized gains or losses that we have recognized during a given period are based primarily upon changes in the estimated fair market value of certain of our investments due to changes in market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of these properties during the corresponding period. Further, costs associated with certain other non-reoccurring expenses, such as the process of transitioning from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company, our listing of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange and our modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer are not reflective of our operating results during each period.

We believe that Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because adjusting FFO to exclude acquisition costs, unrealized gains and/or losses or other non-reoccurring expenses provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including if we cease to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis and allows for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that are not currently engaging in acquisitions. We also believe that Core FFO may provide investors with a useful indication of our future performance, and of the sustainability of our current distribution policy. However, because Core FFO excludes acquisition costs, unrealized gains or losses and/or other non-recurring expenses which are important components in an analysis of our historical performance, such supplemental measure should not be construed as a historical performance measure and may not be as useful a measure for estimating the value of our common shares.

Adjusted Funds from Operations

We calculate Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO, as Core FFO exclusive of the net effects of (i) amortization associated with deferred financings costs; (ii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles; (iii) amortization of premium on notes payable; (iv) amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant improvements; (v) non-cash share-based compensation expense; (vi) straight-line rental revenue; and (vii) recurring capital expenditures.

Not all REITs calculate FFO, Core FFO or AFFO (or an equivalent measure), in the same manner and therefore comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. None of these measures present, nor do we intend for them to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, Core FFO and

AFFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public’s understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
