Exhibit 99.2 Valuation Update Meeting December 12, 2019
The information contained herein should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, the information in KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III’s (the “Company” or “KBS REIT III”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 (the “Quarterly Reports”) and in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on December 12, 2019, including the “Risk Factors” contained therein. For a full description of the Important limitations, methodologies and assumptions used to value the Company’s assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the Company’s estimated value per share, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 12, 2019 (the “Valuation 8-K”). Disclosures Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The Company makes no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on a number of assumptions involving the judgment of management. The Company may fund distributions from any source including, without limitation, from offering proceeds or borrowings. Distributions paid through September 30, 2019 have been funded with cash flow from operating activities, debt financing and proceeds from asset sales. There are no guarantees that the Company will continue to pay distributions or that distributions at the current rate are sustainable. No assurances can be given with respect to distributions. Actual events may cause the value and returns on the Company’s investments to be less than that used for purposes of the Company’s estimated NAV per share. With respect to the estimated NAV per share, the appraisal methodology used for the appraised properties assumes the properties realize the projected net operating income and expected exit cap rates and that investors would be willing to invest in such properties at yields equal to the expected discount rates. The valuation for the Company’s investment in units of Prime US REIT assumes a discount for the holding period risk attributable to transfer restrictions and blockage due to the quantity of units held by the Company and such discount is driven by trading volume in Prime US REIT’s units in the public market and expected future volatility. Though the appraisals of the appraised properties and the valuation of the Company’s investment in units of Prime US REIT, with respect to Duff & Phelps, and the valuation estimates used in calculating the estimated value per share, with respect to Duff & Phelps, the Company’s advisor and the Company, are the respective party’s best estimates as of September 30, 2019, December 3, 2019 and December 4, 2019, as applicable, the Company can give no assurance in this regard. Even small changes to these assumptions could result in significant differences in the appraised values of the appraised properties, the valuation of the Company’s investment in units of Prime US REIT and the estimated value per share. Further, the Company can make no assurances with respect to the future value appreciation of its properties and ultimate returns to investors. Stockholders may have to hold their shares for an indefinite period of time. The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to provide additional liquidity to stockholders. The Company’s conflicts committee, which is composed of all of its independent directors, has approved the pursuit of the Company’s conversion to a perpetual-life NAV REIT, which includes submitting to stockholders for their approval two proposals related to the Company’s conversion to an NAV REIT. However, even if these proposals are approved by the Company’s stockholders, implementation of these proposals and the Company’s conversion to an NAV REIT remain subject to further approval of the conflicts committee and board of directors, and regulatory, market or business considerations may influence the Company to delay the implementation of the NAV REIT conversion or abandon the Company’s conversion to an NAV REIT. Even if the Company converts to an NAV REIT, there is no assurance that the Company will successfully implement its strategy. The statements herein also depend on factors such as: future economic, competitive and market conditions; the Company’s ability to maintain and/or improve occupancy levels and rental rates at its real estate properties; and other risks identified in Part I, Item IA of the Company’s Annual Report, in Part II, Item IA of the Company’s Quarterly Reports and in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on December 12, 2019.

2019 Estimated Value per Share 107
KBS REIT III’s estimated value per share was determined in accordance with the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives’ (formerly known as the Investment Program Association) Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Valuation Registered Non-Listed REITs. Duff & Phelps, an independent, third-party real estate valuation firm, was engaged to provide a calculation of the 1 range in estimated value per share of common stock as of December 4, 2019. Duff & Phelps based the range in Information estimated value per share upon: o Appraisals of 20 of KBS REIT III’s real estate properties owned as of September 30, 2019 and an estimated value for the investment in units of PRIME US REIT (SGX Ticker: OXMU) as of December 3, 2019, performed by Duff & Phelps. o Valuations performed by the Advisor of KBS REIT III’s other assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2019. The estimated value of the mortgage debt is equal to the GAAP fair value as disclosed in the footnotes to the Quarterly Report, and the estimated values of cash and a majority of other assets and other liabilities are equal to their carrying values; and o Adjustments to KBS REIT III’s net asset value to give effect to the October 23, 2019 authorization of a special dividend of $0.80 per share on the outstanding shares of common stock of KBS REIT III to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 4, 2019, (the “Special Dividend); and o The estimated value per share did not include an enterprise (portfolio) premium or discount. Consideration was given to any potential subordinated participation in cash flows that would be due to the Advisor in a hypothetical liquidation if the required stockholder return thresholds are met. The Advisor estimated the fair value of this liability to be $29.8 million or $0.17 per share as of the valuation date, and included the impact of this liability in its calculation of the estimated value per share. KBS REIT III’s board of directors approved $11.65 as the estimated value per share of KBS REIT III’s common stock, which approximates the mid-range value of the range in estimated value per share calculated by Duff & Phelps, and which estimated value per share was recommended by the Advisor and KBS REIT III’s conflicts committee. Both the 1 For more information, see the Valuation 8-K filed with the SEC on December range in estimated value per share and the estimated value per share were based on Duff & Phelps appraisals, Duff 12, 2019. and Phelps valuation of KBS REIT III’s investment in units of Prime US REIT and the Advisor’s valuations.

Hardware Village Significant Real The appraised value increased $31.9 million, or 22.9%, compared to prior year appraised value plus capital expenditures due to the following: Estate Changes • The prior year appraisal assumed an additional $26 million of capital spend to complete construction on the East building, whereas the property is now substantially completed. • Due to the timing of construction completion, the current appraisal assumes an end of year 1 stabilization vs. the prior year appraisal assuming a mid-to-end of year 2 stabilization. • Increase of approximately 3.9% to the year 1 rental rates in the current appraisal (which is in line with leases being signed) vs. the prior appraisal. • Discount rate used in the appraisal improved 150 bps from the prior year to account for the stabilization timing following construction. As of September 30, 2019, the West Building was 65% leased. Domain Gateway Hardware Village The appraised value increased $27.7 million, or 34.8%, compared to prior year appraised value plus capital expenditures due to the following: • Since the last appraisal, KBS has signed a lease with Indeed Inc. to lease the entire building on a 13 year lease term with minimal downtime between leases. In-place rents increased from approximately $22.35/sf NNN to $35.00/sf NNN. • Investor appetite for office product in Austin remains strong as Austin is among the most sought after and healthiest office markets in the country. This is evidenced by record shattering price per foot sale numbers across the market including valuations approaching $850 per square foot in the CBD. • The increased term resulting from Indeed’s lease has contributed to a significant decrease in the cap rate and discount rate applied to the property; this is further supported by a decreasing interest rate environment and a Domain Gateway national demand for long-term credit tenancy. WWW. KBS.COM 14
515 Congress Significant Real The appraised value increased $15.7 million, or 11.2%, compared to prior year appraised value plus capital expenditures due to the following: Estate Changes • Market rental rates have increased between appraisal periods in Austin, particularly within the CBD. Year 1 net rental rates between the current and prior year appraisals increased by 14% from $35.00 psf to $40.00 psf, which is in line with leases being signed. • Demand for office product in Austin remains strong. The price per foot sale numbers is record high across the market including valuations approaching $850 per square foot in the CBD. • Strong demand for CBD office space has allowed the property to outperform the 2018 appraisal leasing assumptions. The Almaden & Ten Almaden Collectively, the appraised values for these two properties increased $32.2 million, or 8.3%, 515 Congress compared to prior year appraised value plus capital expenditures due to the following: • Market rental rates have increased significantly between appraisal dates in Downtown San Jose. At both properties, the appraiser’s year 1 net rental rates between the current and prior year appraisals increased by 13% from an average of $49.70 psf to $56.30 psf, which is in line with leases being signed. • Investor appetite for office product in Downtown San Jose is among the most sought after and healthiest office markets in the country. The price per foot sale numbers is record high across the market including one Class A office tower trading for $667 per square foot in June 2019 in the CBD despite being only 70% leased. • Jay Paul Co. has taken over 845,000 SF of office space in the market while they master plan their future development, causing a sharp decrease in office availability in downtown San Jose. The Almaden Ten Almaden WWW. KBS.COM 15
RBC Plaza Significant Real The appraised value decreased $13.1 million, or 7.8%, compared to prior year appraised value plus capital expenditures due to the following: Estate Changes • RBC Capital Markets will vacate approximately 280,000sf on November 30, 2021 and will move to development. As a result, the value was reduced due to the expected downtime and re-leasing costs that will follow. • We have proposals out to multiple groups to backfill potentially all of RBC’s 2021 expiration space well ahead of RBC’s lease expiration. Once some or all of that backfill space is secured, we expect an increase in the property’s valuation at that time. • RBC has indicated a need for a holdover period which we are in the process of negotiating with them at this time as part of our discussions with at least one of our current backfill prospects. Park Place Village RBC Plaza The appraised value decreased $14.1 million, or 11.9%, compared to prior year appraised value plus capital expenditures due to the following: • Lack of leasing in the property’s retail negatively affected value, with market retail rents dropping from $40-$45/sf gross to $30-$45/sf gross. • General vacancy was increased from 4% to 7% to account for the current South Johnson County Class A vacancy rate of 11.9%. Additionally, this figure is taking into account the current in-place rents, which are right at market. • The 2019 appraisal includes $2.3 million of leasing costs associated with a possible AMC extension. This was not previously underwritten and since the terminal cap rate and discount rate remained unchanged, this caused a negative impact to value. • The lack of change in cap rate and discount rate with AMC’s lease is primarily due to the lack of investor appetite for Park Place Village core-plus investments, especially those in tertiary markets such as suburban Kansas City.
