                   FRANKLIN STREET PROPERTIES CORP. ANNOUNCES
                   SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2006 RESULTS

Wakefield, MA--August 2, 2006--Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company"
or "FSP") (AMEX: FSP) announced today net income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company also announced
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) and provided an update on recent property
acquisitions.

The Company evaluates its performance based on net income, EPS and AFFO, and
believes each is an important measure. The Company considers these measurements
in determining distributions paid to equity holders. A reconciliation of net
income to AFFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided on page 2 of this
press release.
o     EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.43 per share to
      $0.60 per share compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Net
      income was $40.5 million or $0.60 per share (based on 67.1 million
      shares), compared to $9.5 million or $0.17 per share (based on 56.8
      million shares) in 2005.
o     AFFO for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.02 per share to
      $0.30 per share compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. AFFO was
      $20.1 million or $0.30 per share (based on 67.1 million shares), compared
      to $15.7 million or $0.28 per share (based on 56.8 million shares) in
      2005.
o     EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.47 per share to
      $0.84 per share compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net income
      was $53.6 million or $0.84 per share (based on 63.5 million shares),
      compared to $19.9 million or $0.37 per share (based on 53.2 million
      shares) in 2005.
o     AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.09 per share to
      $0.64 per share compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. AFFO was
      $40.4 million or $0.64 per share (based on 63.5 million shares), compared
      to $29.3 million or $0.55 per share (based on 53.2 million shares) in
      2005.

The following significant factors affected net income, EPS and AFFO for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to results for the same
periods in 2005:
o     Gain on sale of three properties during the three months ended June 30,
      2006 generated sales proceeds of approximately $87.8 million and resulted
      in a gain of approximately $28.1 million.
o     Increased net operating income from the real estate portfolio included:
      o     The benefits of four properties acquired by merger in April 2005 and
            five properties acquired by merger in April 2006, which were
            accretive to our per share calculations in all periods.
      o     The benefits of two suburban office properties acquired in 2005 and
            two suburban office properties acquired in 2006.
      o     Termination payments of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2006
            from a tenant at a FSP property in Texas and $4.6 million received
            in the first quarter of 2006 from a tenant at a FSP property in
            Illinois. Both properties have subsequently been re-leased.
o     Improved investment banking results compared to the same periods in 2005.
      Gross proceeds on the sale of securities increased $30.9 million and $23.1
      million for the three and six months of 2006, compared to the same periods
      in 2005.

o     Interest income increased $0.4 million and $0.7 million in the three and
      six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods
      in 2005 as a result of higher bank balances during the periods and rising
      interest rates.
o     These benefits were partially offset by increases in general and
      administrative costs of approximately $0.2 million in the three and $0.2
      million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005, which were
      primarily from costs of monitoring and managing a larger portfolio of
      REITs and expenses incurred related to the public listing of our stock on
      the American Stock Exchange, which commenced on June 2, 2005.
o     Net increase of 10.2 million weighted average shares of FSP common stock
      for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005 due to
      the merger completed on April 30, 2006.

A reconciliation of net income to AFFO is shown below and a definition of AFFO
is provided on Supplemental Schedule F. We believe AFFO is used broadly
throughout the REIT industry as a measurement of liquidity and is generally
calculated in a similar manner to our calculation.

Dividend announcement:

On July 14, 2006 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash
distribution of $0.31 per share of common stock payable on August 21, 2006 to
stockholders of record as of July 31, 2006.

Real Estate Update

During April 2006 we acquired five suburban office properties by merger with a
total of approximately 1.1 million square feet of rentable space. Two properties
are located in Texas, and the other three are located in Colorado, Florida and
Virginia. In late June 2006 we acquired a suburban office building in Atlanta,
Georgia with approximately 0.4 million square feet of rentable space. This
purchase was financed by property sales. In May 2006 we sold an apartment
property located in Katy, Texas, and office properties located in Fairfax,
Virginia and Santa Clara, California, each at a gain. The gain recognition from
the sale of the properties in Texas and Virginia was deferred for tax purposes
through the use of a Section 1031 exchange. We also have another property under
agreement to be sold, which we expect to close during the third quarter of 2006.
As of June 30, 2006, this property was classified on our balance sheet as an
asset held-for-sale. Supplemental Schedule D presents our continuing real estate
portfolio of 31 properties as of June 30, 2006.

George J. Carter, President and CEO, commented as follows:

"Net Income/EPS and AFFO levels for the first half of 2006 were anticipated and,
consequently, planned for within the FSP business/investment model. Six-month
earnings of $0.84 per share and AFFO of $0.64 per share showed measurable
increases over the same period last year. Quarterly dividends paid during the
first half, and declared for the third quarter, remain unchanged at $0.31 per
share/per quarter, or an annual rate of $1.24 per share. I continue to be
confident about the Company's current competitive position within the broader
capital/real estate markets and optimistic about its financial performance for
the balance of 2006.

More specifically, results for the first half of 2006 reflected: (#1) solid
performance in rental operations from the Company's portfolio of properties;
(#2) real estate dispositions totaling approximately $88 million, and the
reinvestment of the bulk of those sale proceeds; and (#3) the closing of real
estate investment banking business totaling $84.4 million.

#1. As of June 30, 2006, the Company's continuing portfolio of 31 properties was
91% leased. Most of FSP's properties are suburban office buildings, and, in most
markets, we are continuing to find improving conditions for both occupancy and
rental rates. However, there are still tenant leases which were signed at the
height of the most recent office market cycle (approximately 1997-2001).
Consequently, FSP and many other office property owners continue to face some
rent roll downs as old leases expire and new ones are signed. National occupancy
levels continue to improve, but rent levels in most office markets are still
only modestly increasing from a very low level. We believe that significant
broad-based rental increases, above the 1997-2001 peak, are probably one to
three years away, assuming continued overall U.S. economic growth and
traditional cyclical real estate dynamics. FSP is aggressively managing its
lease turnover to maximize rental operations' contribution as the office markets
continue to climb back up their cyclical curve. Concern always remains about the
possibility of a new, significant downturn in the broader economy that would
reverse the positive trends our markets are starting to see. Lofty worldwide
energy prices, inflation and interest rates, as well as geopolitical events, are
likely to be influencing factors.

#2. During the first half of 2006, the Company disposed of three properties.
Proceeds from the property sales totaled approximately $88 million and, along
with some remaining proceeds from fourth quarter 2005 property sales, have been
substantially reinvested in other properties. All properties acquired directly
for the FSP portfolio (i.e., not held for investment banking syndication) were
purchased for all cash and continue to be owned without any mortgage debt, as is
every other property in FSP's portfolio. There continue to be existing real
estate assets in our portfolio which we believe are potential sale candidates,
either because of property specific or market driven reasons. In general,
property sales will be considered only if we believe the potential exists to
reinvest the sale proceeds in new assets that have better near-term or long-term
return potential than the assets we sold. Without any permanent mortgage debt,
cash from property sales can be used to acquire new real estate assets, purchase
stock under our stock repurchase plan and/or add to property reserves if needed.
Current high market pricing and competition for potentially acceptable property
acquisitions continue to present challenges, but new opportunities are always
being reviewed. Upgrading FSP's portfolio is an ongoing objective.

#3. First half investment banking business closed on $84.4 million of investor
capital consisting of the partial syndication of one office property. FSP's
Investment Banking group has had a difficult time during the last few years
finding properties that meet its investment criteria. Higher pricing and greater
competition for quality commercial real estate have reduced the number of
attractive potential acquisitions we would consider. The prospects for property
acquisitions for FSP's Investment Banking group remain uncertain."

                            Supplementary Schedule F
              Definition of Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO")

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on
several measures including Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") as management
believes that AFFO represents an important measure of the reportable segment's
activity and is an important consideration in determining distributions paid to
equity holders. The Company defines AFFO as: net income as computed in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP"); excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and
non-cash income from Sponsored REITs; plus certain non-cash items included in
the computation of net income (depreciation and amortization and straight-line
rent adjustments); plus distributions received from Sponsored REITs; plus the
net proceeds from the sale of land; less recurring purchases of property and
equipment incurred to maintain the assets' value or for tenant improvements
("Capital Expenditures") and payments for deferred leasing commissions, plus
proceeds from (payments to) cash reserves. Depreciation and amortization, gain
or loss on the sale of real estate and straight-line rents are an adjustment to
AFFO, as these are non-cash items included in net income. Capital Expenditures,
payments of deferred leasing commissions and the proceeds from (payments to) the
funded reserve are an adjustment to AFFO, as they represent cash items not
reflected in net income.

The cash reserve represents funds that the Company has set aside from time to
time in anticipation of future capital needs. These reserves are typically used
for the payment of Capital Expenditures, deferred leasing commissions and
certain tenant allowances; however, there are no legal restrictions on their use
and they may be used for any Company purpose. AFFO should not be considered as
an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an
indicator of the Company's financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash
flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a
measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of
sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Other real estate
companies may define AFFO in a different manner. It is at the Company's
discretion to retain a portion of AFFO for operational needs. We believe that in
order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, AFFO
should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.
