Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gulf Properties
Inc. (NYSE: PAG), an equity real estate investment trust (REIT) that is
currently in the process of liquidating its assets today reported the
Company's results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2000.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2000, income available to common
shareholders totaled $224,592,000, or $8.94 per share.  This amount includes
gains on sales of real estate of $218,915,000 and represents an increase of
1,887% per share over the $9,349,000, or $0.45 per share, generated for the
same period a year ago.  The increase is due primarily to the sale of a
significant portion of the Company's industrial and multifamily portfolio in
the fourth quarter of 2000.  The Company's shareholders, on November 9, 2000,
approved the sale of the Company's assets and the subsequent liquidation and
dissolution of the Company.
    For the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, income available to common
shareholders increased 508% to $251,380,000, or $10.40 per share, over
$34,899,000, or $1.71 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1999.  This
increase is also due to the sale of a significant portion of the Company's
industrial and multifamily portfolio.
    In December 2000, the Company made a special cash distribution of
$22.00 per share.  The distribution was paid December 15, 2000 to shareholders
of record on December 11, 2000.
    Due to these portfolio sales, the Company's operating results during the
fourth quarter of 2000, and for the year ended December 31, 2000 are not
comparable to the corresponding prior year periods and are not representative
of future operations.

    PORTFOLIO LIQUIDATION
    During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company sold substantially all of
its industrial and multifamily portfolio.  The Company sold 66 industrial
properties for an aggregate price of approximately $853 million and
10 traditional multifamily apartment properties for an aggregate price of
approximately $122 million.
    The Company continues to proceed with its liquidation plan and the sale of
its remaining assets.  These assets include six industrial properties, one
traditional multifamily property, six active senior multifamily properties,
and an additional six active senior multifamily properties currently under
development.
