    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gulf Properties Inc.
(NYSE: PAG), an equity real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, develops
and manages industrial and multifamily properties, including rental housing
for 'active seniors,' today reported the Company's operating results for
June 30, 2000.  For the second quarter ended June 30 pro forma Funds From
Operations (assuming the conversion of all preferred shares) totaled
$16,465,000, or $0.70 per share.  That number reflects an increase of 13% per
share over the $14,664,000, or $0.62 per share, generated one year ago, which
is due primarily to strong increases in same-store rents.  The $0.70 per share
exceeds First Call Corp. consensus estimates by $0.02 per share.
    For the six months ended June 30, pro forma Funds From Operations
increased 12% to $32,151,000, or $1.37 per share, over $28,666,000, or
$1.22 per share, for the one-year-ago period.  That increase was due to strong
growth in same-store rents.
    Net operating income, or gross rental income less rental operating
expenses, for the second quarter of 2000 was $26,043,000 on revenues of
$34,067,000, versus $23,234,000 on revenues of $30,864,000 for the year-ago
period.  This represents a 12% increase for the Company.  Income available to
common shareholders was $10,418,000, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared with
$8,102,000, or $0.40 per diluted share, as reported in the second quarter of
1999.
    Net operating income for the first six months of 2000 was $50,929,000 on
revenues of $67,997,000, versus $45,364,000 on revenues of $60,554,000 one
year ago, representing a 12% increase.  Income available to common
shareholders increased to $18,470,000, or $0.88 per diluted share, from
$17,873,000, or $0.88 per diluted share, one year ago.

    INDUSTRIAL PORTFOLIO
    Within the Company's industrial portfolio, Pacific Gulf Properties
completed leases for 1.1 million square feet at its stabilized properties
during the second quarter of 2000.  This activity generated a 15% increase in
effective rental rates over ending rates on expired leases.  Industrial
properties generated 83% of the Company's total net operating income during
the second quarter of 2000 and 82% in the first six months of the year.  For
the first six months of 2000, 2.3 million square feet were re-leased at the
Company's stabilized properties, reflecting a 12% increase in effective rental
rates over ending rates on expired leases.
    Same-store results for the 12.4 million square feet of industrial
properties owned during both the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter
of 1999 reflect an increase in net operating income of 9%, due primarily to a
8% increase in rental revenues.  For the first six months of 2000, same-store
net operating income also increased 10%, due to a 9% increase in rental
revenues.
    As of June 30, the occupancy rate in the Company's industrial portfolio
was 95% in 2000, compared to 96% in 1999.

    MULTIFAMILY PORTFOLIO

primarily from a 7% increase in rental revenues.  For the first six months of
2000, same-store net operating income increased 10% over the one-year-ago
first half, due to an 8% increase in revenues.  Overall occupancy for the
multifamily portfolio at June 30 was 96% in 2000, compared with 95% in 1999.
