BERKSHIRE INCOME REALTY, INC. EXPANDS BOSTON PRESENCE

WITH ACQUISITION OF GATEHOUSE 75

Company Purchases Class-A Community in Charlestown

BOSTON, MA - MARCH 3, 2015 - Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. (NYSE MKT: “BIR-pa”, “BIRPRA”, “BIR-A”, “BIR.PR.A”) (“Berkshire” or the “Company”) today announced it has acquired Gatehouse 75, a 99-unit Class-A apartment community located in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

Specific financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The property was acquired from Metric Corporation. Berkshire Communities, the property management division of Berkshire Group, will manage the apartment community.

“Greater Boston continues to be a market of interest to us since it has one of the nation’s strongest, most-diversified economies, with continued expected employment growth in the healthcare, biotech, technology, education and financial services sectors,” said Chuck Leitner, President and Chairman, Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. “Gatehouse 75 provides us with exposure to this market, with its Charlestown location, close to several Boston neighborhoods, including the North End, Financial District, Government Center, Cambridge and Somerville. We believe this property’s access to public transit, and proximity to retail, restaurants and entertainment offer a compelling proposition to residents desiring a modern community in an urban live-work-play environment.”

Completed in 2014, Gatehouse 75 is situated near Boston’s North End and Financial District, and Cambridge’s Kendall Square. It is within walking distance of the MBTA’s Bunker Hill Orange Line station, and close to I-93 and Logan International Airport. The community is adjacent to a shopping plaza with national and regional retailers. Moreover, Charlestown offers residents renowned restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as cultural and historic attractions. Gatehouse 75’s common area amenities include a club room, fitness center and roof deck, as well as underground parking.
