Bluerock Residential Growth REIT (BRG) Provides Update on Rent Collections and Schedules Second Quarter 2020 Earnings - Conference Call Set for August 10

NEW YORK, July 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (NYSE: BRG) (the "Company" or "BRG") today provided a second quarter update on rent collections and occupancy.

Rent Collections and Occupancy

On a preliminary basis, for the second quarter of 2020, the Company reported rent collections from its multifamily properties of 97%, including payment plans of 1%.

The Company's operating portfolio occupancy at June 30, 2020 increased month-over-month from 94% to approximately 95%.

The Company's continued stability is attributable to several factors, including the focus on knowledge economy markets, primarily in the south and west, the strategy to own Class A affordable luxury apartment communities, and a tenancy targeted towards knowledge economy renters by choice, including those employed in health care, technology, education, sciences, and finance, a demographic often characterized by healthier, more stable, wage-to-rent ratios.
