              CABOT INDUSTRIAL TRUST REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
              ----------------------------------------------------

              $0.49 IN FFO PER SHARE:  17% growth in FFO per share

 . Completed 5 separate acquisitions for $68 million during quarter at 10% yields

 . $13 million in developments have come on line to date at 11.8% stabilized

BOSTON, MA April 28, 1999 -- Cabot Industrial Trust (NYSE: CTR) today reported
funds from operations (FFO) per share of $0.49 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 compared to $0.42 on a pro forma basis for last year representing a 17%
increase in FFO per share.  Funds available for distribution were $0.44 for the
quarter and $0.38 on a proforma basis for last year.  Cabot Industrial Trust
completed its initial public offering on February 4, 1998 and comparative
results are shown herein on a proforma basis after adjusting for a partial first
quarter in 1998.

Ferdinand Colloredo-Mansfeld CEO and Chairman of Cabot Industrial Trust
reported, "All aspects of our business remain strong.  We continue to experience
solid demand across the national industrial markets; leasing remains strong not
only across our existing portfolio but also for our development properties.
Further, our acquisition effort continues to benefit from reduced levels of
competition, particularly for smaller transactions.  We achieved strong growth
in FFO per share, and remain well positioned for continued steady growth."

Cabot's activities in the first quarter include:

Internal year-over-year growth of 4%

During the first quarter Cabot completed 1.4 million square feet of leasing.
Occupancy remains at 97%

with tenant retention at 72%. Rent increases on signed leases averaged 13%, with
29% for multitenant, 25% for workspace and 3% for bulk . As a result of this
strong activity and continued attention to tenant relations throughout Cabot's
seven regional property management offices, same store cash basis NOI grew by 4%
from first quarter 1998 to first quarter 1999.

Continued opportunity for "value" acquisitions: acquisition yields of 10%

Cabot continued its aggressive, highly selective individual property acquisition
strategy.  During the first quarter it completed the acquisitions of 34
properties for $68 million in five separate transactions.  The 34 properties,
located in the Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Baltimore/Washington D.C. and Dallas
markets, contain 1.7 million rentable square feet, of which 42% is multitenant
and 58% is workspace property.  The properties were 98% leased and were acquired
at 10% yields.

Strong demand for development projects: 11.8% on stabilized projects

Cabot's development program is targeted toward projects with strong user demand
and reduced competition, primarily workspace and multitenant buildings. Cabot's
total development pipeline is well diversified, encompassing eleven projects in
eleven different submarkets in nine of its target markets.

Projects under development through March 31, 1999 total $89.3 million in
projected development costs and will add 1.8 million square feet of product. Of
these new properties, currently 29% have been leased or pre-leased. The 384,750
square feet in Orlando and Phoenix for which construction has been finished are
already fully leased at a blended annual stabilized yield of 11.8%. The
remaining projects are located in Ontario, California, the Baltimore-Washington
Corridor, Northern Virginia, Dallas, Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Broward County,
Florida.
